According to the Drik Panchang, it is a powerful night for devotion, introspection, and surrender.

Why is Saavan the holiest month and 3 things that one can do to attract positivity even without fasting
Shravan Month is considered as one of the holiest months in the year as per the Hindu calendar. It is the fifth month in the Hindu calendar. But why is this month called Shravan? It is believed that on Poornima or a full moon day or at any time during this month, the Shravan Nakshatra, or star, rules the skies, and hence, this month derives its name from this nakshatra. Devotees offering Patram-pushpam & falam-toyam to Shiva linga in Shravan Maas. The Shravan month is synonymous with auspicious festivals and events. It is the best time to conduct all-important religious ceremonies, as almost all days in this month are auspicious for shubh arambh, i.e., good start. Shravan maas's ruling deity is Lord Shiva. In this month, each Monday is celebrated as Shravan Somvar across all temples with the Dharanatra hanging over the Shiva linga, bathing it with holy water and milk, throughout the day into the night. Devotees offer Bael leaves, flowers, holy water and milk, i.e., Falam-Toyam and Pushpam-Patram, to lord Shiva on every Shravan Somwar. They fast until the sun goes down and the Nandadeep, the Akhand Diya, burns throughout. The significance of Lord Shiva in Shravan (Sawan) Month The Samudra Manthan is a very important episode as per the Puranas. The churning of the milky ocean, i.e., Samudra Manthan, in search of the amrit, took place during the month of Shravan. During the churning, 14 different rubies emerged from the ocean. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Top 15 Most Beautiful Women in the World Undo Thirteen rubies were divided among the devas and the asuras; however, Halahal, the 14th ruby, remained untouched, as it was the deadliest poison, which could destroy the whole universe and every living being. Lord Shiva drank the Halahal and stored the poison in his throat. Due to the impact of the poison, his throat turned blue and he came to be called Neelkantha. Such was the impact of the poison that Lord Shiva wore a crescent moon on his head and all the devas started offering water from the holy river Ganges to lord Shiva to reduce the effects of the poison. Both these events took place in the Shravan Maas and therefore, it is considered very auspicious to offer holy Ganga water to Lord Shiva in this month. What are the three things everyone who cannot go to temple or keep fast do for positivity and blessings? If you are unable to fast or visit temples this Sawan due to health, work, or other limitations, don't worry! Chant powerful mantras at home Recite 'om namah shivay' or the 'maha mrityunjay mantra' daily. These mantras are known for their healing energy and vibrations.
