Sawan Me Shadi Kyu Nhi Hoti: The month of Sawan is the holiest month in 12 months of the year. With the beginning of Chaturmas, the month of Sawan begins, in this month Shiva devotion remains at its peak. There is gaiety and greenery everywhere. Shiva and Parvati met in this month. Sawan is the time of devotion to Lord Shiva and Mother Parvati, when crowds throng to perform Jalabhishek on Shivling and worship Bholenath. The glory of Kavad Yatra, Shivaratri and Mantra chanting in Sawan makes special, but in this month there are pooja lessons, but there are no works like Mundan, Griha Pravesh, Janeu Shaadi Vivah.
The month of Sawan is the special month of Lord Shiva. According to mythological beliefs, it is possible to attain salvation in Sawan. Nature is also full of greenery in Sawan, which is a symbol of spiritual peace and purity. In this month, the Kandar Yatra, in which devotees bring water from the holy rivers and offer special significance on the Shivalinga and the worship of Sawan is of special importance, but why is there prohibition of Manglik works like marriage in this holy month?
Is auspicious work prohibited in Sawan?
Worships are performed in the month of Sawan, but Manglik work is not done this month. Because when Shravan month starts after Ashada. On the day of Ekadashi of Krishna Paksha of Ashada month, Lord Vishnu goes into sleep sleep in Ksheer Sagar and after that all the Manglik works stop. Along with this, Chaturmas starts after Ekadashi and then not only the spring but for four months all the Manglik works stop. This is the reason that even after the month of Sawan is so sacred, Manglik works are not done in this month. Another important reason for not getting married in Sawan is associated with Chaturmas. In Hinduism, Chaturmas i.e. four months time- Shravan, Bhadrapada, Ashwin, and Karthik are considered to be the time of Yoganidra of Lord Vishnu. According to Vishnu Purana, Lord Vishnu goes to Yoganidra on the bed of Sheshnag in Kshirsagar in the month of Sawan. During this time, he takes a break from the operation of the universe and takes over the responsibility of Lord Shiva.
There is no marriage in spring
According to Skanda Purana and Shiva Purana, the story of not getting married in Sawan is related to Samudra churning. When the gods and asuras churned the ocean to get nectar, many gems as well as a poison called Halahal came out of the sea. This poison was so strong that he could destroy all three worlds. Then Lord Shiva held this poison in his throat and drank it, due to which his throat turned blue and he was called Neelkanth.
In the month of Sawan, Shiva caused intense pain due to the effect of poison and Mother Parvati performed special worship and penance to protect her. For this reason, the month of Sawan is associated with the penance, devotion, and his sacrifice of Shiva. According to mythological belief, this month is suitable for spiritual practice and tenacity, not worldly and manglic works like marriage. Marriage is a symbol of a celebration and happiness, while the month of Sawan is considered to be a time of tenacity and sacrifice, so Manglik functions like marriage are avoided in this month. There is heavy rains in Savan, which makes it difficult to travel and organize a wedding ceremony.
In Manglik works like marriage, the blessings of Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi are considered necessary and Vishnu is currently in sleep, so marriage is not done in Sawan. It is believed that in the absence of Vishnu, functions like marriage cannot get auspicious results. Apart from this, other Manglik works such as home entry and mundan are also postponed in Chaturmas.
Sawan is associated with the tenacity of Goddess Parvati
Another story is related to the penance done in the monsoon of Mata Parvati. According to the Shiva Purana, Mother Parvati did harsh penance in the month of Sawan to get Lord Shiva as her husband. His penance was so strong that Shiva himself appeared in front of him and accepted him as his wife. Due to this story, the month of Sawan became a symbol of tenacity, devotion and self -control.
Marriage is a worldly and festive task, which is associated with happiness and prosperity, but the month of Sawan is a time of tenacity and restraint, when devotees are absorbed in devotion to Lord Shiva by controlling their wishes, so in this month, work like marriage is considered inauspicious, because it is contrary to the purpose of tenacity.
Sawan is dedicated to worship and penance. This time is for self-restraint and worship, not for worldly events like marriage. According to religious belief, getting married in this month is not considered auspicious, because it is time for meditation and meditation. This season occurs frequently rain and bad weather conditions, which are not suitable for organizing a large wedding ceremony. Roads can deteriorate and travel problems may increase due to rain. The tradition of not marrying in Sawan is also part of the beliefs of the society which have been being followed for hundreds of years.
