Dehradun. Sawan month is starting from 4th July. This year the month of Sawan will be special in many ways. Firstly, after 19 years, the month of Sawan will be of 59 days instead of 30 days.
Second, this time the month of Sawan is starting in Indra Yoga. The one who will fulfill the wishes of the devotees and will be the one who will accomplish the work.
This year the month of Sawan will be special. One month of Sawan will be of two months, the second will start in Indra Yoga and third this time there will be a gap of one and a half months between Shivratri and Raksha Bandhan.
In normal days, the full moon date i.e. Rakshabandhan falls only 15 days after Shivratri, but this time there is such a rare coincidence that Rakshabandhan will happen after 45 days. He told that there is a difference between the lunar year and the solar year.
In Indian astrology, the year is calculated in many ways. In which the solar year and the lunar year also comes. He told that this year the devotees will get eight Mondays to worship Lord Shiva. This is also a wonderful coincidence in itself. Jalabhishek of Lord Shiva will start at around 8:30 pm on 15th July. Because Trayodashi Tithi will end around 8:30. At the same time Chaturdashi Tithi and Bhadra will start, but due to Gemini being in Bhadra Nag Lok, Bhadra will not be an obstacle in Jalabhishek. There the month of Sawan will remain till 31st August.
These four coincidences will be special
• Sawan month will be of two months
• It will start in Indra Yoga
• There will be a gap of one and a half month between Shivratri and Rakshabandhan
