The month of Sawan (Shravan), the great festival of worship of Mahadev, the God of Gods, is at its peak. Every day of Sawan is auspicious for Shiva devotees, but the importance of Pradosh Vrat is considered to be the most special in the scriptures. The second Pradosh fast falling on the Trayodashi date of Shukla Paksha of Sawan month is bringing a very special coincidence. When Pradosh Vrat falls on a Tuesday, it is called ‘Bhaum Pradosh Vrat’. According to Hindu scriptures, Bhaum Pradosh Vrat is the rarest opportunity to receive the combined blessings of Lord Shiva and Mangal Dev. It is believed that by worshiping Shiva with full rituals on this day, a person gets freedom from disputes regarding land, building, property and the burden of heavy debts.
Date and auspicious time of second Pradosh fast of Sawan
According to Panchang calculations, a special coincidence of the beginning of Trayodashi date of Shukla Paksha of Sawan month and Pradosh period is being formed in the evening. In Pradosh Vrat, the main puja is done after sunset i.e. ‘Pradosh Kaal’.
-
Trayodashi date time: The effect of Sawan Shukla Trayodashi Tithi will remain during Pradosh period.
-
Pradosh Kaal Puja Muhurat: From 06:52 PM to 09:08 PM (total duration approx 2 hours 16 minutes).
-
Abhijeet Muhurat: From 11:58 AM to 12:50 PM (best time for taking resolutions during the day).
-
Amrit Kaal Muhurta: Particularly fruitful for meditation and chanting in the evening before evening worship.
Religious and astrological significance of Bhaum Pradosh fast
Because it falls on Tuesday, it is called Bhaum Pradosh. Mars is considered to be the cause of land (Bhoomiputra), while Lord Shiva is the lord of the entire universe and the presiding deity of Mars. Therefore, for those people who have Manglik Dosh in their horoscope, who have any legal dispute going on regarding land or ancestral property, or who are trying to build their house for a long time, this Bhom Pradosh fast of Sawan is no less than a boon. By observing a fast on this day and performing Rudrabhishek in the evening, the inauspicious effects of Mars are calmed down and chances of immovable property are created.
Surefire solutions to get rid of land obstacles and debt
If you are struggling with real estate issues, delay in flat registration or court disputes, then definitely take these special measures on the evening of Bhaum Pradosh:
-
Abhishekam with honey and red sandalwood: Offer water mixed with Ganga water from a copper pot on Shivalinga. After this apply honey and red sandalwood paste. This calms Mangal Dosh and resolves land disputes.
-
21 Belpatra and Red Kaner flowers: Write Om Namah Shivay on 21 whole wood leaves and offer them on Shivling along with red Kaner flowers.
-
Recitation of Ranamukteshwar Shiva Stotra: If there is a heavy debt on your head, then during Pradosh period, light a four-sided lamp of ghee and recite ‘Rinmukteshwar Mahadev Stotra’ or ‘Mangal Kavach’ at least three times.
-
Donation of lentils: Donating red lentils and jaggery to a needy or Brahmin after the puja relieves financial difficulties.
Complete and authentic worship method of Pradosh Vrat
On the day of the fast, wake up in the morning during Brahma Muhurta, take bath and wear white or light red clothes. Light a lamp in the home temple and take a pledge of Bhaum Pradosh fast with water, Akshat and flowers in your hand. Remain fasting throughout the day or consume fruits as per requirement.
In the evening, 15 minutes before the start of Pradosh Kaal, clean yourself again and sit at the place of worship. Bathe the Shivalinga with Panchamrit (milk, curd, ghee, honey, Ganga water) and then anoint it with pure water. After this, offer ashes, white and red sandalwood, Akshat, Dhatura, Bhang, Janeu, Datika flowers and Belpatra on Shivalinga. Offer red chunari and suhaag material to Goddess Parvati. After this, light incense and lamps and listen or read the story of Sawan Pradosh Vrat. Finally, chant ‘Om Namah Shivay’ and ‘Mahamrityunjaya Mantra’ at least 108 times. After performing the Aarti of Lord Shiva and Mother Gauri, distribute Prasad among everyone and break the fast after sunrise the next day.
