2023 brought us the most potential opportunity for spiritual growth and ascension.
This year Shravan Month and Purushottam Maas are coinciding creating immense energies of HariHara (fusion of Lord Vishnu & Lord Shiva). We will get 8 Mondays to offer prayers to Lord Shiva which is a rare event, usually we get 4 Mondays in a typical Shravan month.
Cherry on the top is Lions Gate Portal coinciding during this phase!
The time each year, Sun conjuncts with Sirius at 14 degrees in Cancer, close to July 4th and its influence reaches peak on 8th August (08/08). This is the time when a sacred gateway of energy is activated bringing heightened vibrations and spiritual advancements.
Sun enters Leo during this time according to the zodiac. Leo, is represented as the child of Sun, filled with pride, sense of purpose, generosity, and an enduring passion, thus this time is called, Lion’s Gate Portal.
Let us explore the powers of each week!

Hindu months are named based on the lunar calendar system, which is known as the "Purnimanta" calendar. The Hindu calendar follows a lunisolar system, which means that the months are based on the phases of the moon as well as the position of the sun.
They are named after the Nakshatra Moon falls in the particular month, for eg If Moon is in Chithra nakshatra, it is called Chaitra month. When the Moon falls in Shravan nakshatra it is known as Shravan month. Important thing here to notice is that each month carries the characteristics of that nakshatra. And each Nakshatra has a presiding Deity.
Deity for Shravan month is Lord Shiva. During this time energies of transformation rises. Worshipping Shiva during this time is highly auspicious. Shiva is the biggest Philanthropist! He gives away everything to His devotees without much effort. He is the most compassionate and benevolent one!
During Shravan month, collective energy of Universe increases the perception of hearing (also known as Shravan, श्रवण in hindi).
That is why, during this whole month people conduct lots of satsang and holy activities where people get benefitted by listening to vedic scriptures and Puranas. Science also supports this concept of increased hearing perception, as we know sound travels faster in moist air than dry. No wonder Shravan month falls in monsoon season where moisture content is much higher than the rest of the year.
There are many reasons to pray to Lord Shiva during this season —
After consuming poison, Shiva's body was heated up so much that all Devi-Devtas poured Ganga jal, milk, honey, sandalwood, bel patra and curd. No wonder, all these things are cooling in nature. Bel patra has many medicinal and healing properties. The leaves are antibacterial, and anti fungal in nature. Bel patra has trifoliate shape which signifies all three 'gunas' (Sattva, Rajas and Tamas). Centre portion of the leaf is concentrated with the perfect balance of the three.
Next time when you offer these things to Lord Shiva, please remember His love and compassion for all living beings. Honouring Him will give you strength to be compassionate for fellow living beings.
Fasting during this month, especially on Mondays, is considered auspicious. Mondays are dedicated to Lord Shiva. Fasting gives us inner strength to gain control of our senses as well as it purifies the body. Fasting has been scientifically proven to remove toxins from our body and improve vitality.
Shravan falls in monsoon season, when microbes are most activated, hence eating mindfully and sattvik food helps keep the body clean and healthy too!

Adhik Maas, also known as Purushottam Maas, is an additional lunar month that occurs once every two to three years in the Hindu calendar. Unlike the regular months, Adhik Maas does not correspond to a specific zodiac sign and does not have any specific deity assigned.
This month is ruled by Lord Vishnu, hence has energies and grace of Narayan. It is considered a time of immense spiritual importance, offering a chance for devotees to engage in acts of devotion, charity, and self-improvement.
Meaning: The month that does not carry Surya Sankranti is called Adhik maasa and the month carrying two Sankrantis is called Kshayamass.
Fasting during this period is equivalent to performing a hundred yagnas, which acts as a path to attainment of complete bliss, delight and peace.
Astrological Remedies performed to rectify any graha dosh in Purushottam masa multiplies the good result by ten times.
Deep Daan, Lighting diya or “Akhanda Jyoti” is very auspicious during this time.
Engage in acts of self-discipline, fasting, and giving to the needy.
Overall, Adhik Maas is regarded as an opportunity for spiritual introspection, discipline, and devotion. It provides us with a chance to deepen our connection with the divine and enhance our spiritual practices.
As we immerse ourselves in the auspicious energies of Adhik Maas, let us embrace the hidden opportunities it presents. Let's use this sacred month to ignite personal growth, deepen our spiritual connection, and make a positive impact on the world around us. May this extraordinary month empower us to unlock our full potential, both personally and professionally.
Wishing you all a blessed and transformative Adhik Maas!
This year is special because Adhik maas is lying in between Shravan month, extending the benefits of Shravan month for 8 weeks which is a very rare phenomenon. Last time 18 years ago this rare event was observed.
With Adhik maas in Shravan month, energies of both Shiva and Vishnu are getting activated on 18th July. It will initiate HariHara energies between 18th July to 16th August 2023.
HariHara is the fusion of Lord Vishnu (Hari) and Lord Shiva (Hara), also known as Rudranarayan, Shambhuvishnu and Shankarnarayan.
Praying to Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva is auspicious during this time. Listening/chanting Vishnu Shahstranaam will bring peace and good health. Rudraabhishek during this Shravan will fulfil desires and remove ill effects of planetary positions.

He is the personification of transformation and balance.
Each and everything in His personality signifies a very important aspect.
The Ganges is one of the holiest rivers, which is believed to have the power to purify and liberate one's soul from the cycle of birth and death (Moksha). Symbolically, the depiction of the Ganga flowing through Shiva's hair signifies the purification and cleansing of impurities and sins.
Shiva is embodiment of dispassion and detachment, and Ganga flowing demonstrates His willingness to accept and channel the powerful spiritual force of Ganga without being affected by it.
It is believed that Ganges originates from Heaven and descends on Earth through Shiva’s locks, symbolically bridging between the celestial and the earthly realms emphasising the interconnectedness of all existence.
It is also known as the "eye of wisdom" or "inner eye." It represents His transcendent knowledge and insight beyond the ordinary perception.
Crescent Moon adorning his matted hair, symbolises the calming and cooling nature of His divine power.
Shiva's hair is depicted as long, matted, and flowing, representing his disregard for conventional appearances and His connection to the forces of nature. Shiva is considered beyond time and the cycle of birth and death. His matted hair, often piled in a vertical fashion, is symbolic of his eternal nature and represents the infinite aspect of the cosmos.
Shiva is shown wearing a snake around his neck or coiled around his arms. The snake represents his control over fear, death, and the cycle of rebirth. It also symbolizes His power to transform the destructive forces into creative energy.
Shiva's body is often covered in ashes, particularly on his forehead and limbs. Ashes symbolize the transient nature of worldly existence and remind devotees of the impermanence of life.
Shiva is often depicted holding a trident, which symbolizes his power over the three fundamental aspects of existence: creation, preservation, and destruction. It represents his ability to maintain cosmic order.
Damru (Drum) represents the rhythmic sound that accompanies the process of creation and dissolution.
It represent His connection to spiritual practices and meditation.
Serpent Bracelets symbolizes His mastery over the life force and His ability to transcend the limitations of the physical body.
It represents His victory over primal instincts and the conquest of desires.
Har in Hindi means “every” and it also means “remove/destroy/take away”.
When we say Har Har, we acknowledge the presence of Mahadev in everything and everyone!
It also means that we request Mahadev to “remove all that is no longer serving us”. So next time when you say Har Har Mahadev! Be mindful of the energy with which you say it.
Because both have different meanings and effects on us!
