Mumbai: As the sacred month of Sawan (Shravan) begins in 2025, millions of devotees across India turn their devotion towards Lord Shiva, the destroyer and transformer in the Hindu trinity. Worshipping Shiva during this holy month is considered highly auspicious and rewarding. In particular, the act of offering water (Jalabhishek) to the Shivling is said to not only fulfil one’s deepest desires but also wash away sorrows and bring peace and prosperity.

However, what many devotees may not know is that there are certain ancient, mystical rules associated with offering water to Lord Shiva—rules that are hidden in scriptures like the Puranas and Tantra Shastra. These secret principles, if followed correctly, can amplify the benefits of the ritual and even alter one’s fate. Let’s explore three such powerful and lesser-known rules that can make your Sawan 2025 truly transformative.

1. Never Let Water Touch the Rear Side of the Shivling
According to the Shiv Puran, the rear portion of the Shivling—also known as the Brahmabhag—is considered extremely sacred and must never be touched or sprinkled with water. Devotees must ensure that the water they pour flows only from the front (the mukhbhag) of the Shivling and reaches the jaladhari (the water outlet). Violating this rule is believed to make the ritual ineffective or flawed, while strict adherence enhances spiritual merit.

2. Perform Jalabhishek Before Sunrise on Mondays
One of the most potent times to perform Jalabhishek in Sawan is before sunrise, during the Brahma Muhurat—a highly charged spiritual time just before dawn. According to Vedic belief, offering water during this auspicious window on Sawan Mondays yields results that are 100 times more effective than usual. It is also the ideal time for meditation, chanting mantras, and engaging in spiritual practices. If possible, aim to pour water on the Shivling before the break of day for maximum benefit.

3. Whisper Your Desire Secretly in Your Mind
Both Tantra and modern psychology believe in the power of silently expressing your desires to the divine. When a wish is kept hidden and shared only with God, the chances of its fulfilment increase significantly. While pouring water on the Shivling, devotees are encouraged to mentally speak their desire to Lord Shiva—but never utter it aloud or share it with others. This forms the core of a powerful ‘secret tantric principle’ that enhances the manifestation of your wish.

Sawan is not just about devotion but about mindful worship. These sacred yet secret rules can turn a simple ritual into a powerful spiritual practice. If you follow these ancient guidelines with faith and precision, you may experience not just peace and clarity—but a complete shift in your life’s trajectory.
