Sawan's Last Monday: 4th August – This Remedy Can Remove Obstacles to Marriage
These days, it is often seen that despite being eligible, many young people face obstacles in getting married. By observing a fast on the last Monday of the holy month of Sawan and following certain astrological remedies, such marriage-related hurdles can be removed. According to Celebrity Astrologer Parduman Suri, the last Monday of Sawan falls on 4th August. For those desiring marriage, the simplest remedy is to offer a ritual bath (Abhishek) to Lord Shiva with saffron-mixed milk in a temple. This act is believed to remove obstacles in marriage. In addition, offer green bangles to married women on this day. You can also gift a green saree. This remedy too is said to help overcome delays in marriage. After bathing and cleansing on Sawan's last Monday, offer vermilion (sindoor) to Goddess Parvati and apply a tilak of that same sindoor on your forehead. Chant the mantra: "ॐ श्रीं वर प्रदाय श्री नमः" Also, donate milk, yogurt, white clothes, foxnuts (makhana), and white sweets to someone in need. Another remedy is to perform Panchamrit Abhishek of Lord Shiva and offer five coconuts to Mahadev, while chanting the mantra: "ॐ सृष्टिकर्ता मम विवाह कुरु कुरु स्वाहा" Remedy for Chandra Dosha The last Monday of Sawan is not just for those seeking marriage. If someone is facing mental stress or financial loss due to Chandra Dosha in their horoscope, they should recite the 'Chandrashekhar Stotra' on Sawan Mondays. This helps reduce the negative effects of the moon. Those experiencing financial hardship should light a ghee lamp near a Bilva tree on Sawan's last Monday. Doing so is believed to quickly attract the blessings of Lord Shiva. Written By: Celebrity Astrologer Parduman Suri..!!

Hariyali Amavasya 2025: Check date, tithi, significance, rituals and more
Hariyali Amavasya 2025: Hariyali Amavasya, or the Shravan Amavasya, is a celebration of life, nature, and gratitude. Amavasya, or the new moon day, holds profound spiritual significance in Hinduism, especially when it falls during the holy month of Shravan. It reflects the lush renewal of life during the monsoon season, and is symbolic of fertility, growth, and preparation for the future. Spiritually, it is considered a period for sowing good intentions and positive karma. Hariyali Amavasya 2025 will be observed on Thursday, July 24. It falls on the Amavasya, new moon day, in the month of Shravan, a sacred month in the Hindu calendar dedicated to Lord Shiva. The day typically arrives three days before the widely celebrated Hariyali Teej and is considered especially auspicious in North Indian states such as Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, and Madhya Pradesh. Start of Amavasya Tithi: 2:28 AM, July 24 End of Amavasya Tithi: 12:40 AM, July 25 Hariyali Amavasya marks the onset of the monsoon season and symbolises nature's renewal and greenery—'Hariyali' means greenery, while 'Amavasya' refers to the new moon. Traditionally, this day is dedicated to praying for a good harvest, prosperity, and environmental well-being. It is widely believed that those who sincerely observe this day are granted peace of mind and divine blessings, especially from their ancestors, Lord Mahadeva and Goddess Parvati. On Hariyali Amavasya, devotees wake up early, bathe, and visit temples, particularly Shiva temples. Some observe fasts or offer food and clothes to the poor. Devotees, especially farmers, worship Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, offering prayers for fertility of the land and bountiful rains. Temples witness special pujas and Shiva Abhishekams, while people also plant trees and saplings, reinforcing the idea of living in harmony with nature. Pitru tarpan (ancestral offerings) is also performed to seek blessings from departed souls. In North-Indian regions like Rajasthan, Hariyali Amavasya is a major cultural event. Fairs and melas are organised. Women often swing on beautifully decorated swings hung on trees and sing traditional songs welcoming the rains. In Mathura and Vrindavan, the festival is associated with Lord Krishna, and devotees engage in devotional singing and community feasts. Begin the day before sunrise with a bath, either at home or in a sacred river or water body. Offer water (Arghya) to Surya Dev, the Sun God, as a gesture of gratitude and to seek blessings. Light a ghee lamp and offer seasonal fruits and sweets to Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, invoking their divine grace and harmony. If possible, visit a nearby temple, especially during the auspicious Guru Pushya Yoga, and perform Gathbandhan rituals as a symbol of unity, love, and commitment. Extend compassion by feeding the poor, donating clothes or food, and supporting those in need; acts of charity are considered highly meritorious on this day. As the day comes to a close, offer Arghya to Chandra Dev, the Moon God, under the evening sky, seeking peace and emotional balance.
