Want Shiva's blessings? Try these 6 rare night rituals to attract miracles
The month of Shravan is not an ordinary time. It's when Lord Shiva is believed to descend to Earth, ready to remove obstacles, bless devotees, and shift destinies. But while everyone's busy with early morning pujas, few know that the real magic often happens after sunset. Here are six rare Shravan night rituals that are spiritual powerhouses of unlocking the Lord Shiva's blessings - The Milk-Til Offering Pick any Monday night of Shravan. Mix a bit of raw milk with a pinch of black sesame seeds, and pour it over the Shivling. Say your deepest wish out loud. This ritual is known to reduce Rahu-related problems in your life and clear major success blocks. The Ghee Lamp Ritual Try this ritual if you are struggling with finances. Visit a Lord Shiva temple on a Monday night and light a desi ghee diya facing the Shivling. It helps you attract wealth and calm financial turbulence. The Silent Chant In the quiet of the night, chant 'Om Namah Shivaya' 108 times. You can also pair it with the Shiva Chalisa. This simple practice clears negativity, overthinking, and emotional clutter. The Sacred Leaves & Flowers Every day during the month of Shravan, offer bilva leaves, dhatura, and aak flowers on the Shivling. These offerings aren't just symbolic: they're Lord Shiva's favorites. If offered with pure intention, the practice can open divine doors. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Discover Why These Off-Plan Dubai Apartments Sell Fast?

Eateries on Kanwar Yatra route must name owners: UP CM Yogi Adityanath
CM Yogi Adityanath LUCKNOW: Chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday instructed officials that provocative slogans and display of weapons shouldn't be allowed at any cost in the forthcoming festival season. "The atmosphere of joy should prevail but there should be no mischief," was his clear message while reviewing law and order in the state with senior police and administration officials on Wednesday evening. The CM also said that any attempts to disturb peace in the state in the name of caste conflict would not be tolerated. Expressing concern over recent incidents reported from places like Kaushambi, Etawah and Auraiya, he directed officials to identify the culprits and take the strictest action. 'Some disruptive elements had been conspiring to spread caste hatred for some time. Officials should not wait for orders from the govt before taking action in such cases,' he said. The CM said several festivals are to be celebrated from July 11 to Aug 9, including Kanwar Yatra, Shravan Shivratri, Nag Panchami and Raksha Bandhan. In addition to this, Jagannath Rath Yatra is being held from June 27 to July 8 while Muharram is to be observed from June 27 to July 6 or 7. Discussing arrangements for the Kanwar Yatra, he reiterated a rule from the previous year that asked all eateries to mention the name of the owner in the front. With the possibility of disruptive elements joining the yatra in disguise, the CM said all districts should remain vigilant. Yogi reiterated that respecting the religious sentiments of devotees is paramount, but mischievous elements should not be given any opportunity to spoil the environment. 'Sale of meat in the open should not occur on the Kanwar Yatra route. Sanitation, street lighting, drinking water, toilets, and primary medical facilities should be available on the yatra routes. Institutions setting up camps should be verified,' he said. The CM further said: 'Districts bordering Uttarakhand, including Ghaziabad, Meerut, Bareilly, Ayodhya, Prayagraj, Kashi, Barabanki and Basti, should exercise special caution. The sound levels of DJs, drums, and music on the yatra route should adhere to prescribed standards. Deafening noise, provocative slogans and deviations from traditional routes will not be acceptable. The height of DJs used in Tazia, Rath, or Kanwar Yatra should not exceed the prescribed limit. Cutting trees, removing slums, or displacing shelters for the poor for any procession will not be tolerated.' He said display of weapons and the political use of religious symbols in religious processions will not be allowed. Entry of prohibited animals on the routes of processions should be prevented, and social media should be closely monitored, he said adding that surveillance through drones would be carried out and the govt should be quick to rebut false news. During the month of Shravan, there will be a large gathering of devotees at Shiva temples each Monday for which the departments of panchayati raj and urban development have been asked to make adequate preparations. During Muharram, the CM added, the administration and police must learn from previous arrangements and ensure that all programmes are conducted peacefully on traditional routes by ensuring dialogue with peace and organising committees
