🔸️Shravan(શ્રાવણ માસ): The fifth month of the Hindu calendar and people get extremely religious, as it’s considered to be a very auspicious month
Lord Shiva is worshipped to be pleased fullest in this month.
🔸️Ayurveda & Shravan month:
The Ayurveda aspect of Shravan – Monsoon is a time when nature is cleansed by the burst of clouds from sky in the form of rains.
➡️During Monsoon time in the atmosphere as well in our body Vata dosha(air) is aggravated and Our Digestive Fire(Agni) gets weaken. that leads to slow metabolism and deposition of Kapha in the body. In all the body gets weaker and strongly prone to diseases
So aim Behind for us to maintain our health we need to keep our dosha and Agni in Balance.
➡️During Shravan we used to take below diet and follow some of the restrictions
•No Meat(Nonveg), eggs,
•No Garlic onion
•One meal a Day(OMAD)
•Fruits
•Farali Upvas day.
➡️Fasting or eating less helps in living more if done properly during this month. The main aim of fasting is to detoxify the body and learn self-control. So the diet to be followed should be such that it is easy on metabolism and making the body more healthy and energetic.
➡️The vata not only gets aggravated in the body but also affects the mind. 🧘♀️Spirituality is a means to control the unstable mind to achieve mental and physical balance. And hence the bringing of festivities came into existence in this month, to get people to be social in celebration and religious in their acts of eating and living. To bring harmony in body and mind even with aggravated Vata around. At least we can say that the fear of god gets one to act wisely.
Always Believes behind Our culture, traditions, and rituals have significance science.
