This time is devoted to lord Shiva and people take due care to observe this time with a lot of devotion. As Sawan 2024 is near, have a look at a few dos and don’ts to follow during Sawan fasts.

Do’s

Perform purification rituals: There is a need to perform a purification process before one can embark on fasting. This involves taking a holy bath or even general washing of the body plus the washing of the soul. This will prepare you spiritually for the fast.

Adhere to the timings: One begins to fast from sunrise to sunset, which consists of special manners and prayers. Some of the metrics encompass the time and they depend on local cultures, sunrise and sunset.

Eat Satvik foods: If you take food during fasting, it should be Satvik, which means that you should avoid the intake of onions, garlic, and other banned products. Fruits, nuts, milk, and yogurt are allowed in your diet.

Offer regular prayers: Spare some time and do prayers or chant some mantras that are dedicated to the god Shiva. Chanting of prayers, especially “Om Namah Shivaya” is also favorable at this time.

Keep your mind focused: Thus, after fasting, conscience and meditation are also observed as forms of worship. Pray and be encouraged all the time.

Maintain cleanliness: Hygiene is important when it comes to personal matters. Sanitize your body and place of worship daily. This is an indication of the regard and adoration they have for God.

Don’ts

Don’t overexert yourself: Avoid difficult activities or physical effort during fast. Your focus should be on spiritual activities rather than physical strain.

Avoid negativity: The main purpose of your fasting is to purify your mind and soul, so maintaining a peaceful nature is important.

Refrain from eating out: Try to avoid eating outside or consume food prepared by others, as it might not stick to the Satvik principles.
