Why are goddess Parvati and lord shiv fond of Shravan month

 The month of Shravan is an auspicious month of the Vaidic calendar. It usually comes in the months of July and August. Sacred Rudra Puja (Rudrabhishek) is also performed in the month of Shravan, to facilitate our inward journey. “Earth is sprinkled with shower in the month of Shravan, when millions turn to Shiva; the ultimate Truth and beauty. Adoring the Shiva tattva in the month of Shravan washes away all negativity and bestows abundance.”

- Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

In Bhanu didi ‘s words  : 

“Shravan means ‘to listen’ in Sanskrit. It is the first step in integrating knowledge into our lives. We listen (Shravana), then we bring to our memory repeatedly (manana) and then the knowledge becomes integrated as a wealth into our life (nidhidhyasa).

This month is a time to listen to our elders, listen to wisdom, to be in knowledge. Parvati did puja to Shiva during this month. She did tapas in order to attain Shiva. This month is the time to go inward and meet the Shiva tattva (Shiva principle) within us.

Parvati is a manifestation of Shakti. Shakti means strength, power and energy. Shakti is the womb for all creation and is therefore expressed as the mother aspect of the Divine. Shakti is the seed for all dynamism, radiance, beauty, equanimity, peace and nourishment. …. The stillness and calmness is Shiva. Both are necessary. When dynamic expression is combined with stillness within, then there is creativity, positivity, and Sattva is generated.

 Shravan maas is that nivruti kala, where even Shakti goes inward. The restlessness of the soul is quenched by this tapas.

Shiva is the Adipati of celebration with purity of mind, intention, thought, feeling, speech, and action. Eternal celebration is the representation of Parvati. Eternal peace is Shiva…When you go inward, when you are established in yourself, celebration happens around you. That is why this month is full of festivals. Sri Sri says Life is love, joy and enthusiasm. Love and joy without enthusiasm is still inert. The enthusiasm is Parvati. Shiva is the tranquil stillness. When the celebratory aspect is combined with love, joy and wisdom then that is the peak of life.”
