The holy month of Sawan began on July 22. This month is auspicious for the devotees of Lord Shiva and Maa Parvati. It marks the onset of the monsoon in India. Celebrated by the Hindu devotees, the worshippers observe a fast on Monday, popularly known as Sawan Somwar. While Mahadev is worshipped on Sawan Monday, the Mangalgauri form of Mata Parvati is worshipped on Sawan Tuesday. It is believed that worshipping Mangala Gauri on this day brings happiness in life. Women receive the blessings of good fortune from Mata Parvati on this day, if they keep fast; while unmarried women are believed to be blessed with their desired groom.
As per Hindu mythology, it is believed that the Mangala Gauri fast was kept by Mata Parvati to win the love of Lord Shiva. Astrologer Acharya Pandit Yogesh Choure from Bhopal claims that keeping Mangala Gauri fast can help cure all the problems in life. Here are some of the benefits which Astrologer Acharya Pandit Yogesh Choure lists for the Hindu devotees.
