Importance of Ashadha month

Being an agricultural country, this month is very important for farmers to sow Kharif crops. Lord Vishnu goes into Yog Nidra for four months from 6th July, Ekadashi (Devshayani Ekadashi) of Ashadh Shukla Paksha. This period is called 'Chaturmas'. During this time, auspicious works like marriage, and housewarming are forbidden, but bhajan-kirtan, religious rituals, and penance have special importance. This month is considered to be the best for self-purification, charity, virtue, and penance. The fruits of sadhana and worship done during this time are many times more.

What to do in Ashadh month-

Worship Lord Vishnu especially throughout this month. Do bhakti for his happiness before Devshayani Ekadashi.

Due to the onset of the rainy season, the importance of water increases. In this month, do water conservation and water donation (like setting up a pyau).

Donating food, clothes, and water in this month is considered extremely auspicious. Helping the needy leads to virtue.

Eat light and easily digestible food. Include dal, rice, green vegetables and seasonal fruits in the diet.

Lord Vishnu loves Tulsi very much. Worship Tulsi regularly and offer water to it during this month.
