O holy month of Shravan!
Notes:
1. Shravan (Skt: shrAvaNa, श्रावण) is the first month of Chaturmaas.
2. Chaturmaas (Skt: caturmAsa, चतुर्मास) refers to the four month period of rains and consists of the purnimanta months of Shravan, Bhadrapad, Ashvin and Kartik.
3. Mondays of Shravan are considered especially holy for Shiva worship.
4. The name Shravan is derived from Shravana (Skt: shravaNA, श्रवणा), the name of the asterism on which the full moon occurs during this month, and literally means hearing or listening. Hence the word listening has a double meaning here.
The first month of Chaturmaas,
The most auspicious of months,
For Shiva is very close to us during.
O holy month of Shravan!
May your Mondays bring us peace,
May your full moon bring us strength,
For Shiva is very accessible to us during.
O holy month of Shravan!
The first month of heavy rains,
May you bring us prosperity,
For Shiva is always listening to us during.
Aum Namah Shivaya.
