Sawan Somwar Vrat 2025: The month of Sawan is considered very sacred for the devotion and worship of Lord Shiva. This month is the fifth month according to the Hindu calendar and is considered very important for Shiva devotees. This year, Sawan has started from July 11 and it will continue till August 9. In this holy month, Shiva devotees keep a special fast on Monday, so that they can get the blessings of Lord Shiva. But many times the fast is broken unknowingly, or some mistake is made. Let us know what should be done in such a situation...

According to religious beliefs, if any mistake is made during the fast, then atonement is necessary for it. Some simple remedies have been given for this in the scriptures, by adopting which not only can one get rid of the fault of the fast, but also get virtuous results.

Apologize
If any mistake is made during the fast, then first of all, one should apologize to Lord Shiva in one's mind. By apologizing with folded hands with a true heart, God shows his mercy and forgives the mistake.

Take a vow to fast again.
If the fast is broken in the first part of the day, then a vow can be taken to keep the fast again on the same day or the next Monday. This is called Prayashchit Vrat.

Chant Mahamrityunjaya Mantra
It is mentioned in the Shiv Purana that if the fast is broken, then the Mahamrityunjaya Mantra should be chanted as much as possible. This mantra is very dear to Shiva, and due to its effect the fault of the fast is reduced.

Donate
If the fast is broken by mistake, then donate according to your capacity to the poor, needy or in any temple. Donating food, clothes, money or worship material gives mental peace and atonement is also complete.
