Spiritual Significance of Shravan Month

• Shravan is a very special and particular month
  for Hindus. There are various important festivals
  that take place during the month of Shravan. In
  addition, Shravan is the month of Shiva. The
  whole month is an occasion for the celebration of
  Shiva devotees. The days of Shravan on Mondays
  are more important, in the Hindu calendar. All
  temples of Shiva are mostly visited by devotees
  from across the world during this month.
• A lot of people observe a fast for the entire
  month or can say follow a strict vegetarian diet.
  There are those who observe a fast on Mondays to
  honor Lord Shiva or on Tuesdays to honor Mata
  Parvati. It is believed that women looking for an
  ideal husband should fast on Mondays during
  Shravan. Mata Parvati did this too before she
  could impress Shiva.

Spiritual Significance of Shravan Month

• According to an ancient tradition that observing
  a fast on a Monday, in Shravan, is believed to
  bring prosperity to the world. Also, it is
  believed to be Lord Shiva's favorite day. When a
  person observes the fast they will be blessed
  with the joy of the world and their wishes are
  fulfilled. Offering fruits and money during this
  time at any Jyotirlinga is believed to be
  beneficial.
• If we think scientifically the fasting can make a
  lot of sense. Shravan can be described as the
  month in which the monsoon is at its highest. At
  this time the digestive system gets fragile and
  the number of microbes increase in the
  surrounding. Poor eating habits can cause
  illnesses, which is why it's recommended to fast
  during this time.
