Mumbai: In Hinduism, the month of Sawan (Shravan) is believed to be especially dear to Lord Shiva. It is said that even a simple offering of water on a Shivling during this sacred period can bring immense blessings. Devotees fast, pray, and perform rituals throughout the month, hoping to attract the Lord’s divine grace and protection.
According to Vastu Shastra, certain items in your home can block positive energy, invite financial troubles, or cause family discord and health issues. With Sawan starting on July 11, 2025, experts recommend removing these inauspicious objects beforehand to ensure your space is spiritually aligned and open to Shiva’s blessings.
1. Broken Idols and Torn Religious Photos
As per Vastu, damaged or broken idols of deities should never be kept in the home. They are believed to attract negative energy and obstruct the spiritual benefits of prayer. Ahead of Sawan, discard such items respectfully — either by immersing them in flowing water or placing them at a sacred site.
2. Stopped Clocks and Faulty Electronics
Non-working clocks and broken electronic items are seen as symbols of stagnation and negativity. Their presence can block growth and prosperity in the household. Before Sawan begins, ensure these are either repaired or removed from your home entirely.
3. Dry or Thorny Plants
Wilted or thorny plants are considered Vastu dosh (flaws in spatial energy) and are said to cause mental stress, arguments, and financial strain. Replace them with spiritually beneficial greenery like Tulsi (holy basil), Bela, or Madar during Sawan for peace and positivity.
4. Tattered Clothes and Bedsheets
Old, torn clothes and bedsheets are said to repel divine blessings. If you’re hoping to gain Lord Shiva’s grace this Sawan, it’s important to clear out worn-out garments and replace them with clean, fresh alternatives.
5. Improperly Placed Broom
In Hindu beliefs, the broom symbolises Goddess Lakshmi — the deity of wealth. Keeping it in the wrong spot may bring Vastu dosh. During Sawan, always store the broom discreetly in the southwest corner of the house to maintain spiritual and financial harmony.
