Bhadrapada Pradosh Vrat 2025: In Sanatan Dharma, the day of Pradosh Vrat is considered highly auspicious for seeking the blessings of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. According to the Vedic Panchang, the first Pradosh Vrat of the Bhadrapada month will be observed on August 20, 2025. Devotees believe that observing this vrat brings prosperity, removes obstacles, and ensures peace and happiness in life.
Spiritual Significance of Pradosh Vrat
Pradosh Vrat is traditionally observed on the Trayodashi Tithi (13th lunar day) of both Shukla and Krishna Paksha. The vrat is dedicated to worshipping Lord Shiva during the twilight period (Pradosh Kaal). As per Hindu scriptures, performing rituals on this day can eliminate past sins, ensure longevity, and invite divine grace.
What to Offer on the Shivling
If you wish to please Lord Shiva on Pradosh Vrat, it is recommended to perform a special abhishek (ritual bathing) of the Shivling after taking a morning bath.
- Water and Ghee: Pouring water and ghee on the Shivling is believed to please Lord Shiva and help in completing pending tasks.
- Milk, Curd, and Honey: Performing abhishek with these ingredients attracts positive energy, prosperity, and harmony.
- Desi Ghee Lamp: After the abhishek, light a desi ghee lamp, perform aarti, and chant Shiva mantras for maximum benefits.
As per traditional belief, following these rituals during Pradosh Vrat can lead to the fulfillment of wishes and an abundance of happiness.
