Sawan Shivratri 2025: All-Day Jalabhishek and Four Rare Rajyogs Make This Year Divine
This year Sawan Shivratri 2025 is bringing something rare and powerful. Devotees of Lord Shiva are in for a very special day as not one or two but four rare planetary yogs will align on this sacred occasion. Along with that comes the blessing of a full-day window to perform Jalabhishek which is considered the most powerful act of devotion during this holy month.
Sawan Shivratri 2025: When to Perform Jalabhishek This Shivratri
According to the Hindu calendar the sacred Chaturdashi tithi will begin early on 23 July at 4:39 in the morning and end the next day 24 July at 2:28 in the night. That means from the very start of the day devotees can begin the Jal offering rituals.
There is Bhadra in the morning but it falls in Gemini and in the heavenly Swarg Lok so it is not seen as inauspicious. Devotees are allowed to do Jalabhishek without any fear throughout the day. This is a rare and open chance to connect deeply with Lord Shiva.
Four Rajyogs Add Rare Strength to This Day
What makes this year even more powerful is the formation of four rare yogs on the same day:
- Gajkesari Yog forms when Jupiter and Moon are placed in central positions in the chart
- Budhaditya Yog appears when Sun and Mercury stay in the same zodiac sign
- Lakshmi Narayan Yog forms when Venus joins Mercury in one sign
- Sarvartha Siddhi Yog is believed to bring overall success in any work
These yogs rarely occur together so their presence on Sawan Shivratri 2025 adds strong spiritual and astrological value to the entire day.
Best Timings to Offer Jal to Lord Shiva
Here are the most auspicious times you can perform Jalabhishek on this divine day:
- From 6:12 to 7:50 in the morning for gain
- From 7:50 to 9:29 in the morning for best results
- From 11:07 to 12:45 in the afternoon for good fortune
- From 4:01 to 5:39 in the evening as neutral
- From 5:39 to 7:18 in the evening for progress
Anyone offering water or milk or Gangajal during these hours is believed to receive full blessings from Lord Shiva.
A Day to Open Your Heart to Lord Shiva
Sawan Shivratri is not just a religious festival but a time to let go of pain or ego and return to the heart of devotion. This year with all the rare yogs and full-day freedom to perform rituals it becomes a powerful spiritual window. So whether you plan to fast or visit a temple or just light a diya at home do it with faith and love. Lord Shiva listens to the one who calls him with honesty.
