Dr. Taara Malhotra on the Spiritual Significance of Sawan: A Month of Inner Awakening and Divine Connection
Renowned spiritual healer, astrologer and energy coach Dr. Taara Malhotra often speaks about aligning life with the rhythms of the universe and few times of the year hold as much energetic and divine significance as Sawan (Shravan) month. Deeply rooted in devotion, transformation and introspection, the month of Sawan is dedicated to Lord Shiva, the cosmic force of destruction and regeneration. In Taara Malhotra’s words, “Sawan is not just a month in the calendar… it’s an invitation from the divine to pause, purify and realign.”
The Energy Shift in Sawan
Dr. Taara explains that during Sawan, which usually falls between July and August, the Earth experiences a profound energetic shift. The monsoon showers not only nourish the soil but also act as a cleansing force for the soul. “This is a time when the cosmic vibrations are naturally high and our ability to connect with the spiritual realm becomes sharper,” says Taara. It’s no coincidence that this month is filled with rituals, fasts, mantra chanting and temple visits.
According to her, the Monday fasts of Sawan (Sawan Somvar) hold immense spiritual importance. Devotees of Lord Shiva observe these fasts to seek his blessings, inner peace and liberation from past karmic cycles. Taara adds, “When done with faith and awareness, these fasts are not just about abstaining from food; they are about mastering one’s desires and turning inwards.”
The Inner Journey Begins
A key aspect Taara Malhotra highlights is the opportunity Sawan provides for inner healing. With her deep understanding of energies, chakras and karmic patterns, she sees this month as the perfect window to work on releasing negative energy, healing emotional wounds and letting go of past baggage.
“Many people come to me during this time feeling overwhelmed or blocked,” she shares. “I always guide them to use Sawan to reconnect with their higher self. Meditations, water rituals, Rudraksha practices, and chanting of Shiva mantras like Om Namah Shivaya or Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra can bring powerful shifts in one’s aura and consciousness.”
She also recommends cleansing rituals using elements like water, camphor and Himalayan salt, which align well with the purifying energy of this month.
Divine Feminine and Sawan
Interestingly, Taara also brings attention to the balance of Shiva and Shakti energies during Sawan. While the month celebrates Lord Shiva, Taara often encourages her followers to recognize the role of Divine Feminine energy “the Shakti” especially for women walking the spiritual path. “This is a great time for women to tap into their intuition, strengthen their inner voice and embrace their spiritual power. Shiva is the ultimate yogi and Shakti is his dynamic force; both are needed for true awakening.”
She encourages women to practice moon meditations, journaling and chanting during this month to align with their own emotional and spiritual cycles.
Rituals with Awareness
With the rise of social media spirituality, Taara emphasizes doing rituals with the right intention and awareness. “Pouring milk on a Shiva Lingam means nothing if you’re not pouring love and devotion from your heart. Rituals must be expressions of your inner vibration, not just mechanical acts.”
She encourages devotees to personalize their spiritual practices, even if it’s something as simple as lighting a Diya, offering a Bel patra, or meditating at dawn. “Spirituality is not about how big your ritual is. It’s about how present you are in that moment.”
Sawan as a Catalyst for Transformation
In her workshops and LIVE sessions, Dr. Taara often shares how Sawan has been a catalyst for personal transformation for many of her followers. “People have found clarity in relationships, released years of trauma and even found new purpose in life during this month. The energies truly support letting go of what no longer serves and stepping into your higher path.” As she beautifully says, “In the sacred silence of Sawan, the soul hears the whispers of the divine. If you’re willing to listen, transformation is not only possible… it’s inevitable.”
If you’re seeking deeper spiritual clarity, emotional healing, or want to align your energies during this sacred month, you can connect with Dr. Taara Malhotra for personal guidance, workshops or one-on-one sessions specially curated for the powerful energies of Sawan.
