Guru Pradosh Vrat

Welcome to onlinenakshatra Podcast! Today, we will discuss all about Guru Pradosh Vrat. This sacred observance, dedicated to Lord Shiva and the planet Jupiter, which is also known as Guru, occurs on the Trayodashi Tithi of Shukla Paksha when it coincides with Thursday. The vrat is observed with great devotion, starting with a fast from sunrise to sunset. During the twilight period, known as Pradosh Kaal, devotees perform the Pradosh Kaal Puja, which includes the Abhishekam of the Shiva Lingam with sacred substances like milk, curd, honey, and water. Offerings of flowers, fruits, and bilva leaves, along with the chanting of mantras such as the Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra, are made to invoke Lord Shiva's blessings. Listening to or reciting the Guru Pradosh Vrat Katha and performing aarti concludes the rituals. Observing this vrat is believed to bestow spiritual growth, prosperity, health, and harmony. The combined energies of Lord Shiva and Jupiter make this vrat especially powerful for overcoming obstacles and achieving success. Thank you for joining us on the Panchangam Podcast. We hope this episode provides you with valuable insights into Guru Pradosh Vrat. Until next time, stay blessed and keep your spiritual journey alive!
