June 2025 Pradosh Vrat: Dates, Shubh Muhurat & Must-Do Rituals for Divine Blessings

In the Sanatangyan tradition, Pradosh Vrat is a very important and special Hindu ritual. It is observed on the 13th day of every lunar month, during both the waning and waxing phases of the moon. This fast is dedicated to Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati.

Pradosh Vrat is one of the most sacred and important rituals in Hinduism. It is observed on the 13th day of each lunar month. This happens during both the waning moon (Krishna Paksha) and the waxing moon (Shukla Paksha). The vrat is deeply connected to the Sanatangyan tradition. People believe that observing Pradosh Vrat brings divine blessings, peace, and spiritual growth. It is especially important for devotees of Lord Shiva.

What is Pradosh Vrat?

In the Sanatangyan belief system, Pradosh Vrat is not merely a ritual—it is a gateway to divine grace. Pradosh Vrat is dedicated to Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. It is observed during the evening twilight, which is the most sacred time on the 13th day. Devotees fast and perform special prayers to Lord Shiva during this time. They do this to seek help with their sins, health problems, and mental worries.

The word "Pradosh" means "dusk" or "evening." That’s why this fast is usually done during the twilight hours. People who fast with true devotion are believed to receive many blessings from Lord Shiva.

June 2025 Pradosh Vrat Dates & Shubh Muhurat

This Pradosh Vrat happens on a Sunday, so it is called Ravi Pradosh Vrat. According to Sanatangyan beliefs, this fast helps remove Pitra Dosh, which means ancestral karmic debts.

This Pradosh falls on a Monday and is called Som Pradosh Vrat. It is considered very lucky for worshiping Lord Shiva. People believe it brings mental clarity and happiness in marriage. It also helps bring peace and harmony in family life. In Sanatangyan astrology, this fast is especially recommended for those who have a weak Moon in their horoscope.

Rituals to Follow on Pradosh Vrat

As with all important religious events, observing Pradosh Vrat involves a day of fasting, concentrating on vaishnav dharm, and devotional prayer. The following are the s m'most parts of the sathkaras:

• Fasting: Most devotees fast strictly or partially during the day. They eat only fruits or drink water.

• Puja Vidhi: In the evening, bael leaves and milk, flowers, and ghee lamps are offered to Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati.

• Chanting & Meditation: Devotees also have to say the mantras of "Om Namah Shivaya" and other Shiva mantras for blessings.

In the Sanatangyan tradition, it is common to visit Shiva temples during this vrat. Devotees offer jalabhishek, which means pouring water on the Shiva Lingam, as part of the ritual.
