According to Drik Panchang, in 2024, Sawan begins on July 22 and ends on August 19. This year, Sawan will be observed for 29 days, featuring five Mondays, known as Sawan Somwars.

It is believed that during this time, the cosmic alignment is such that divine energies are more accessible, and prayers reach the divine with greater potency. Devotees undertake various spiritual practices, including fasting, offering prayers, and performing rituals to seek the blessings of Lord Shiva. The observance of Shravan Somwar, or fasting on Mondays, holds special significance as Mondays are considered sacred to Lord Shiva. <h2><keyword id="22484805" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Sawan-Somwar" source="keywords">Sawan Somwar</keyword> Calendar 2024</h2>In 2024, the Sawan month will feature five Mondays, each marking a special occasion for devotees to observe fasts and participate in rituals. Here is the detailed Sawan Somwar calendar: July 22, 2024 - Sawan Begins (First Shravan Somwar vrat) July 29, 2024 - Second Shravan Somwar vrat August 5, 2024 - Third Shravan Somwar vrat August 12, 2024 - Fourth Shravan Somwar vrat August 19, 2024 - Sawan Ends (Last or Fifth Shravan Somwar vrat) <h2>Historical and Mythological Significance of Sawan</h2>The month of Shravan is steeped in mythology and historical significance. According to Hindu scriptures, several important events are believed to have occurred during this month: Samudra Manthan: One of the most famous legends associated with Shravan is the churning of the ocean, or Samudra Manthan, by the Devas and Asuras to obtain Amrit (the nectar of immortality). During this process, a deadly poison called Halahala emerged, which had the potential to destroy the universe. Lord Shiva consumed the poison to save the world, and it turned his throat blue, earning him the name Neelkanth. This act of selflessness is commemorated during the month of Shravan. Marriage of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati: Another significant event celebrated during Shravan is the divine marriage of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. According to mythology, Goddess Parvati undertook severe penance during Shravan to win the love and affection of Lord Shiva. Pleased with her devotion, Lord Shiva accepted her as his consort, and devotees celebrate their union this month. That’s why it is considered very auspicious to undertake fasting every Monday of the month. Kanwar Yatra: The Kanwar Yatra is a significant pilgrimage undertaken by devotees, known as Kanwariyas, who carry water from the holy Ganges River to offer it to Shiva temples. This ritual is performed as an act of devotion and penance. <h2>Rituals practised during Sawan</h2>Devotees observe various rituals and practices during the month of Shravan to seek blessings from Lord Shiva: Fasting: Observing fasts on Sawan Somwars is a common practice. Devotees often consume only water or fruits and avoid consuming grains and cereals. Abhishekam: Performing Abhishekam, or the ceremonial bathing of Shiva Lingam with water, milk, honey, and other sacred substances, is a significant ritual. It is believed that offering Abhishekam pleases Lord Shiva and grants his blessings. Chanting and Prayers: Devotees chant mantras and prayers dedicated to Lord Shiva, such as the Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra and the Shiva Chalisa. Participating in Shiva Aarti (devotional song) is also common. Visiting Shiva Temples: Visiting Shiva temples and offering prayers is an integral part of Shravan observance. Many devotees undertake pilgrimages to prominent Shiva temples during this month. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="104016440" title="Discover the 7 most famous Shiva temples in India you must visit once" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div><h2> </h2><h2>Puja Vidhi</h2>Devotees who are fasting on Sawan Somwar (Sawan Monday) should wake up early, take a bath, and put on clean, new clothes. Afterwards, they should clean their home and the temple or puja room. The worship of the Shivlinga can be done either by visiting a temple or performing the ritual at home. This involves performing Abhishekam (ritual bathing) of the Shivlinga, applying white sandalwood to Lord Shiva, and offering bhang, dhatura, and bilvapatra (leaves). They should then light a ghee lamp or diya, listen to the story about the Sawan Somwar fast, and perform aarti (a devotional song) for Lord Shiva and Maa Parvati. It is important to perform the puja both in the morning and in the evening. <h2>Mantras you chant during Sawan</h2>1.

Sawan 2024: Dates, somwar calendar, significance and rituals practised during Sawan

New Delhi, July 10 (IANSlife) The fifth month of the Hindu calendar is called 'the holy month of Shravan', known to be a conduit for conveying natural and tremendous healing energies by invoking 'Lord Shiva'. This divine and pious month is known to be a sacred month devotionally dedicated to 'Lord Shiva' and depicted as the wielder of power and sovereignty and his consort the 'Goddess Parvati' is 'Shakti' embodying the active dynamic energy of Shiva. Together they bring "creative destruction" -- for the sole purpose of regeneration, transmutation and spiritual transformation. As per the mythology, the auspicious act of 'Samudra Manthan' - war between Gods and demons took place in this holy month which emphasized upon the importance of Lord Shiva consuming the poison from the churning of the ocean to save the entire mankind from evil destruction; and stored it in his throat. Taking this story as an epitome of relaxing mankind from the high malefic effect, during this month appeasing the 'Shivling' symbol of 'Lord Shiva' which radiates immense energy, one can salvage and rescue themselves from the deadly curses and complexities of life. Worshipping Lord Shiva not only brings in a concrete support within one to tackle their battles but also helps to liberate them from the miseries in life. This month is an ideal time to grow tranquility, good health and get Divine blessings by performing austerities. According to the Hindu ancient culture, the Shravan constellation is visible in the sky; hence the name is appropriate for the month. This month is consecrated with the phenomenal energies of 'Lord Shiva' as the cosmic energies are spontaneously supercharged with Shiv tattva (Shiva elements) which can help master the art of consciousness by purifying one's mind, body, spirit and the environment we live in. It is essential to rejuvenate our home during 'Shravan' - Shravan symbolizes "purity, consciousness and knowledge". Practicing rejuvenating rituals during shravan in our life is the gateway to immense purity, abundance and provides relief from reverberating negative energies within ourselves and in our environment. Hence, one must definitely keep the house neat and clean to remove negative energies accumulated in the form of dust. It is believed that "Goddess Lakshmi" prefers to reside in a house that has kept clean, not just physically but energetically also. During the time of pandemic, wholesalers and florists had to close their doors and people avoided to buy flowers and other pooja samagri; however, worship does not mean just rituals or is limited to rituals, people can do these 9 holistic rituals to rejuvenate their home. Materials which are mentioned are available online. Many online store retailers that had to quickly build a fast delivery connect amid the crisis. "Smudging with Sage" - It has been one of the oldest rituals for energetic cleansing of a space or someone's aura. You can choose a Monday every week to smudge the entire house with Sage or any other herb or holy wood like Palo Santo. "Wind Chimes or Tibetian Singing Bowl" - Sound vibrations are a powerful way to clear the energy of a room and raise its energetic vibration. Healing sounds can break apart dense or heavy energy that is lowering the energy in your home. With the lovely winds in Shravan month, make use of wind chimes to bring in beautiful sounds in your home. You can also use a singing bowl to create a healing effect with gentle vibrations that can be felt on both a physical and spiritual level. "RAKUNA Zibu symbol" - To help eliminate any kind of negativity from the space. Just draw it by hand on a post-it note &amp; stick in every room. "Healing Crystals" - Gridding your home using black tourmaline crystals is also a great option to protect yourself from any external negative energies. Since unmarried girls fast for having a good husband during this period, healing loving energies of Rose Quartz can also be harnessed. This crystal also helps in finding a good partner. "Using Diffusers" - Using a diffuser with sandalwood essential oil and camphor is also a beautiful experience given that sandalwood is so closely associated with the Shravan Shiv pooja rituals. Ash Gourd - On New Moon days, it is a widespread practice to worship an Ash Gourd and then hang it at the entrance of the home. New Moon energy is helpful to start something fresh &amp; make intentions for the future. And Ash Gourd has immense Praan Shakti and it absorbs any negative energy from entering your home. "Incenses" - Pooja rituals are common during Shravan month. Burning a natural incense is helpful in clearing out the negative energies. Make sure the incense you are burning is natural &amp; not chemically treated. Also incense sticks made of bamboo sticks are not good to burn. Burning bamboo releases bad gases. Best is to burn natural cow dung dhoop or battis for purification &amp; an aromatic experience. "Sea Salt" - Place sea salt in all corners of the room in a container or on the floor. Let it absorb the negativity for 1-2 days &amp; then trash that salt away. Salt is a natural cleanser.

9 Tips to Rejuvenate your home during Shravan

Rohan Shravan was 24 years old when he founded Notion Ink, a <keyword id="138263" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="startup">startup</keyword> that designed India’s first tablet computer Adam. The device was launched five months before Apple placed the first version of the iPad on store shelves. 
 
At its international debut in the Consumer Electronics Show at Las Vegas in January 2010, one of the first to place an order for Adam was an employee at Apple headquarters in Cupertino. However, in the ensuing months as the iPad gained iconic status, Adam dropped by the wayside, felled by the lack of risk capital to grow the business. 
 “When I told venture capitalists that our product will be a challenger to <keyword id="10591" type="CITY" weightage="40" keywordseo="Samsung">Samsung</keyword> and Apple, they laughed at me,” said Shravan, a mechanical engineer from the Indian Institute of Technology in Kharagpur who initially bootstrapped the firm with personal savings of around Rs 6 lakh. 
 
Shravan’s experience is hardly unique. In the midst of an unprecedented entrepreneurial boom, several of those starting up say there are more hurdles than advantages in the Indian startup sector. Apart from the red tape and the lack of policy support there is also a shortage of true risk capital that can back edgy new ideas. 
 
Customers are unwilling to pay for untested products and many entrepreneurs choose the middle path fearing failure. “I was very aggressive, arrogant and fought like a warrior, the so-called experts advised me to tone down and be nice, which led to our downfall,” said Shravan who trained engineering students to work on Adam as a way to minimise staff costs. “Around 80 per cent of the employees were final year students; they were later snatched by Samsung and Motorola.” 
 
In recent years, several ventures including short messaging service GupShup, personalised news service Frrole and language keypad maker Luna Ergonomics have altered business models when faced with regulatory hurdles or the fear of rejection from investors and customers. 
 This at a time when many global technology companies including WhatsApp, <keyword id="6354576" type="CITY" weightage="40" keywordseo="Facebook">Facebook</keyword>, caller identification service Truecaller, home rental marketplace Airbnb, and question and answer site Quora count India as one of their fastest growing markets. 
 
Nearly 40 million of WhatsApp’s global user base of 450 million is in India. “India is our largest market with about 30 million users and continues to demonstrate great opportunities for us,” said Nami Zarringhalam, cofounder of Sweden’s Truecaller. When Amarpreet Kalkat started his company Frrole in 2011, he wanted to build a product that was tailored to a user’s area of interest. 
 
“I believed it could rival Google News,” said the 35-year-old entrepreneur. Eight months later, Kalkat started looking for funds and he had to answer the dreaded question, over and over again: “How do you make money?” Two years of running the company without external funding almost made him bankrupt. Kalkat was forced to start a new by changing his model to an enterprise product. 
 
At about the same time when Frrole was launched in Silicon Valley, a text and photo sharing app called Snapchat was born. It received $60 million (Rs 361 crore) in initial funding and was handling 150 million photos every day. 
 
Last year, the company rejected a $3 billion (Rs 18,000 crore) buyout deal from Facebook. “There is a very high chance that Frrole would still have been a social newspaper, if we were based in Silicon Valley,” said Kalkat whose company now has a dozen of enterprise customers. 
 
Parag Dhol, managing director at Inventus Capital Partners, said he has some sympathy with the entrepreneurs’ point of view. “But let me throw the question back at them—let us find at least one product from India where there are at least 100 million users,” said the investor who has backed firms such as Savaari Car Rentals, online bus ticketing site redBus and technology company TELibrahma. 
 
<div style="page-break-after: always;">
	&#xa0;</div>
Angel investor Sharad Sharma, who pushed Kalkat to alter his business model, is of the view that in Silicon Valley entrepreneurs can afford to not have a paying business. “Because they have the confidence that they will get bought over, here there is no such scene. It’s all about viability of the business,” said Sharma who participated in a $245,000 angel (Rs 1.4 crore) funding round in Frrole this April. 
India has a far worse ratio of venture capital exits as compared to Israel and the US, according to data compiled by think tank iSpirt and investment bank Signal Hill. Few large companies are interested in buying out startups or using their products, impeding growth of local companies. 
 
“We had all the ingredients to become a large global company,” says Abhijit Bhattacharjee, 43-year-old founder of Luna Ergonomics, the maker of the Indian language keypad Panini. 
 
Named after an ancient Sanskrit grammarian, the technology makes it possible to type quickly and easily in all Indian languages on the mobile phone. The company which has received patents for its Korean language interface did not find takers amongst Indian telecom companies. 
 
“Supporting Indian scripts on digital devices does not suit the strengths and roadmaps of these companies,” said Bhattacharjee, whose company last released an Urdu keypad for iOS, Android, and PC in 2013. “Which large enterprise buys cutting edge technology from startups? When there are not early customers, how can you expect to have $1 billion companies?” asked Ashish Gupta, a senior managing director at Helion Venture Partners that backed group text messaging service GupShup. 
 
The Mumbai-based firm was launched just six months after microblogging site Twitter was launched in the US in July 2006. Within a year of inception the service had racked up 15 million users. 
 GupShup was a free, social, short messaging service that allowed users to communicate and connect with family, <keyword id="343" type="ENTERTAINMENT" weightage="40" keywordseo="Friends">friends</keyword> and followers using ordinary mobile handsets. But the telecom ecosystem and policies were a problem. 
 
“The regulations did not allow advertising. The operators kept the short messaging service rates high,” said Beerud Sheth, cofounder of Webaroo maker of GupShup product. The company had to shift focus from retail consumers and instead offer the messaging platform for enterprises. 
 
“They (government) should invest money in big ideas. They need to stop protecting big industries and start encouraging disruption and risk taking,” said Rahul Sood, partner at Microsoft Ventures and a technology entrepreneur, who sold the luxury computer business VodooPC to Hewlett Packard in 2006. 
 
Compare this to China, where the startup ecosystem is accelerating faster than anywhere in the world. There are around 1300 incubators and accelerators across the country compared with about 35 active accelerators in India. Shravan of Notion Ink has not lost hope yet. 
 
The entrepreneur is placing another bet. This time a personal computing robot called EVE, which he thinks will disrupt the market and will be in the market by 2017. “I will be jealous of my kids, they will be enjoying the rewards our hard work and same is true for the next generation of entrepreneurs,” he said.

New Delhi, May 7 () Roche Diagnostics India on Thursday said it has received import licence from the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO) for its Elecsys Anti-SARS-CoV-2 test kit and is readying to bring it to India. The import licence has been issued by the drug regulator due to the emergency health situation in public interest, Roche Diagnostics India said in a statement. "From bringing the globally used tests to the country in record time to establishing the disease control measures by creating COVID-19 diagnostic hubs..., the Indian government and the state governments have been collaborating with various sections of the healthcare system to manage the situation," Roche Diagnostics India MD Shravan Subramanyam said. Laboratory-based immunodiagnostic testing will complement the existing reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) solutions to possibly ascertain coronavirus-related immunity among patients and all those who want to 'go back to work' to bring the health and economic activity back to normalcy, he added. The test can support priority screening of high-risk groups, such as healthcare workers, delivery service providers, or food supply workers who might already have been exposed and developed an immune response, the statement said.

In every other year of the past decade, men claimed a greater share of new tech jobs, according to an analysis conducted by technology and engineering career hub <a href="http://www.dice.com/" target="_blank">Dice</a>.
It's a small step but also a promising sign for women in tech. On the whole, female employees still hold just 31% of jobs in the industry, a figure that has changed little over the last 10 years. Women also continue to lag men in compensation. In computer and information systems roles, for example, women working full time make only about 80 cents for every dollar earned by men.
While it's unclear exactly why we're seeing this shift, a possible factor is the new wave of female tech stars - Yahoo CEO and ex-Googler Marissa Mayer, Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg, and IBM CEO Ginni Rometty, to name a few. Mayer has previously <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/pet-peeves-of-successful-people-2013-11#marissa-mayer-wishes-tech-were-more-welcoming-to-women-6" target="_blank">expressed frustration</a> with the lack of women in computer science, saying she'd like to see the industry be "more encouraging and open to having women contribute to software in more significant numbers."

New Delhi, Mar 28 () Advanced Medical Technology Association (AdvaMed) on Saturday said it is committed to work with the Indian government to ensure there is no disruption in global supply chain in the fight against COVID-19 pandemic.As India gears up to battle the coronavirus pandemic, the global medical technology industry is on the front line, mobilizing at never-before-seen levels, to help win this fight, AdvMed said in a statement."Our global network of experts is committed to support and work constructively with the government to ensure that there is no disruption in the global supply chain considering the dire need for technology to win this fight against Covid-19," AdvaMed Vice President Abby Pratt said.As an association, AdvaMed will continue to work with the Indian government to help improve the status quo in light of the pandemic that will not only ensure quality healthcare of Indian patients but also encourage robust innovation landscape for companies that promote life-saving and life-improving treatments and cures in times of such a crisis situation, he added."Rapid scaling up of the availability of screening and diagnostic tests in more centres across India is key to manage the reported increase in the number of Covid-19 cases across India," Roche Diagnostics India Pvt Ltd MD Shravan Subramanyam said.Addition of state government-run labs to the existing network could be an effective first step in the direction, he added."The government can establish scale for the Covid-19 screening and diagnostic network through existing private lab infrastructure, while diagnostic service providers can provide the technology for such testing," Subramanyam said.Private labs partnership in the scaling up process allows for their existing countrywide infrastructure to be leveraged to address a potentially mass testing requirement, he added.Emphasising the need for clear communication, BD-India/South Asia MD Pavan Mocherla said: "At a time like this, it is imperative to have a clear and consistent communication between the central authorities and the local bodies to ensure seamless and effective implementation of lockdown while preserving the supply chain for essential services in battling the COVID-19 crisis".

Voting in 94 of the total 243 Assembly seats in Bihar will be held on November 3 during the second phase of state elections in which over 2.85 crore voters will decide the fate of 1,463 candidates in fray. As many as 41,362 polling stations have been set up across 17 districts, all of which except Patna, Bhagalpur, and Nalanda are situated north of the Ganges. Maharajganj seat has a maximum of 27 candidates in the electoral battle and Daraula with only four in the second round of Assembly polls. Prominent contestants in the fray include Rashtriya Janata Dal leader and Grand Alliance's chief ministerial candidate Tejashwi Yadav who is recontesting the Raghopur seat and his brother Tej Pratap in the fray in Hassanpur seat in Samastipur district. Other prominent faces in the fray in the second phase are RJD leaders Alok Kumar Mehta from Ujiyarpur and Shailesh Kumar from Bihpur, former parliamentarian Anand Mohan's son Chetan Anand from Sheohar, former parliamentarian Rama Singh's wife Beena Singh from Mahnar, and Congress leader Shatrughan Sinha's son Luv from Bankipur. Plurals Party leader Pushpam Priya Choudhary is also in the fray in Bankipur, apart from BJP's Nitin Naveen. Ministers Nandkishore Yadav, Randhir Singh, and Shravan Kumar are also in the fray from Patna Sahib, Madhuban and Nalanda segments. The prestige of 27 MLAs of the Grand Alliance is at stake. The RJD has fielded 56 candidates in the second phase of elections, wherein it is in direct contest with the BJP on 27 seats and with the ally turned foe JD-U on 25 seats. The BJP is contesting 46 seats and the JD-U 43 seats. The Congress is contesting 24 seats, CPI and CPM four each, Lok Janshakti Party 52 and RLSP 36 seats. In the 2015 elections, the Rashtriya Janata Dal of Lalu Prasad had bagged 33 of these seats, the JD-U 30 and the Congress seven whereas the NDA had won only 22 seats. However, a lot of water has since flown down the rivers ever since. New political permutations and combinations have come into play in 2020 as compared with the 2015 polls. Five years ago, Nitish Kumar's JD-U fought the elections in alliance with the RJD and the Congress, whereas the NDA had Ram Vilas Paswan's Lok Janshakti Party and Rashtriya Lok Samta Party (RLSP) in its camp. In this poll fray, the JD-U has moved to the NDA camp, the LJP is fighting its own battle and the RLSP is a part of the Grand Democratic Secular Front. Elections for the 243-seat Bihar Assembly are set to be held in three phases, out of which polling in the first phase was conducted on October 28. After the November 3 voting for 94 seats, remaining 78 constituencies will go to polls on November 7. The counting of votes is slated for November 10.
