It is a time of heightened devotion and religious observance: Sherleen Dutt on Shravan month   

Honey Trap Squad actress Sherleen Dutt, says Shravan, the fifth month of the Hindu calendar, holds immense significance for her as a spiritual believer. She said, “This month is considered highly auspicious, dedicated to Lord Shiva, and is a time of heightened devotion and religious observance.”   

“I believe that Shravan is a period for deepening one's spiritual connection, reflecting on life’s purpose, and engaging in acts of devotion and charity. It is a time to cleanse oneself both physically and spiritually, embracing purity and piety,” she added.   She said that this is the time when she feels more connected to the divine and can devote herself to spiritual practices and introspection. “Observing the rituals and traditions associated with Shravan, such as fasting and prayer, brings a sense of peace and fulfillment,” she said.   

“It’s also a time to seek blessings from Lord Shiva, asking for guidance, strength, and the ability to overcome obstacles. The month of Shravan reaffirms my commitment to living a life of virtue, devotion, and self-discipline,” she added.   Sherleen further shared that the values of Shravan, particularly devotion and love, are integral to both her personal and professional lives. “Devotion teaches me dedication and perseverance, which I apply to my work as an actress and content creator. By being devoted to my craft, I ensure that I deliver my best performance in every project,” she said.   “Love, on the other hand, guides my interactions with others, fostering compassion, understanding, and positive relationships. Embracing these values helps me stay grounded, focused, and motivated, allowing me to approach challenges with a calm and positive mindset,” she added.   

Do you have any special rituals or practices that you follow during Shravan? “I observe a few special rituals during Shravan. I fast every Monday of Shravan, which is dedicated to Lord Shiva. This practice not only enhances my spiritual discipline but also helps me cultivate a sense of inner peace and devotion,” she said.   

“Additionally, I strive to keep myself busy helping others and serving the community, reflecting the spirit of Shravan. By dedicating time to selfless service, I aim to embody the values of compassion and charity. I also ensure that I set aside time for prayer and meditation, creating space to connect deeply with Mahadev and seek his blessings,” Sherleen ended.
