Today is श्रावणी सोमवार (Shravan Somwar). As per tradition today everyone offers milk to Lord Shiva. Often leftist make fun our tradition, saying that we waste so much milk & instead it can fill hungry stomach. So decided to write a small thread to give clarity on issue

It is widely believed in the month of Shravan, we should avoid anything which is grown on ground. The simple reason that during the monsoon, lot of worms & other insects are found on the ground & they contaminate freshly grown crops. Hence avoid consumption of such food items

Similarly, cows graze on grass, which also have several worms & insects & milk coming out of such grass is again harmful for our health. So such milk is considered as poison for long term health of human being. So what can we do about poison?

Shiva is famously known as Nilkanth

Nilkanth because he had consumed the poison which came out of churning of the ocean. So Shiva can consume poison which a human being can't. So milk during the month of Shravan is not consumed but rather offered to Lord Shiva.

This is the whole science behind this Hindu tradition

However, there is one more reason why Lord Shiva is offered milk. I will write a detailed thread on that topic some other day, but to keep it short that Lord Shiva also controls the radiation of the earth crust, which keeps surface of earth cool. Milk helps controlling radiation.

Hinduism is a religion of science & each tradition has its own scientific meaning. What Hinduism says abt Shravan, even the modern science can't go this deep. Though today we all consume milk in the month of Shravan & our ancient practices are lost, we can try to reinstate some

Also, milk we get in India is more pure than West. So there can be another thread on this topic.

Be proud of our traditions, if you have questions, try to dig answers rather than challenging those questions. Hinduism looks magical once you discover those answers

हर हर महादेव 🙏🏼
