Spiritual Significance
Shravana literally means hearing. Ruled by Lord Vishnu and considered the foremost nakshatra for receptive listening + learning. The entire month of Shravan (July-August) is named after this nakshatra — when Vishnu is believed to descend for spiritual contact. Foundational for shruti tradition (scripture transmitted through hearing).
How to Calculate
Per monthly panchang. Shravana active ~13-26 hours per month. Shravan month entirely sacred to Lord Shiva (Shiva worship), but Shravana nakshatra specifically belongs to Vishnu — interesting cross-tradition overlap.
Modern Application
Vedic schools (Gurukul per R-Q3-P-004) traditionally begin new student admissions during Shravana. Bhaktisetu scripture-listening services (audio Bhagavad Gita, etc.) report higher engagement during Shravana days. Spiritual podcasters launch new shows during Shravana for blessings.
