Relation of worshiping Lord shiva in the Month of Shravana:

Samudra Manthan (Churning of Ocean) is very important story in Hindu puranas related to Shravana.  As per Hindu Mythology, In the search of Amrit, Devas and Asuras performed the Samudra Manthan (Churning of Ocean) during the Month of Shravana. 14 gems were collected from this Samudra Manthan (Churning of Ocean). 13 gems were distributed amongst Devas and asuras but 14th gem was Halahal and no one was ready to take it. Halahal is very dangerous and deadliest poison which contains the power to destroy entire Universe and no asuras or devas had power to control it. In this situation Lord Shiva drank this halahal and saved the universe.
