Guest guest Posted May 26, 2003 Report Share Posted May 26, 2003 Dear Sir, I may be permitted to say a word in praise.Your explanation is simply fine and apt.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2003 Report Share Posted May 26, 2003 Om Gurave Namah Dear Vinod, This is what I know about the Pradosh vrata,incase I am wrong on something gurus please correct me. The Pradosha worship is to be done in the evening ,twilight on the thirteenth day of each lunar fortnight. It is the worship of Lord Siva for victory and success in all undertakings, and the fulfilment of all desires.Pradosha is the worship of Lord Siva and Parvati when they both are in an extremely propitious mood. The Skanda Purana relates how Sandilya Muni prescribed this Vrata to a certain Brahmin lady. She came to the sage with two boys, her son, Suchivrata, and an orphan prince, Dharmagupta, whose father was slain in battle and the kingdom overrun by enemies. Acting upon the advice of the sage, the woman and the boys performed the Vrata with great devotion. After four months,Suchivrata obtained a pot of nectar and drank the divine ambrosia. Prince Dharmagupta won the hand of a celestial princess and, as ordered by Lord Siva, with the help of the celestial king himself, his enemies were slain and his kingdom restored to him. Then Dharmagupta attained the Lord's supreme abode. So easily, and yet so greatly is the Lord of Kailas pleased by this Vrata. Alot of temples hold a puja ceremony for this vrata and the maha mrityunjaya mantra is recited 108 times apart from other rituals and the whole shiva parivar is prayed to starting from Lord Ganesh. Best Wishes, Kanupriya. --- Visti Larsen <vishnu wrote: > Hare Rama Krishna > Dear Vinod, > 1. Sukla Paksha is the most auspicious to BEGIN any > vrata.
