Guest guest Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Namaste ray.siya1 ! As everybody knows, traditionally Lord Shiva (In Linga form) is mostly worshiped with Water/Milk Abhishek. Technically speaking, Fire worship would be better, in my opinion as you know that Fire is the un-currepted element left besides Ether. i.e. Fire element is more purer than water element in the current times. Let's try worshiping him with 'Fire'. Warm Regards, Utpal pS: Vo to Bhole Baba hai. Jyada Nakhare nahi dikhate. bhakto ne Dhature ka phul chadhaya to usise khush ho jate hain. Chahe Agani me bulao ya Paani me snaan karao, He'll be always happy , " ray.siya1 " <ray.siya1 wrote: > > > Even I am eagerly waiting for Shiva homam, though one question..

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Namaste, In some quarters, there is a view that only abhishekam (bathing) is advisable for Rudra and not homam (fire worship). They think that Rudra is full of fire and fire worship increases the fire and bathing cools down the fire. However, any deity can be called in fire, even fiery deities. There is no harm in calling a fiery planet like Mars or Sun in fire and doing homam with their mantras, as suggested by Maharshi Parasara (father of Vyasa). Also, Rudra homam is done at many temples. Traditionally, homam is done with 1/10th of the count of Rudrabhishekam. Rudra is like a bowman who releases the fruits of your karmas like an arrow. Homam really accelerates this. Moreover, Rudra namakam is a long veda mantra and it is nearly impossible for most of us to pronounce it correctly. Just like Chandi homam, one should do Rudra homam if one is surrendered to the Lord and prepared to face the music for ANY karmas done before and be done with them. Of course, after a few painful blocking karmas are gotten over with, one can make tremendous spiritual progress. But, if one wants to go slowly, I suggest that Chandi homam and Rudra homam are not for that person. I wanted to distribute a manual for a Shiva homam with simple Shiva mantras. But, somehow, the inspiration from inside has not come yet and it has not happened.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Vo to Bhole Baba hai. Jyada Nakhare nahi dikhate. Heh, well said! Btw, I know of at least one person who has been doing a homa of lord shiva fopr the last ten years daily. He lives in a very remote location, away from people. He does a lot of other sadhanas too, but this is one thing he does daily. A renunciate.
