Guest guest Posted June 30, 2003 Report Share Posted June 30, 2003 Dear tripathi ji, As you might have noticed there is always a provision for continuous running water or ganga jal dripping on a Shiv-ling. The faith is that Shiv-ling is a source of inexaustible energy and therefore it has to be kept permanently cool [ sheetal ]. Modern day atomic reactors too have to be kept cool all the time. Now offering [ pouring ] water or milk in a copper utensil onto a Shiv-ling would mean offering it in a karak object of sun, and by doing so you would defeat the purpose of the offering . Because you have added the heat of the sun into your offering. Therefore instead of providing sheetalta , it will give heat. However the use of copper is not prohibited in other poojas . On the contrary , after gold and silver , copper is the metal of choice for pooja utensils. It is considered very pure , again may be because of its association with sun.

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2003 Report Share Posted June 30, 2003 Dear Upadhyaya ji, I am not clear,if at all metal like copper to be avoided as per your analysis, then how, water in cupper pot is usually offered to shivling and how tambra naag is offered in somecases of Naagpratistha. with best wishes, P K Tripathy. --- upadhyay_iitd <upadhyay_iitd wrote: > Dear tripathi ji, > As you might have noticed > there is always a > provision for continuous running water or ganga jal > dripping on a > Shiv-ling.

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2003 Report Share Posted June 30, 2003 dear Tripathy ji, That was the only explanation I could think of. As far as offering tambra nag is concerned , that could be ok because it is not placed on the shiv-ling . Invariably it is a silver nag which is placed around the shiv-ling . Or there may be some mythological reason , I am not aware of. with regards, upadhyay lalkitab , " p.k. tripathy " <pktripathy2003> wrote: > Dear Upadhyaya ji, > > I am not clear,if at all metal like copper to be > avoided as per your analysis, then how, water in > cupper pot is usually offered to shivling and how > tambra naag is offered in somecases of Naagpratistha. > > with best wishes, > P K Tripathy. > --- upadhyay_iitd <upadhyay_iitd> wrote: > > Dear tripathi ji, > > As you might have noticed > > there is always a > > provision for continuous running water or ganga jal > > dripping on a > > Shiv-ling.

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2003 Report Share Posted June 30, 2003 Dear Mr Upadhyaya, Actually, fact is that, why I m interested in these two metals, on my case study system, I came across with a case having severe marital dispute, alongwith all steps, this one was apart for neutraulising martian affect after due rudrabhisekham,and I was guided by a senior vedic brahmin by the fact, but logically, as far planetary combination is concerned it is a good one,but it is mentioned in texts even Graha Yaga Padhathi,that serving milk in cupper pot is as like as serving liquor to shivling. So,I wanted to be clarified from u,in case u have some knowledge tht's all,since,u also suggested remidy in that line to sun god. Tht's all. OK, sorry for bothering u. Remain with best wishes, P K Tripathy. --- upadhyay_iitd <upadhyay_iitd wrote: > dear Tripathy ji, > That was the only explanation I could think of.
