Guest guest Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Mahatman, In Shiva temples in Kerala, devotees offer face like silver cover to adore Shiva Lingam, Some offer all the three eyes made of gold which can be attached to the lingam. Some offer golden ornaments embedded with stones to decorate the shiva lingam. They are used as decoration on special days as per the wishes of the devotees. While performing abhishekam or jala dhara, these decorations are removed and abhishekam is performed. Any instalation of shiva in a temple will be based on a bhava and worship is done according to the bhava. If the bhava is of Nataraja, or meenakshi Sundareswar or Vaidhyanatha the devotees pray and pujas are conducted according to the bhava of the instalation. This is the tantric practice. The moola manthra will reveal the bhava of the instalation. Whatever may be the bhava, it is in the eyes of the beholder. In whatever way you visualise Him, he is with you in that bhava. He is karuna murthy.
