Parad shivling

[Guest guest]

Namaste Gary, please scroll below for the info :

 

Placement :

 

East and the north are the two acceptable orientations for the base

of Shiva ling in any temple as stipulated in Agama Shastra. So the

base Shiva ling is noticed either facing East or North direction in

any temple. While the devotee, who is worshipping Shiva Ling is

facing the East, the base of Shiva Ling shall be oriented towards

north direction. When the bhakta is facing north while worshipping,

the base of Shiv Ling shall be oriented towards East. Base here shall

mean the point from where the Abhishek liquid (Water or Panchamrit)

flows out of Shiva Ling. http://www.rudraksha-

Parad Linga

 

To have a shivalinga made from mercury, one must be blessed through

good karmic deeds of past lives. Therefore such good care ought to be

given in taking care of the linga. A bowl of clean water, another

bowl of pure milk and a bowl of rose water should be prepared for the

worship. On an auspicious day or on normal days esp. on Monday or

Thursday, one should take bath and then light up the oil lamp. Light

up incense in the prayer room and then initially wash the linga with

clean water, washing away all dust or other dirt that may be

accumulated.

 

Next while chanting " Om nama shivaya " or singing the " maha

mrityunjaya mantra " , wash first the linga in the bowl containing the

clean water. After a through bath, wipe dry with a soft tissue...

follow this with milk and then with rose water. After the final bath,

install it in a place of worship with full love and devotion.

Apply " Vibuthi " , sandal paste and then " saffron " . After that offer

the incense. Tulsi leaf will compliment the linga along with

flowers. /articledt.php?
