Guest guest Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 Querida Kalachandra, Sure , let me explain. This year Shivaratri is on Mar 8th. We do four pujas for Shivaratri, and each time there is one different offering. First puja - we offer milk. Second puja - we offer yoghurt. Third puja - we offer ghee. Fourth puja - we offer honey. The first puja will happen at 5 o'clock in the evening on March 8th. The second puja will happen at 10 o'clock in the evening/night on March 8th. The third puja will happen at 1 o'clock in the early morning (just 1 hour after midnight ) on March 9th. The fourth puja will happen at 3 o'clock in the early morning on March 9th. Mangala arati will be performed at 4 o'clock in the early morning on March 9th. This will complete the normal Shivaratri pujas. Our usual daily pujas will start at 5 in the morning on March 9th. Hope this helps. Please let me know of any questions. Jai Maa Beijos, Nanda , Kala Chandra <kalachandra2003> wrote: > Dear Nanda. > I don´t understand very well this times.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 Namaste No, on Shivaratri we offer each item seprately. As it has been in the past, each person offers just milk for the first Puja, Second Yoghurt, etc. If there is multiple people each offer each item in there time (times as below). Yes, both honey and Ghee need to be in a pourable state, as they need to be offered over the Shiva Lingam, as well Swami Vittalananda Saraswati , Kala Chandra <kalachandra2003> wrote: > Thanks dear Nanda. But, I don´t understand very well this offerings. Every day we do the Shiva Puja beginners and we offer this for the bath of deith, ok? But in this day ( Shivaratri ) we offer these in the food offering? Thanks for your goodness, patience with me. > kisses > kalachandra > Nanda <chandimaakijai> wrote: > > Querida Kalachandra, > Sure , let me explain. > This year Shivaratri is on Mar 8th.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 Namaste All, Though a bit late here's hoping that all had a beautiful Shivatri. I did both sankalpas ending at about 3:15 a.m. (11:15 p.m. CA). Having had a very bad bout of the flu, the voice was terrible not to mention the cough but with Gurujis help the goal was achieved. In between sankalpas, I listended to Maa singing Shiva is in my heart and reflected on previous Shivatris at the Mandir. I would have given anything though to see Maa as she sang Bole Bom Bom to feel the strength of Her being, Her peace, which pervades the Mandir. I love you Mother. Om Namah Shiviyai.
