Guest guest Posted August 14, 2005 Report Share Posted August 14, 2005 A small tip for those who are offering worship to lingas in their homes. Light a ghee lamp behind the lings(not in front) to remove 'peedas'(pestering problems) in your life. It is like your life will have no shadow behind! .This is a tested concept. Light the same lamp with sesame oil for shani doshas(in the same manner) Just thought of sharing this. Thanks to Kasthuri Prassana ji for making me a member of this groupo and also giving me additional previliges(though I do not deserve it as I am not a great worshipper of Lord shiva. However I will stand out of the compound and see how the 'music show' goes like a chandala before the house of brahmins who still likes the music!...I like the music called OM NAMA SHIVAYA. Hope I can stand outside the compund and hum certain tunes now and then even if it is a apaswara (by way of contributing now and then somethings which i know,feel and experience!) Your chandala!

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 Hi, I meant lighting the lamp behind a linga filled with sesame oil. If you do not have a lingam buy one.Many online sites sell it. Ofcourse there are many other remedies for shani but this is with regards to lingam.
