Guest guest Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Lord Shiva is Abhisheka Priya , Lord is Bhola Shankar and He is happy with continuous Abhishekam with simple water - Jalabhishekam and/or Bhasma- abhishekam. Lingam represents fiery pillar of fire and It has to be kept Pacified by continuous water pouring. Shiva has swallowed Haalaahalam The entire universal pollutants to save the humanity and the least we can do for the lord by constant soaking with water. Hara Hara Mahadeva Sambho Shankara Parvathi Pathaye Om NamaSSivaaya Namaha Om. athreya On 11/8/05, Ramachandran.ChidambaraIyer <swarnam_rama wrote: > In all the siva temple where the murthy is in Linga form, a vessel > with a small whole (Dhara Patram) is hung over the linga and a drop of > water falls on linga always.

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Prabhu Shri Ramachandraji, accept my namaskarams. To the extent what I know... Lord Mahadeva due to his intense medidation for the welfare of all worlds, generates a lot of heat. This heat is many times strong than sun or swayam Agni himself. So water which cools Agni is used to cool Lord Mahadeva. A water drop dripping will make the Lord Mahadeva very happy and pleasefull. I do know that giving Dhara to Lord Mahadeva will help in all ways of life for the jiva. SubhamDinamAstu!

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Lord Shiva is worshipped as Nirvikar, Nirgunarup, Neraakaar roop. Shiv Lng is symbolically representing these qualities. Further Lord shiva always satisfies with Abhishek where as Lord Vishnu likes to be adored with ornaments (Vishnu alankaara priyam). To arrange nityabhishek to the lord Dhara patra is hung above Shiv Ling so that the disciples pour water in it with Shraddha and bhaktti. It is important to place a few flowers over Shiv Ling underneath the flow to avoid pitting of the top surface. Aum Namah Shivay.

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Also a good place to refer the different ways of Sri Parameshwara aaradhana I found was this http://siddhanta.shaivam.org/ Hope this helps! Love and shivam, there exist two things, say the fools.Love is shivam, that nobody understands.When everybody realise that Love is shivam,they sit in love as shivam.thirumuular SubhamDinamAstu!

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 The question can be reframed scientifically Does the structure of neclear reactor resemble shiva linga and what is the purpose of cadmium rods for a N.Reactor. Why didn't the scientist consider some cross or cresent like structure for nueclear reactor. The answer to this question can be given by any science student or can be found over the net.... the dhara is used as cadmium rods. Clue: High enegry conservation......
