Shiva Puran

[Guest guest]

OM Namah Shivaya

The following is an extract from the Shiva Puran link provided on

this mailing list :

 

 

"A devotee who has taken the vow of listening to the Katha of

Shivmahapuran, should follow a celibate life. He should sleep on the

floor and should have only fruits in the diet. He can have his

normal dinner only after the completion of the Katha. The diet

should be fresh and pure. He should also try to avoid sinful

tendencies like lust, anger, greed, attachment and condemning other,

etc. Making donations of even meager things give undiminishing

virtues."

 

I am just curious to know, if one or more members have actually

followed this while reading/listening to Shiva Puran and have gone

through the whole Puran.

 

thanks,

Om Namah Shivaya

Hello,

 

I have read the Shiv Puran and it took me a whole day to do so. But

let me tell you one thing. In the entire time I did, I did nto feel

hungry or sleepy or thirsty or tired. It is really interesting and

very very beautiful.

 

If you are going to be reading it with bhakti and concentration,

then you wouldn't have to try to follow this. It will automatically

happen. Believe in Him. He will make it happen.

 

Om Namah Shivaya.
