Guest guest Posted February 15, 2004 Report Share Posted February 15, 2004 Dear spbritman ji, You may visit this site and see what you want... the home page for this site is http://www.hindunet.org; I hope you get your answer on the link below. There are 32 different type of Lingams...so in the regular puja certain syllable change... The link below is good enough I guess.. http://www.archaka.com/puja/deities/shiva/shivaratripuja2.htm in this site you will find books and CDs on how to perform the puja on a step to step basis. Here is a story that traces the origin of the festival to the fact that Lord Shiva saved the entire human race and the universe from destruction by swallowing poison. It is believed that the Gods and the demons were churning the Ocean (Sagarmanthan) to obtain amrit (nectar) to stay immortal. In the process they came across many unusual substances, including the deadly poison. As soon as they touched the poison, it exploded into poisonous fumes that threatened to destroy the entire universe. When the destruction of the universe seemed inevitable, the Gods ran for assistance to Brahma and Vishnu, but neither was able to help. At last they ran to Lord Shiva, who swallowed the poison without spilling a single drop. That also explains why Lord Shiva's throat is blue in colour for which he is also called Neel Kanth (the one who has a blue throat) or Vishaapaharana Murthy. Om Namaha Shivaya! spbritman wrote: Does anyone know of a good website to review Mahashivratri puja instructions for the puja of my lingam at home?
