Guest guest Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 Hello there To my knowledge, all that is offered to the 'SivaLingam' should not be consumed by humans but to be offered to the plants('Jada'-entities that do not/can not move freely) . Also to my knowledge, there is no tradition of offering Tulsi leaves to the Lingam. What is appropriate is 'Bilva Patra' either to be offered directly to the Lingam or used to pour the purified water or water & milk mixture on SivaLingam. Maybe someone else with different traditions can offer more insight.....

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 Hi Anand, I know that if the Lingan is a properly installed Namadeshwar then humans can consume the prasadam, otherwise not.

To worship Lord Shiva please use the Beal Patra which is dear to Him. Hope this helps Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2005 Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 To All Members, Please forgive me if I am wrong or ignorant, I always have this question in my mind as to why we have to do these poojas and offerings, cant we do good deeds and lead a highly responsible and rightous life and impress the gods above us. Is there any other way to impress gods than doing good karma, This is just my way of looking at it, please correct me if I am wrong, I am just a small human being and may be I am looking at it with a small vision/perspective I have. Thanks, Divakar. --- rishi kesh <gtbadman2001 wrote: > as far as i know you are not suppose to offer tulsi > leaf to shivling... but once offering anything to > the > lord, its is good to take part in that which is > consider the left over, in the gita it is said to > take > part in the left over's. > hope this help > Rishi > hari om > > --- gcat_mmv <no_reply> wrote: > > > Namaste > > > > Am i ok eating the Tulsi leaf after offering to > > Shivling? > > > > M Vaghela > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Tired of spam?

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 I have read in shiv puran that the offerings made to shivalinga should be consumed by humans. Please do ask a person who has thorough knowledge of the puranas for a convincing answer. gcat_mmv <no_reply> wrote: Namaste Am i ok eating the Tulsi leaf after offering to Shivling?
