Guest guest Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 good morning hai, i am sivakumar from paris; why we called the god SIVA? who is SIva? please thank you - "panditarjun2004" weekdays attributed by lord shiva Wed, 12 Jul 2006 09:59:10 -0000 dear shiv bhakts om namo bhagawate rudraya the shivapuran, vidveshwar samhita, chapter 14 gives comprehensive narration of how weekdays were given by lord shiva, which i translate succinctly in english below: the first day of the week was meant for lord shiva himself and the ruler of this day is sun who gives health. the second day of the week was meant for shakti and the ruler of this day is moon who gives wealth. the third day of the week was meant for kumaraswamy and the ruler of this day is mars who cures diseases. the fourth day of the week was meant for vishnu and the ruler of this day is mercury who gives nutrition or development. the fifth day of the week was meant for brahma and the ruler of this day is jupiter who gives longevity of life. the sixth day of the week was meant for indra and the ruler of this day is venus who gives enjoyment or pleasures. the seventh day of the week was meant for yama and the ruler of this day is saturn who removes fear of death. worshipping the particular gods on these particular days is recommended for a person who wish to get the results given by those respective lords or planets. shiv bhakts may wonder why sunday was attributed as the day of lord shiva when in reality, most people follow monday for lord shiva. let us share more light on this aspect and also find out why sunday is not followed by shiv bhakts for worshipping lord shiva. in praise of lord shiva and with best wishes pandit arjun -- India.com free e-mail - www.india.com.
