Guest guest Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 Dear friends, I am in a puzzle, kindly give your view, one of my friend having Shivling (made of PARAD) at home (home puza ghar or a small house temple as generally all we have at home). He is doing worship of lord shiva and offring JAL (watter) in puza time, some one told him that – one should not keep shivling in home. In my personal opinion there is no harm in worshipping of lord in any form, but I also saw a TV program in that one BABA who was telling not to keep Shivling or any Yantra at home. Here in this case my friend is having – 1. shivling (parad) 2. Shree yantra made of silver 3. Ashtlakshmi yantra made of copper 4. Navgraha yantra, and some photos, also having one idol of goddess – doing daily worship. Now what I think – if one is doing daily worship- then no harm in keeping, but if not worshipping then one should not keep these things. I need Expert's advice clearly should we keep shivling at Home or not if not pls explain why ? is it based on any shastra like Purana or Veda or some where. Pls quote the source.

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 Lord Mahadev is lord of lords (Bhagwano ke Bhagwan hain). Nothing can be more asupicious than Shivling...remove any fear or apprehension in this regard...and also do not perpetuate this kind of thing by quoting somebody (who may not be having even the basics correct)...

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 Dear Sunil Sir, You have explained the the intricacies of pooja very nicely.This is how one should adopt worship of Gods. Infact poojas in temples are services helpful to mankind as as suddhi and shraddha in long term may not be easy for humanbeings.sadhana of these practices certainly helps. vrkrishnan --- On Fri, 8/8/08, sunil nair <astro_tellerkerala wrote: sunil nair <astro_tellerkerala Re: Expert's Advice Friday, August 8, 2008, 1:47 PM Hare rama krishna dear niket ji The pooja vidhi and tantras according kerala parampara maintain the view like this .

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 Om Sri Gurubhyo Namaha, Harihi Om. Dear Mr. Niket saraswat, For worshipping any yantra or idol of any Gods at home there are some guidelines given by elders. Here are few of them, Height of the ldol should not be greater than greater than right hand thumb of worshipping person. If height is greater then ask opinion of few pandits. Daily worshiping is required. I personally feel there will be no harm if worshiping is done daily.
