Guest guest Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Significance of Shivling and worship ========================================== Lord Shiva from time immemorial has been worshiped in the form of ‘ling’ or ‘lingam.’ The word ‘ling’ means ‘symbol’ or ‘sign.’ It is the visible symbol of Nirguna Brahman (the supreme being) and is present in all the living beings. In North,around Shiv-linga,goddess parvati,lord ganesha,lord kartikeya and others are also build. To worship Lord Shiva,it is advised to water shiv-linga every morning. Doubt ========= Some people say that woman should not water shiv-linga because parvati does not like woman serving her husband so woman should pour water on parvati first followed by lord ganesha and lord kartikey and lastly come to lord-shiva (shiv ling). I want to ask is this true? Is this the way for woman to worship lord shiva and goddess parvati. Also,why is it advised sometime to mix milk with water for shiv-linga abhishek ? many thanks angel goel =================== ________ India Answers: Share what you know.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 ??? ??? ?????? Dear Angel, Namaskar This is not right, everyone can worship a Shiva linga provided they keep the necessary level of purity required for any puja to be done. I think someone is pulling your leg on this as ladies have been worshiping the Shiva linga for a long time in India.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 || Om Vinayakaya Namah || || Om Namah Sivaya Namah Gyanaanandaya || || Om Namo Bhagawate Raja Ramachandraya || || Haya-Mukha Siddhi Rastu || Dear Shri Angel, Namaste ! Below is the reply of Gurudev Shri Sanjay Rath when i asked the same query in a personal mail before 3 years.. ====================================================== |brihaspatim varenyam| Dear krithi Any one can worship Lord Shiva, male , female or even animals. There is a story of how a shiva linga was buried under the ground and when a cow would go near the place, the milk would flow automatically...now, if a cow can do the abhisheka, why can't a human being do it. Only those 5 days are banned. ~ om tat sat ~ Yours truly, Sanjay Rath ======================================================= Hope my reply helped to clear your doubts. || Hare Rama Krishna || Thanks, Krithigaivasan --- angel <angelgoel wrote: > Significance of Shivling and worship > ========================================== > Lord Shiva from time immemorial has been worshiped > in > the form of ‘ling’ or ‘lingam.’ The word ‘ling’ > means > ‘symbol’ or ‘sign.’ It is the visible symbol of > Nirguna Brahman (the supreme being) and is present > in > all the living beings. > > In North,around Shiv-linga,goddess parvati,lord > ganesha,lord kartikeya and others are also build. > To > worship Lord Shiva,it is advised to water shiv-linga > every morning. > > Doubt > ========= > Some people say that woman should not water > shiv-linga > because parvati does not like woman serving her > husband so woman should pour water on parvati first > followed by lord ganesha and lord kartikey and > lastly > come to lord-shiva (shiv ling).

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 Hare Rama Krishna Namaskar to all it was during one of SJC Atri Mp3's when Guruji Sanjay was talking about Navamsa (I think), and Upapada lagna in various vargas, when he said that Upapada lagna is different in various vargas. He mentioned UL in Vimsamsa and said that when native is single he is doing worship (pouring water etc) alone, but when he/she gets married than they should do worship together...I belive somebody will add more knowledge and informations to this topic since we are all interested in it.
