Guest guest Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 dear shiv bhakts om namo bhagawate rudraya some shivabhakts have praised the shivasahasranamam already and let me throw more light on the significance of this pooja. shivapurana, kotirudrasamhita, 36th chapter mentions that once upon a time lord vishnu was meditating upon an earthen shivling and was doing the shiva sahasra nama pooja wherein one flower is offered while reciting each of the thousand names of lord shiva. lord vishnu collected thousand lotuses for this pooja but lord shiva wished to test vishnu and made one lotus disappear. having distressed at the loss of one lotus, vishnu plucked his eye and offered it to lord shiva as the thousandth flower. to this great act of devotion, lord shiva appears and gifts the most powerful sudarshana chakra (having the brilliance of ten thousand suns) to lord vishnu. many people may not be aware that this sudarshana chakra is gifted by lord shiva as a result of shiva sahasranama pooja by vishnu. after this lord shiva also tells that whosoever does shiva sahasra nama pooja by offering thousand flowers while reciting the thousand divine names of lord shiva, all their miseries will be solved and those people will not get bad things even in their dreams. sage suta while narrating this to his disciples also state that whosoever listens to this shiva sahasra nama archana will get their sins erased. may shiv bhakts get the blessings of lord shiva by doing this shiva sahasra nama archana with thousand flowers. with best wishes and blessings pandit arjun www.rudraksharemedy.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
