Question regarding Sivaratri

[Guest guest]

Jai MAA

 

This is a question for Swamiji

 

The information about Sivaratri and Sathabisha Nakshatra as per the

local Panchang is

 

Sivaratri – Tuesday 08/03/05

 

Sathabisha Nakshatra- Wednesday - 09/03/05 - 6.30 A.M to 10/03/05

5.30 A.M

 

So according to this should I do Shiv Puja on Tuesday night and

Ashtothra Japa on Wednesday night.

 

Should I restrict myself to reciting Ashtothra once or recite it 21 or

may be 108 times.

 

Pranams to Sree MAA and Swamiji.
