Shivratri on 27.2.2014

Hi Vani vyas

We generally do nirjal upvas till evening and after sunset do pooja again offer fruits and water to lord and break our fast with water and fruits.

We do not eat any salt/spicy food at all tomorrow. We do Jagaran tomorrow night and day after tomorrow cook varieties of food and offer to Lord and eat the prasad.

 

I want to start fasting on Mahashivrathri.. Please suggest me on how to do it..

 

Normally my mom tells that it is best to start when shivrathri falls on a monday to start fasting. But it is not hard and fast rule.

 

Oh tomorrow is Shivaraathri, that's nice. We have Spadiga Lingam at home, have to plan something early morning, becoz I am planning to go for diabetic checkup tomorrow. Have to get up very early then.

My wife is Shiva's devotee, she use to be very crazy about nearby Shiva temple, every week she visit. In the last two year she got many problems, so she got angry with Shiva and stopped worshiping. Tomorrow I am planning to convince her and ask her to continue worshiping Shiva.

 

What is sabudhana?

 

Yea Chevarasi, I know. OK using that you prepare kichadi? Oh nice... have not heard about that. We use it only for making Paayasam.
