10 things i am doing on Shivaratri tomorrow. Sharing with you here:
1. See the form of Lord Shiva with the eyes and internalise it by staring intensely followed by visualising it with eyes closed. This is called Traataka.\\xa0
2. Read Shiva Puran with the eyes and mouth loudly.\\xa0
3 Hear the glories and stories of Bhagavan.
4. Chant Shiva Stotrams and mantras like Om Namah Shivaya and Mrityunjaya Mantra. Loudly first and then softly.\\xa0
5. Offer abhisheka and bilva leaves to the Shivalinga with the hands.\\xa0
6. Walk to the Shiva Mandir with the feet.\\xa0
7. Do Upavaas. If possible without water(Nirjal). If not, with fruits alone and no cereal. If that is also not possible, then eat cooked fasting food but once only. Fasting ensures that our pranas move upwards and help us in deepening our spiritual practices.\\xa0
8. Remember Bhagwan throughout the day as much as possible. This is the true meaning of Upavaas. Upa- Near. Vaas - stay. Stay close to the Lord mentally.\\xa0
9. Surrender to Bhagwan and accept HIS will. Prostrate with this bhaav or emotion.\\xa0
10. Meditate on Shiva-Tattva as one\\u2019s True Self - Chidananda Rupah Shivoham Shivoham and wake up. This is the deeper meaning of keeping awake on the Shivaratri night. It is to transcend all finitude and go beyond the BMI(Body-Mind-Intellect). One realises Shiva then.\\xa0
