Worship Lord Shiva and Parvathi during Shani Pradosha

Sairam friends,

In the afternoon I never realized its actually Shani Pradosham – The Pradosha which comes on a Saturday. When my Mom kept telling she wants to go to the temple and from morning our maid was making a Garland of Green grass for Nandhi – the holy Bull of Shiva , I realized its actually Shani Pradosha.

I have read in various sacred books about how auspicious it is to worship Lord Shiva and Parvathi during Pradosham. Many people go to temple on this day but very few actually feel the presence of Shiva and Parvathi in their heart. At times, When we are really devoted to God and do Pooja, we could feel it.

It is said that doing Abishekam, Sacred Bath to Shiva Lingam and Parvati on this holy day, offering Vilva – Bilva leaves and lighting lamps blesses a devotee with good health, peace and prosperity. On saturday night the Lord Blesses the devotee if he keeps remembering Shiva. So keep your mind very pure and remember the lord during saturdays especially if its pradosham.

I am fastly writing this article as I have to do abishekam to my Sai, Dattatreya, Lakshmi, Saraswathi, Ganesha and Shiva Lingam now , keep kumkum and light lamps.

I wrote about Shiva Sahasranama in Sahasranama.in

Edit

I went to Nagasai Mandhir this evening and asked for Vilva lead to offer Shiva Lingam in my home. I went late at around 7. So i guessed all the Vilva ( Bilva leaf ) would have got over. I have a habit of requesting at least one single Bilva leaf. The shop keeper could not find even few leaves to give me. I found a single Bilva leaf near some flowers and said I got one. This is enough to offer my Shiv Ling.

Then I lit 3 lamps and offered honey in the holy fire of Sacred Dhuni in Dwarakamai, went to Main Saibaba temple hall, prayed and went to the Shiva Temple behind the mandir. I did good prayers and came back to Dwarakamai where after many many months, I came around holy dhuni continuously.

Then I sat down in the corner and read the book Devotees Experiences by Narasimha Swamiji.  I love the devotion of Chandra Bai towards her Guru Saibaba. She has kept a small box full of Udi which Sai himself gave him during his life time.  Her belief in Sai is so strong and sweet. I shall tell you about her story sometime in another article.

At night I got some news from my friends which me feel painful and really upset. I regret for knowing few people. May be Sai saved me from the worst though I had to go through lots of pains and still am suffering.  I came home with a pain in my chest. All day I was so happy. At least I was doing some work in my Sai Sites but after listening to some news I felt the pain getting into my chest.

My friend Ramanujam gave me Prasad of Soolakal Maari Amman and he was telling she’s Goddess of Mercy. I gave it to my parents. Amma’s nerve was pulling a lot this morning and she screamed. So I pressed her legs softly and applied Udi aso. Now I am listening to Shiva Sahasranama and writing to you.

I am really pained Baba and Lord Shiva….Please help me…

Ok You all Worship Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvathi every evening, Every Saturday and try your best to do anything you can during Pradosham days. If Pradosham happens to be on Saturday, its more auspicious. So make sure you do pooja or at least do Chanting in Mind “Aum Namah Shiva” as much as you can.
