Know the science in the worship of Lord Shiva :
"Om Namah Shivaya"
Kailaasarana Shiva Chandramouli

Meaning: Oh, Lord Shiva, who is seated on Mount Kailas, whose
forehead is decorated with the moon and the king of serpents as a crown,
who is the Ocean of Mercy and the remover of delusion, You alone can
protect me.
I surrender to thee.
1. Emitting waves of Knowledge, Devotion and renunciation
Predominantly 'sattva' waves of knowledge, 'raja' waves of devotion
and 'tama' waves of Renunciation (Vairagya) are emitted by the
'Shivpindi'. During Mahashivratri, the emission increases by 30 percent.
2. Emission of subtle vibrations of chaitanya, bliss and peace
The 'Shivpindi' emits subtle vibrations of chaitanya, bliss and
peace. During the Mahashivratri, the emission increases by 25 percent.
This helps purify the subtle-body of one who worships the Shivpindi on
this day. The 'sun' or the 'moon' channels in the body get activated as
per necessity. The capacity to absorb the sattvaguna and chaitanya also
increases. Due to the presence of the unmanifest Shiva principle in the
Shivpindi and the vibrations of peace emitted, the Shivpindi remains
cool and the mind too experiences peace. Worship of Shivpindi with
devotion, activates the dormant Shiva principle. An offering of puffed
rice and milk reaches Lord Shiva in the subtle form.
3. Receiving the 'tarak or marak tatva (element)' as required
There is a meeting of the evident and the unevident elements along
with the 'tarak and marak tatva' in the Shivpindi. (Tarak = Saviour;
Marak = Destroyer). That is how worshipers receive the required element.
The temperature of the Shivpindi increases due to the emission of the
marak tatva and there one experiences bliss. Similarly, when the tarak
tatva is emitted, the temperature drops and one experiences peace and
bliss.
Offerings made to Lord Shiva :
Bilvapatra :
It contains 2% Shiva tatva. By offering bilvapatra to the Shivpindi
on Mahashivratri, the manifest Shiva tatva near the stalk of the
bilvapatra gets activated. Due to this, waves of chaitanya as well as
Shiva tatva are emitted by the bilvapatra. The bilvapatra attracts 20%
of the Shiva tatva present in the Shivpindi towards itself.
Application of Holy Ash (Bhasma) :
Tripundra refers to the three horizontal stripes of holy ash
applied to the forehead. These stripes symbolise spiritual knowledge,
purity and penance, thus they represent the three eyes of Lord Shiva.
Ritualistic worship of the pindi :
Only cold water and bel is offered to Lord Shankar's pindi.
Circumambulation (pradakshina) :
When circum-ambulating one should begin from the left side and
continue till the channel of the shalunka from where the water offered
during the ritualistic bathing (abhishek) flows. The flow of a shalunka
is not crossed because it affects the formation of semen and the five
internal vital energies.
Chanting the Name of Lord Shiva or 'Om Namah Shivaya'
'Namaha Shivaya is Shiva's five-syllabled mantra. It means :
• na = Foremost deity of all the regions (lokas)
• ma = Bestower of supreme spiritual knowledge (gyan) & redeemer of the greatest of sins
• shi = Benevolent, serene and responsible for initiation by Lord Shiva
• va = Symbolic of a bull as the vehicle and Vasuki and Vamangi energy (shakti)
• ya = Auspicious abode of Supreme Bliss and Lord Shiva.
Om represents an unmanifest state beyond the 3 gunas (elements of
sattva, raja & tama). We bow to Lord Shiva, from whom Om was
created.
