Importance of anointment with milk and Ganga water
Anointing Shivalinga with milk on Mahashivratri is considered to be the most popular and fruitful. Abhishekam by mixing some Ganges water in raw cow’s milk gives peace to the mind and reduces stress. If there is unrest in your life, then this Abhishek can prove to be very beneficial for you. While doing Abhishek, Om Namah Shivay mantra should be continuously chanted. This simple action infuses positive energy within you and deepens your devotion towards Mahadev.
Benefits of anointment with honey and ghee
If you want to improve your health and happiness, then it is best to perform anointment with honey and pure ghee. Anointing with honey brings sweetness in speech and there is a possibility of getting progress in stalled work. At the same time, the anointment of pure ghee is considered to provide relief from diseases and give energy to the body. While performing puja at home, you can also mix these ingredients and offer them. Mahadev is very innocent, he only sees your true devotion and love. This small effort done with full faith can change the direction of your life.
Get happiness and peace with Panchamrit Abhishek
Abhishekam with Panchamrit on Mahashivratri is considered to give very auspicious results. The mixture of milk, curd, ghee, honey and sugar is called Panchamrit. With this Abhishek, happiness and peace in the house improves. Slowly offer Panchamrit on Shivling and mentally pray to Mahadev for your prosperity. After this, do not forget to clean the Shivalinga with pure water. Finally apply sandalwood paste and offer Belpatra. This method is not only simple, but it has also been described as very effective in the scriptures.
Sugarcane juice and other special anointments
To improve the financial condition, there is a tradition of anointing with sugarcane juice on Mahashivratri. It is believed that this increases comforts in life and removes poverty. Apart from this, if you do Abhishek by simply mixing black sesame seeds in pure water, it removes mental obstacles. You can choose any of these Abhishek as per your convenience and devotion. By the grace of Mahadev, happiness will come in your life and there will be a possibility of getting relief from all the troubles.
