The bhajan is going on .I am too busy with guest ,my mother has been busy with pundits here to worship God with lyrics and I love her being active in such rituals.Rudree Puja is a regular ritual at my home and God Shiva comes frequently in ritual area in the form of pictures and other holy items at home.

 

‘Rudri’ means ‘Shiva – the Benevolent’, ‘ the Destroyer of Evil’ and ‘Puja’ means that which is born out of fullness. Through this Puja one can aim for inner peace and fulfilment. In this Puja, Lord Shiva is worshipped in his Rudra form. The reason Rudri puja is done because the world is a play of energy: negative and positive. When we pray to Shiva – the Lord of transformation – the entire negative energy around us in form of disease, depression, and unhappiness gets transformed into peace, prosperity and joy. Then peace surrounds us in body, mind and soul.

This Pooja is performed with a crystal 'linga'. Each ancient mantra that is chanted gets absorbed in materials like curd, milk, ghee, honey etc. which are used as offerings in the Pooja. It is then offered to Lord Shiva with reverence, love and gratitude. Specially trained Pandits and Veda students from the Veda Agama (Vedic school) perform this special Pooja. The chanting of the mantras is so pure and meditative that it takes one to a different plane.

An offering called ‘rudri’ is made to Lord Shiva. Devotees need to pay the fees for the size of ‘rudri’ they wanted to perform. The priest performs it at any shrine to Lord Shiva or at the home of a devotee. ‘Rudri’ is offering o Devotees make additional offerings of fruits, sweets and other food items including coins or banknotes.

 Devotees also make offerings of lakh batti, lighting of one hundred thousand (125,000) wicks soaked in oil in addition to the regular offering for achieving a special wish.My mom keeps on busy in such ritual as her life has been scheduled to such programs.As an observer I keep on clicking her photoes only.I love all my relatives celebrating with her.
