Do Not Offer These Things To Bholenath Even By Mistake In Sawan

The worship of Lord Bholenath holds special importance in the month of Sawan. At this time, devotees worship Shiva with a pure heart to get rid of their sins. But during this time, there are some items that should not be offered to Lord Shiva even by mistake, because this can make the fruit of worship futile, or the purpose of worship is not fulfilled. These items are considered inauspicious on the basis of scriptures. Let us know from celebrity astrologer Chirag Daruwalla about those items that should not be offered to Bholenath in Sawan:

Tulsi leaf

The use of Tulsi leaves in Shiva worship is prohibited, especially in the month of Sawan. Tulsi leaf is considered to Vishnu, not Lord Shiva. For this reason, offering Tulsi leaf to Lord Shiva in Sawan can make the worship futile. Belpatra, fruits, and other pure materials should be offered to Shiva, not Tulsi leaves.

Jalabhishek with Shankh

The use of Shankh is considered very holy in worship, but offering water to Lord Shiva from Shankh is considered taboo. Shankh is used especially in the worship of Lord Vishnu or other deities, and it should not be used in the worship of Lord Shiva. Instead of doing Jalabhishek with Shankh, other means like Kalash are used to offer water on the Shivling.

Kumkum

Kumkum is used in goddess worship, especially in the worship of Durga Mata or Lakshmi Mata. Offering it in the worship of Lord Shiva is considered impure. Lord Shiva should be offered pure substances like milk, curd, ghee, honey, and water in Abhishek, not Kumkum.

Broken Belpatra

Belpatra has great importance in Shiva worship. Three leaves of Belpatra are dear to Lord Shiva, but if Belpatra is broken or broken, then it should not be offered. The fruit of worship can be ineffective due to broken Belpatra. Therefore, always use whole and pure Belpatras in the Puja.

Boiled Milk

Milk is offered to Lord Shiva, but boiled milk should never be offered. Boiled milk is not pure in itself, and its effect can be negative in the Puja. Always use fresh, cold, and pure milk, as it expresses the spirit of the Puja correctly and pleases Lord Shiva.

Ketaki Flower

The Ketaki flower, also known as 'Ketaki Pushp', is considered prohibited in the worship of Lord Shiva. According to old legends, when Lord Shiva performed the Tandava dance with Brahma, the Ketaki flower was placed there. Therefore, offering Ketaki flowers in Shiva Puja is considered inauspicious. Instead, only Belpatras, roses, or other pure flowers should be offered on the Shivling.

Conclusion

Keeping all these things in mind, Lord Shiva should be worshipped with a true heart and pure ingredients in the month of Sawan. By avoiding these things, you make your worship pure and fruitful. There should be no shortage in the worship of Lord Shiva, and while offering each material, special attention should be paid to its importance and purity. If we take care of these small things, then the grace of Shiva always remains with us, and we can fill our lives with blessings.
