Odia Book Sibabhisheka By Pandita Shri Lingaraj Tripathy

 

Shiva Abhisheka is an important ceremony in the Hindu religion where worshipers praise the god Shiva by giving his lingam, or sacred relic, a ritual bath. While this ceremony is usually performed at a temple in large groups, you can also convene and worship Shiva from the comfort and sanctity of your own home.

Abhisheka is a process to get into meditation, the way the water flows, similarly, knowledge flows into the mind. This is not done for Shiva, this is done for ourselves; to meditate. When we do Rudra Abhishekam everybody gets a good meditative experience. Shiva exists in the five elements, would he get happy when you pour water, no! But when we do it with reverence and feeling, an environment is created and when we chant, its vibration gets absorbed into the water. It is scientifically proven that chanting this Mantra restructures and improves the crystalline sequence of water.
