RITUALS OF THE WORSHIP OF SHIVA—SACRED
PIGRIMAGES :

On the request of the sages, Suta describes about the methods of worshiping Shivalinga. He
says-- "One should construct a Shivalinga either of mud, rock or metal and establish it in such a
place where it can be worshiped daily without any hindrance."
"The 'Char' (mobile) Linga should be small in size and the Sthira (fixed) linga should be large.
The Linga should be constructed along with the pedestal. The rule for constructing a Shivalinga
has been specifically described. The breadth of thickness of the Linga should be twelve times the
thickness of the devotees (one who is constructing the linga) finger, while the length should be
twenty-five times. After establishing the linga in the above mentioned way, it should be
worshiped after performing the Shodasopachar. The thumb also symbolise a Shivalinga and its
worship can be done. While worshiping the Shivalinga, the mantra OM NAMAH SHIVAY
should be continuously chanted. Chanting this mantra for five crore times, helps a man in attaining to the abode of Shiva. Worship of Shiva done during the mid night is considered to be
especially fructifying.
There are numerous places of pilgrimages connected with Shiva at the banks of river Ganges and
river Indus. River Saraswati is considered to be a sacrosanct river and having an opportunity of
living at its banks, helps in attaining to the abode of Brahma.
Similarly, there are famous temples of Lord Shiva at Kashi, Naimisharanya, Badrikasharama and
Kedar etc. There are many temples of Shiva at the banks of holy river like Ganges, Yamuna,
Saraswati, Godavari, Narmada, Kaveri, Sarayu, Tungabhadra etc. Worshiping Shiva at these
places bestows undiminishing virtues and liberates a man from all of his sins.
