Appropriate Place and Time for Worshiping Shiva


* Appropriate Place and Time for Worshiping Shiva
**Importance Of Place **
In the Viddyeshwar Samhita of Shivapuran, describing about the importance of place and time for worship of Shiva says-
"Worshiping Shiva at a pure place in a house gives appropriate fruits, while worship done in a cowshed gives virtue, which are ten-times more than former one. Worshiping Shiva at the banks of a river gives, ten times more virtues than the second one. Worship of Shiva done either in temple, under the basil plant etc. or at the banks of Sapt Ganga, gives ten times more virtue than
the third one. If Shiva is worshiped at the seashore than the fourth one, while worshiping Shiva on the peak of a mountain, gives ten times more virtue than the fifth one. But worship done with a fully concentrates mind, gives the best fruits.
**Importance Of Time **
During the Satya-yuga performance of Yagya and donations gave complete results. During the Treta-yuga it gave half, while in the
present Kaliyuga it gives one-fourth results. Virtuosity performed with a pure heart does not go in vain. The other auspicious days in order of their increasing importance are 'Surya-Sankranti', Tula Sankranti and Mesh-Sankranti, Lunar eclipse and Solar eclipse respectively.
