In this age of Kali, to attain Lord Shiva, for cleansing all the impurities of mind and rectifying inherent demonic tendencies, one should study/read Shiv Mahapuran - the supreme of all the puranas, which was narrated by Lord Shiva himself. "By understanding the mysteries of Shivmahapuran and singing its praises, a man attains greater virtues than that which could be attained by being charitable or by the performance of all the 'yagyas'. Contemplating on the subject matters of Shiv Maha Puran give auspicious fruits. Shiv Maha Puran contains twenty-four thousand shlokas and seven Samhitas which are as under ~ VIDYESHWAR SAMHITA, RUDRA SAMHITA, SHATRUDRA SAMHITA, KOTI RUDRA SAMHITA, UMA SAMHITA, KAILASH SAMHITA, VAYVIYASAMHITA. ‪By reading Shiv Maha Purana a man can achieve benediction. Shiv Maha Puran contains the essence of Vedantic philosophy, which gives worldly pleasures as well as Salvation. Mere remembrance of it destroys all the sins of a man. One who studies the Rudra-Samhita attentively, his gravest of sins are destroyed instantaneously. One who studies Rudra-Samhita' silently, sitting in front of Bhairav-idol, all of his aspirations are fulfilled. A man gets liberated from the sin of killing a brahmin, if he studies Rudra Samhita while circulbulating around a Banyan tree." "Kailash Samhita is even Superior than Rudra Samhita, as it elaborates upon the meaning of Omkar. Shivmahapuran is created by lord Shiva Himself. "Initially it contained one lakh shlokas but it was precised to twenty-four thousand shlokas by sage Vyas. The study of Shiv Puran helps a man to attain Dharma, Artha, Kaam and Moksha.
Har Har Bhole Namah Shivaya!
