Mahasivarathri is being celebrated across the country today. Today is Mahasivarathri Day and we will learn about the do’s and don’ts.
Although there are many types of fasting days for Hindus, Vaikuntha Ekadasi fasting for Vaishnavite devotees and Mahasivarathri fasting for Saiva devotees are important days.
Do not make these mistakes even if you forget on this day.
வனுக்கு துளசி:
There is a reason why the plant is not dedicated. Tulsi’s son-in-law Jalandhar was killed by Lord Shiva. Legends say that Lord Shiva should not be worshiped with his leaves as Tulsi cursed.

Coconut is not widely used in Shiva worship:
Lord Shiva killed a demon named Sangachudu. The conch has since been considered a symbol of the same demon. So the horn should not be blown while worshiping Shankara. Water should not be consecrated.
Soft drink called Annadanam:
It is a blessing to give alms on the great day. However, some people consider saffron, yoghurt rice, sambar rice, soft drinks, etc. to be a blessing and prepare and give alms to the devotees who come to the temple. Doing so will spoil the benefits of Shivratri fasting.
Saffron should not be used much in Shiva worship, believing that red flowers are cursed by God. That is why red flowers should not be dedicated to Lord Shiva.

Broken rice:
Broken rice should never be used for Lord Shiva. Similarly the rice should be well cleaned.
Those who fast at home without going to the temples mistakenly think that they can watch a devotional film on Shivratri and enjoy watching devotional films and devotional songs. This is also the wrong approach. We need to avoid this too.
It is good to avoid misbehavior such as teasing people who go to temples and sit there with friends thinking that they should have fun. Therefore, the above things must be complied with.
