There is a continuous NATURAL source of water inside this inverse Shivling .

Vaastu-shastra

Vaastu-shastra
We have frames on d walls of our home.The frame should hav good pictures.Avoid putting frames having pictures like 'a crying woman' or 'a carnivorous animal killing his prey' or 'pictures with broken pots/vessels' .Such pictures create negative thoughts in d mind of the observer.

Mantraas

>Hari bol,Hari bol,Hari Hari bol,
Mukund Madhav Govind bol
****************************
Hanuman:

OM AI HI HANUMATE SHREE RAMADUTAAYA NAMAAH

Vaastu-shastra

At any place,d beams & pillars of a building release negative energy on us.Vaastu-shastra suggests dat shopkeepers shud not hav their cash-counters just below the beam,or close to the pillarIt can affect their business.The same is the case for STUDENTS.Do not keep ur study-table just below the beam or close to the pillar

Effect of beam/pillar on 2 members of a family:
Suppose there is a bed in a house wich is used by d husband & his wife .It shud be so placed dat d pillar/beam does not come between d 2 persons.
Effects:There may be differences of opinion,clashes .etc. between d 2 human beings.
It can also hav bad effects on d health of d people.(like weaknesses,dreams,etc.)
*************************************************************
REMEDY TO NULLIFY THE EFFECT OF PILLARS:

Arrange 2 flutes (baasri) in ' V ' shape on the pillar with the holes of the flutes facing towards us.

Shani ki Saadhe-saati

We all know about Shani's saadhe-saati.
Even other Gods had to face it.(Lord Ram ,etc.)
Lord Ganesha & Hanuman were able to escape from Shani's saadhe-saati.
So,it is beneficial to worship Hanuman & Lord Ganesha alongwith Shanidev to reduce the effects of Saadhe-saati.

To reduce the effects of Saadhe-saati :
1> Perform nau-graha pooja on Saturday.Take at least 9 oil lamps in a big plate & make as many 'ODD NUMBER of pradakshinaas' (5 or 7 or 9 or 11...) .
At the same time ,chant the mantra "OM SHAN SHANAYCHARAYA NAMAAH "

Note: I have written about odd number of pradakshinaas.
According to Hinduism, u should always make odd number of pradakshinaas. (5 or 7 or 11...)

2>Worship Hanuman & Shanidev,especially on Saturday.

3> Place black sesame (til) at Hanuman's feet & make use of a special garland "Rui ka har" for worshipping.

4> Non-vegeterians shud avoid to eat non-veg food on Saturdays .

5>Mantraas:OM SHAN SHANAYCHARAYA NAMAAH
:JAI SHANIDEV , JAI SHANIDEV ,KASHT NIVARO JAI SHANIDEV .
:JAI HANUMAN.
:JAI BAJARANG-BALI.

about Lord Ganesha's Mama/Lord Shiva's wife.

Parvati Maa (Ganapati's mother) is worshipped as Gauri in Maharashtra,Meenakshi or Amman in Madurai (Tamil Nadu) and Parvati in some other parts of the country.
All the names refer to only one Goddess (Lord Shiva's wife/Ganapati's mother).

Lord Shani

Lord Shani is the son of the 'SUN'.
Hence,he (Lord Shani ) is called "RAVI-PUTRA".

The power of ' OM '

OM is very powerful...not only for Hindus,but for everybody in this world.Whatever you join with OM will give u prosperity.

U can attach OM to dhan (wealth),health,vidhya(studies).
eg. :OM dhan,OM dhan......
OR
:OM vidhya,OM vidhya.....

Vaastu-shastra

According to Vaastu-shastra,the proper place in our home to keep our God's idols (Devaghar) is the north-east direction.A separate room for the same is even better.
Avoid to keep your Devalaya in your bedroom.If u establish your Devghar in your bedroom,make arrangement of a small curtain

About Lord Shiva

We all know that Lord Shiva is worshipped in the form of a Shivling.The part of the Shivling which has horizontal extension should point in the north direction.So,if the Shivling in your home is not the way I've mentioned,please do the needful.

About God

Lord Shiva & Hanuman are almost one and the same. (different avatars at different time)
Source:AAstha Sanskar TV.

The importance of Rudraksh

Rudraksha resembles Lord Shiva.
There are different-mukhi Rudrakshaas availabe.
Rudraksha has also got medicinal values.It purifies blood.There are many other medicinal advantages.
Real Rudrakshaas are sold at Rameshwaram (Tamil Naadu)

ituals,Mantraas,etc.

Getting birth in a Hindu family makes us 'Hindu by birth'.That is not sufficient for the rest of our life.Being grown-up individuals,every Hindu should know about our
God(s),Bhagwad Geeta,our rich Indian culture,vaastu & jyotish-shastraas,Hindu rituals,the powerful mantraas and much more.
All of us are a part of this community on Orkut because we are like-minded spiritual people.
Needless to say,I have created this topic to share our spiritual information (knowledge) with each other.
