Pradhosha Mahima |
|
Pradhosha
pooja is one of the most important among the poojas
performed to the Graceful Lord Shiva. In Shukla Paksha
(15 moon days from New moon to Full moon) and Krishna
Paksha (15 moon days from Full moon to New moon) the
evening of the trayodasi (thirteenth moon day) between
4.30 p.m. to 6.00 p.m. is called Pradhosha. It comes
once in fifteen moon days. Pradhosha time is especially
meant for praying Lord Shiva. Praying in that time will
free us from out sins and gives moksha finally (hence
the name Pradhosha). During pradoSha time a special type
of circumambulating called soma sUtra pradaxiNam(1) is
done. |

Once
Dhevas and Asuras using the serpent Vasuki and the hill
Mandhara were trying to get Amrutham (nectar) from the
Kseerabthi (milk ocean). Then the terrible poison
Halahalam came up. All got frightened and pleaded to
Lord Shiva for rescue. Being the peak of mercy Lord
Shiva ate that poison. Then as per His order they
resumed their effort to get Amrutham. They got it on
Dhwadhasi (twelvth moon day). Without praying and
thanking the God, by whom they got Amrutham, Devas
started dancing and celebrating their victory. On
thrayodhasi (thirteenth moon day) they realized their
sin of not praying the God and pleaded for forgiveness.
The pleased graceful Lord Shiva forgave them and danced
between the horns of the Nandhi (holy bull). That time
is called Pradhosham. Whoever prays Lord Shiva in that
time, Lord Shiva fulfills their wishes and give them
mukthi. |
