Jai Shiv Shambhu! A very Happy Maha Shivratri to you as well Shruti and to all on our Forum.

I woke up early to do my pooja, did a home version of Abhishekh, Shivji's arti and stuti and the rest of my prayers. Now at work, I am fasting. I can't do it without anything all day so will be eating fruits mainly and yoghurt etc. At night I shall have "farahar" (don't know what others call this but this is what we call it in Gujarati), i.e. potatoes cooked with only limited spice with just tomatoes, plain crisps:)

It's difficult here in the UK for me as ~I don't have any immediate family in this town and with work as well so unfortunately won't get a chance to go to the temple(:, if I was back home in Kenya (where I'm from) or India (where majority of the family is), it would be so amazing so feeling a bit nostalgic.

well...

i woke up,had a bath-im on Fasting today only Fruit and Milk,and did the Shiva Abhishek at home itself,and then we did Shiv Sahartanaam during the abhishek,a 1008 Shiva name with the Om Namah Shivah Jaap..

In offerings it was of basically of wild fruits like bel,jaamun etc with the regular Bel Patri

we werent able to go to the temple,but the Pooja at home was very nice...specially since you do it youreself

Its my first full on Shivratri Vrat...i.e fasting,earlier my mom never allowed me to do it she didnt think i could manage it,now she did...and trust me,its such a nice good feeling im feeling purified and really good...

i may stay up all night lets see...

May Shiv Ji Bless everyone!

Happy MahaShivRatri!

I have a holiday today. Did pooja & abhisheka at home. then did path of Rudra-ashtadhyayi. Am fasting on milk & fruit. But one thing if possible please try to watch on some regional channels, all Kannada, Gujarati, Marathi, any surf & check after 11.00pm they show all 12 jyotirlinga live. The best scene is I've seen a year before, is all 12 Jyotirlinga are shown being offered pooja in a single frame, it's an amazing sight. Only Kedarnath's temple is closed so they show the temple. Please see😊
