"Offer this inner worship to Lord Shiva daily: “I worship
the jewel of my Self, the Shiva residing in the Lotus of my
heart. I bathe Him with the water of my pure mind brought
from the river of faith and devotion. I worship Him with the
fragrant flowers of Samadhi—all this so that I may not be
born again in this world.” Swami Sivananda <<More>>

 Primary
Yogasana (Yoga Postures) - The Physical techniques of Yoga
are the stepping stones to meditation. According to
Patanjali, Yoga is the cessation of the modifications of the
mind.In the beginning the primary prerequisite to peace of mind is posture. Yogasana practiced to gain steady posture, health and lightness in the body. All Yoga postures are intended to directly or indirectly quiet the mind. The majority of Asana have been devised to build up different parts of the body and to develop the strength required by the more advanced Physical disciplines. The purpose of the yogasana is to recondition the system, both mind and body, and to develop the nervous and glandular systems. The different Yoga postures have been devised to bring a rich supply of blood to the brain and to the various parts of the spinal column. The yogasana work by stretching, bending and twisting the spinal column in different directions to promote the health of the nerves. When the body is purified, Prana (vital energy) can be conserved and the individual becomes healthy and conscious. << More>>

Sadhana should be as much a part of your daily life as eating, drinking and breathing. Disharmony of thought, word and deed is the cause for all troubles, miseries and quarrels in this world. Soak your life with remembrance of Lord. Dedicate your all to Him. See Him in everyone. If any one proves to be faithless to you, be faithful to him always. If you are truthful and pure in your daily life, you will inherit the Kingdom of God.
Forget and forgive. You will have peace. You,
will become divine.

"The
formal worship consists of bathing the Lord. Lord Shiva is
considered to be the Form of Light (which the Shiva Lingam
represents). He is burning with the fire of austerity. He is
therefore best propitiated with cool bathing. While bathing
the Lingam the devotee prays: “O Lord! I will bathe Thee
with water, milk, etc. Do Thou kindly bathe me with the milk
of wisdom. Do Thou kindly wash me of all my sins, so that
the fire of worldliness which is scorching me may be put out
once for all, so that I may be one with Thee—the One alone
without a second.”
