Siva Puja. Without Abhisheka,
worship of Siva is incomplete. During Abhisheka Rudra, Purushasukta,
Chamaka,
Maha-mrityunjaya Japa,
etc., are chanted in a particular rhythm and order. Monday is very
important day
for Lord Siva and the thirteenth day of the fortnight (Pradosha) is
very sacred.
On these days, devotees of Siva worship Him with special Puja,
Abhisheka with
Ekadasa-Rudra, Archana, offering plenty of Prasad and illumination."<br>
</p>
<p> </p>
<p>"The greatest and the highest Abhisheka is to pour the waters
of pure love on
the Atmalinga of the lotus of the heart. The external Abhisheka with
various
objects will help the growth of devotion and adoration for Lord Siva
and
eventually lead to internal Abhisheka with pure abundant flow of love."

Sankirtan is singing God's name with Bhava, Prem or divine feeling.
Sankirtan is the Svarupa (essential nature) of God. Dhvani is
Sankirtan. Sankirtan is the essence of the Vedas. Sankirtan removes the
impurities of the mind (Mala); it steadies the mind and checks its
tendency to vacillate (Vikshepa); and ultimately it tears the veil of
ignorance too (Avarana), and brings the Sadhaka (aspirant) face to face
with God." - Swami Sivananda </p>

Addict? <br>
Certainly, Systemic approach through Yogic Treatment could cure the
addiction. <br>
<b>Yogic Treatment </b><u1:p></u1:p><br>
The addict gets a wonderful help from Yoga.
Yoga has really
proved very helpful. It releases an addict from his addiction gradually
that
too, this is achieved with such an ease that the addict hardly comes to
know where from he has inherited the new life. Spring follows the
winter
slowly and
adorns the whole world. Similarly in the life of an addict Yoga-abhyas
instills
new consciousness, new enthusiasm, fullness and the most important
matter is
that Yoga-abhyas creates an irrepressible desire to live his life
fully......Swami Adhyatmananda<a
