' Nandi Pandharavada'

This year, ' Maha-Shivratri' is on 10 March 2013 Sunday.

The total period of 15 days around  ' Maha-Shivratri '  i.e. 8 days before ' Maha-Shivratri ' and 8 days after ' Maha-Shivratri 'is called as ' Nandi Pandharavada'

( In Marathi, ' Pandharavada ' means 15 days ).ie from 3 March 2013-16 March 2013 the shivpanchakshar Stotram can be chanted as many times as wanted in the whole day.

Nandi was ' Rhishi ' and he worshipped ' Param Shiv' during this period. Therefore, this period is very important.

 

Nandi has written  ' Shiv Panchakshar Stotra ' and has also given us the  ' Jap ' '' Namah Shivay '' .

 
' Nandi Pandharavada'  will start from  3 March2013and it will be up to - 16 March 2013 
 

P.P. BAPU told us to chant ' Shiv Panchakshar Stotram ' ( Aradhanajyoti no. 62 i.e. Nagendraharay Trilochanay ....) at least once every day during these 15 days. The Stotra is attached with this mail.

 

We can chant it for 5 times, 11 times, 21 times, as per our convenience but at least once  ..  ' Adhikasya Adhikam Falam ' .
