BILWA PATRA ARCHANA
Lord Shiva has bestowed the greatest blessings when pleased.
The month of Shravan is dedicated to Lord Shiva and performing any Puja during
this period is considered auspicious and beneficial. By worshipping Lord Shiva
a person gets good health, wealth, and happiness. He is protected from all kinds
of evil effects and enemies. This Puja can also be performed on Maha Shivratri
and during Pradosh or on any other auspicious day.
The most auspicious way of worshipping Lord Shiva is by
performing an Archana of Bilva leaves. This is a sacred tree and is very dear to
Lord Shiva. A confluence of three leaves of Bilva is called Bilva Dal which is
said to be a representation of Lord Shiva's three eyes. It is believed that all
the places of pilgrimage dwell at the base of the Bilva Tree.
