Why should we Use Bel Leaves during Shiva Pujan?

Lord Shiva fulfills the wishes of his devotees if worshipped with Bel leaves. It is believed, that Lord Shiva resides in the roots of Bel Patra tree. A person who gives water or Ganga Jal to the tree of Bel, he achieves the virtues of visiting all pilgrimages. He receives happiness in this Lok and goes to Shiva Lok after death. If Devotees perform Puja and Abhishek of lord Shiva during shravan month by offering Bel leaf, sins of three births are removed.

Rudrabhishek during Shravan Month

Maha rudrabhishek along with Yagna is performed during the pious sawan month. Lord Shiva is worshiped in his Rudra form, is hailed by all vedic scriptures as one of the greatest Poojas to remove all evils, to attain all desires and for all round prosperity.
Rudrabhisheka is a form of ritual worship in which a Shivalinga is bathed in water which is continuously poured over it, to the accompaniment of the chanting of the vedic mantra called the Rudra Suktha. Abhisheka is the worshiping ritual of the God in which substances like Cow’s milk, Ghee (clarified butter), curds (Yogurt), honey, finely ground sugar, sugar cane juice, coconut water, water, rice and similar items, which are believed to be dearer to Shiva are poured on the Shiva Linga.
More than 101 Vedic Brahmin Pandits assemble and perform the Abhishek of Shivling. The Abhishek Starts with the Ganesh Laxmi pujan in the morning. Through out the day the Abhishek of Shivlinga is done with various substances as mentioned above. Thereafter the Bhavya Shringaar of Shivlinga is done with the Lotus flowers and Bilva Patra. At the end of Yagya 108 Divya Aartis is performed. This yagya gives a miracle result to bestow prosperity, fulfillment, and removal of negativities, purify the negative karma & give the protection in life. The whole event is concluded by Pandits and devotees taking Prasaad.
The Maha Rudrabhishek is particularly performed during shravan month for the sake of washing away one’s sins and afflictions, for bringing peace, prosperity and happiness, along with family togetherness. Rudrabhishek protects devotees from evil forces & possible dangers.
