The scientific and spiritual reasons behind offering water on the Shivling on Mahashivratri are surprising, linked to the 'Third Eye,' and shrouded in mystery!

While offering water or milk on the Shivling on Mahashivratri may seem like a common ritual, the truth is that it's not just about pleasing Lord Shiva but also about connecting the energy of the chakras in your body with the energy of Lord Shiva. How does this happen and what is the spiritual reason behind offering water on the Shivling? Let's find out everything...

Although offering water to Lord Shiva is essential for completing worship, there is a special significance to offering water or milk on Mahashivratri. Offering water on the Shivling is not just a superstition but behind it, there are many scientific, religious, and spiritual arguments and benefits. So, let's know...

It is believed that offering water on the Shivling destroys all the negative energies present there. According to mythological stories, when Lord Shiva drank poison, his head became hot, which the deities cooled by pouring water on his head. If we see its symbolic meaning, we find that this water cools down the negative emotions present within you.

Spiritual benefits of offering water on the Shivling

According to spirituality, all our actions are stored in the Swadhisthana Chakra. Therefore, whenever we do something wrong, it fills this chakra with negative energy. This chakra is made of the water element, and a person's individual, health, wealth, and spiritual progress are based on the water element. When a person pours water on the Shivling, the water element present in their Swadhisthana chakra merges with the water offered on the Shivling along with chanting, and the impurities of negative water elements present in their Swadhisthana chakra are purified. The purity of the Swadhisthana Chakra brings all the benefits of this chakra to the person. His mental, spiritual, and physical upliftment also happens.

Spirituality believes that offering water on the Shivling is also connected to the secret of the person's five elements, chakras, and the energy of Shiva-Shakti. The Ajna Chakra is located at the front of our head and is called the third eye. This place is considered the base of Lord Shiva. The Sahasrara Chakra located above it is also connected to the Ajna Chakra. Both these chakras are a source of joy. When we pour water on the Shivling, in a subtle form, we worship Lord Shiva present in these two chakras inside us, and we also purify our five elements. The cooling of the Shivling also purifies the chakras in our body.

The scientific reason for offering water on the Shivling

Studies have found that the highest radiation is found on all Jyotirlingas. A Shivling is filled with radioactive energy like a nuclear reactor, and to keep this destructive energy calm, water is continuously poured on the Shivling. The water poured on the Shivling also becomes reactive, so it is not crossed. It is also believed that the water poured on the Shivling, when mixed with flowing river water, takes the form of medicine.
