Description
Purpose of Neelkanth Puja
Neelkanth meaning the one with a blue throat, is an aspect of Lord Shiva who is the Supreme protector. The legend says that when the churning of oceans ““ Samudra Manthan – took place in the month of Shravan, fourteen different types of exotic items came out came out. Thirteen of these were distributed amongst the demons, except Halahal (poison). Lord Shiva drank the Halahal and stored it in his throat. Hence the name Neelkantha (meaning blue throat) is attributed to Shiva. To reduce the strong effect of poison, Lord Shiva wore the crescent moon on his head. All the Gods, thereafter started offering Ganges water to cool Lord Shiva and to alleviate the ill effects of the poison. Since, this happened in the month of Shravana, Shiva devotees offer Abhishekam (ritual bathing) to Lord Shiva in this month. By the power of Lord Neelkanth, sick become well, the unmarried find ideal mates, debts are removed, wealth & power is showered and death is evaded. Through worship of Lord Neelkanth, one is blessed with protection, health, wealth and prosperity.
