SRI SOMA SUNTHARESWAR POURNAMI ABISHEKAM 6.30PM* Lord
Shiva is the Absolute that has no form nor attributes. The mind of
man cannot grasp one which has no form. Man likes to pray to God, to
supplicate to Him, and to desire ultimate union with Him to enjoy eternal
bliss. To satisfy this desire on the part of man, Lord Shiva is
conceived of in three aspects: the formless, the formless-form, and the
form. |
These three are called the arupa, ruparupa and rupa aspects. The arupa aspect is the All-pervasive, All-knowing one, who is beyond the sensory perception of man. The ruparupa aspect is the Shivalinga. This is not any manifested form of Lord Shiva, nor is it formless, because we do worship to a concrete object called shivalingam.
The Shivalinga form is generally the one to which puja is offered in personal worship or in public temple worship. The rupa aspect is the manifest forms of Lord Shiva, such as the Chandrasekhara, Bhiksatana, Daksinamurti and the like. These forms are said to have been assumed by Lord Shiva on different occasions for conferring His Grace on devotees. Worshiping the ruparupa form of Lord Shiva (the Shivalinga) especially on Pournami (full moon) is significant and auspicious.
