What is Shivanga Sadhana? 

Sadhana Details

SADHANA GUIDELINES

<ul>
 <li>This&nbsp;sadhana&nbsp;is only for gents.</li>
 <li>The Rudraksha mala with the Dhyanalinga pendant should be worn around the neck during the sadhana period.</li>
 <li>The black cloth should be tied on the upper right arm. It can be rinsed in plain water while bathing.</li>
 <li>Vibhuti should be applied between the eyebrows, at the pit of the throat, behind the ears, on the solar plexus and just below the navel.</li>
 <li>Shiva Namaskar (a practice taught during initiation) should be done with devotion 21 times a day, either before sunrise or after sunset on an empty stomach.</li>
 <li>Only 2 meals can be had during the day. The first meal should be taken after 12 PM / noon.</li>
 <li>Soak 8-10 peppercorns along with 2-3 vilva leaves in honey, and a handful of groundnuts in water overnight. In the morning, on an empty stomach, chew the leaves. After completing the daily Shivanga sadhana, add lemon juice to the peppercorn-honey mixture and consume. Consume the soaked groundnuts also.</li>
 <li>Shower/bath should be taken twice a day. Herbal bathing powder (snanam podi) can be used instead of soap.</li>
 <li>Whites or light color clothing can be worn during the Sadhana period.</li>
 <li>During the period of the Sadhana, smoking, consuming alcohol and eating non-vegetarian food are not allowed.</li>
 <li>Instead of asking for Biksha (alms) as part of the sadhana, you can skip a meal and contribute to - <a href="https://prs.innerengineering.com/ieo/newadmin/forms/donate.php?appType=23&amp;curr=USD" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Annadanam</a> - the offering of food, to someone.</li>
