🔱 What Is 4 Prahar Rudrabhishek Pujan?
The night of Maha Shivratri is divided into four prahars.
In each prahar, the mind goes through one phase of purification:
-
Tamo-nivṛtti → Rajo-nivṛtti → Sattva-prasāda → Shiva-tattva-prasphuṭana
According to Shiva Purana – Kotirudra Samhita:
“Caturbhiḥ praharebhyaśca rudrābhiṣeko mahāphalaḥ.”
Rudrabhishek performed in all four prahars grants immense spiritual merit.
Our temple follows the traditional 4-phase Rudra path, with the complete shodashopchar system.

3️⃣ (Milk + Water) Abhishekam in Every Prahar
The abhishekam is performed only with:
✔ Milk – signifying purity and surrender
✔ Ganga Jal (Water) – signifying inner cleansing
As described in the Linga Purana:
“Kṣīraṁ śānti-karaṁ nityaṁ, jalaṁ pāpa-praṇāśanam.”
Milk offers peace; water destroys sins.
This combination purifies:

Mind

Atma-karma
-
Graha dosha effects

Emotional disturbances
Each abhishekam is accompanied by continuous Rudra chanting.
4️⃣ Rudra Chanting (Namakam + Chamakam)

Healing

Strength

Fulfilment of desires
From Yajurveda – Rudradhyaya:
“Namaste Rudra manyava utota iṣave namaḥ.”
This is considered the most auspicious sound vibration of Mahadeva.
5️⃣ Maha Aarti in Every Prahar
Aarti illuminates the mind with Shiva’s energy.
As Agni Purana states:
“Dīpa-darśanam puṇyaṁ pāpaghnaṁ sarvakāmadaṁ.”
