How can one please Lord Shiva and how should he be worshipped?

 To please Lord Shiva, these measures can be adopted:

Get up early in the morning, take a bath and wear clean clothes.

  • Light a lamp in the temple of the house.
  • Offer water, sandalwood, akshat, bilva leaves, dhatura, milk, and Gangajal on the Shivling.
  • Offer Bel leaves and flowers to Lord Shiva.
  • Offer Prasad made of ghee, sugar, and wheat flour to Lord Shiva.
  • Recite the Shiv Raksha Stotra.
  • Wear white, green, yellow, or sky blue clothes while worshipping the Shivling.
  • Worship Shiva on special days like Monday, Masik Shivratri, Pradosh Vrat, and Mahashivratri.
  • After worshipping the Shivling, light a ghee lamp in front of Nandi Ji.
  • Do the Aarti of Nandi Maharaj and speak your wish in the ears of Nandi without talking to anyone.

It is believed that by doing this, Lord Shiva becomes happy and fulfills the wishes of the devotees.
