Jai Sri Ganesha,
Time to prepare one's self to enjoin the truth of divine celebration in the name of Mahashratri,
Five-day prayer is defined truth of this Shiv cult involves moderate eating, maintaining the highest pitch of silence in truth with self-introspection to reach the sanctity of self at the event,
There is no hard and fast rule to adore the cult of the day but to prevent extravaganzas of passion and undue mileage in run for life,
Let simplicity in truth with faith and reverence, no mimics to prove riches of wealth just mild oblation in the Yajna with eternal truth to make it for universal truth, indeed offering Jal on Shivlingam could be a meaningful milestone unto the subject,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks, please
