The Abhishekam water or other articles used for Abhishekam are considered very sacred and bestow immense benefits on the devotees who take it as the Lord’s Prasaad. When Rudra is recited only once, the different articles of Abhishek are made use of after every stanza of the Rudram. After every Abhishek, pure water is poured over the head of Shiva Ling. Gangaa water, milk, ghee, honey, rose-water, coconut water, sandal paste, Panchaamrit, scented oil, sugarcane juice and lime juice are made use of for Abhishekam. In Ekaadash-Rudram Abhishek, every Rudram is chanted with distinctive articles for Abhishek. On these days, devotees of Shiv worship him with special Poojaa, Abhishekam with Ekaadash Rudra, Archanaa, offering plenty of Prasaad, and illumination. Monday is very important day for Shiv and the 13th day of the fortnight ( Pradosh) is very sacred. During Shiva Abhishekam Rudra, Purusha Suktam, Chamakam, Maha Mrityunjaya mantra etc, are chanted in a particular rhythm and order. Without Abhishekam, worship of Shiv is incomplete. The external Abhishekam with various objects will help the growth of devotion and adoration for Shiv and eventually lead to internal Abhishekam with pure abundant flow of love.Ībhishek is a part of Shiv Poojaa. The greatest and the highest Abhishekam is to pour the waters of pure love on the Aatm Ling of the lotus of the heart. Shiva drank the poison that emanated from the churning of the ocean of milk and wore the Ganga and the Moon on his head to cool His head. Rudram is chanted along with the Abhishekam. Pouring over the Ling, water, milk, ghee, curd, honey, cocoanut water, Panchaamrit, etc, is called Abhishekam.
“Alankaarapriyo Vishnuh, Abhishekpriyah Shivah” – Vishnu is very fond of Alankaar (fine dress, beautiful ornaments, etc) Shiv is fond of Abhishek.” In Shiv temples, a pot made up of copper or brass with a hole in the center is kept hanging over the image or Ling of Shiv, and water falls on the image throughout day and night.
