Lord Shiva's Archana with Bilva Patra
Lord Shiva is the third deity in the Hindu
trilogy, along with Lord Brahma and Vishnu. He is the destroyer
of all evil, and the one who bestows the greatest blessings when
pleased. The month of Shravan is dedicated to Lord Shiva and
performing any Puja and Homam during this period is considered
most auspicious and beneficial.
The Shrawan
Maas ( Month ) is the 5th month in the Hindu Calendar. During
this month, the Nakshatra Shravan is the ruling Star on full
Moon day and therefore this month has been named as Shravan.
This entire month is dedicated to Lord Shiva and worshipping him
during this month is said to bring most Auspicious results and
blessings of Lord Shiva. By worshipping Lord Shiva during the
month of Shravan, a person gets
good health, wealth and happiness. He is protected from all
kinds of Evil effects and Enemies.
The most
auspicious way of worshipping Lord Shiva is by performing Archana of Bilva leaves, of the Tree known as Bilva Tree. This is
a sacred Tree and is very dear to Lord Shiva. A confluence of
three leaves of Bilva Tree is called Bilva Dal which is said to
be a representation of Lord Shiva's weapon Trident (Trishul).
The Bilva Tree has been praised and mentioned in
various Vedic Texts to mention a few as :
1. In chapter
1.1.21 of Shiva Purana, Sage Romaharshana explains to other
sages of Naimishaaranya as follows :
A Bilva fruit is supposed to be an embodiment and manifest form
of Lord Shiva himself. It is believed that all the places of
pilgrimage dwell at the base of the Bilva Tree.
2. In the well-known Bilva Ashtakam, a lot has been
emphasized about offering even a single leaf of Bilva to Lord
Shiva especially during the Shravan month.
3. The Shree Suktam dedicated to Goddess Lakshmi ji mentioned as
follows :
"Aadityavarne
Tapasodhijaato Vanaspatistava Vrukshotha Bilvaha Tasya Falaani
Tapasaa Nudantu Mayanta Raayashcha Baahya Alakshmihi"
Oh Goddess Lakshmi, you are as bright as the Sun, the sacred
Tree of Bilva was brought forth by your dedicated tapasya. May
this Tree remove my internal and external misfortunes and
poverty.
4. In
Mahalakshmi Ashtotra Shatnama Stotram, Goddess Lakshmi ji
has been named as Bilva Nilayam which means the one who resides
in the Bilva Tree.
