Fasting on Pradosham days is a must for every shaivite. one can realise the importance of Dharma by this pradosham worship . Pournami days are important for 'Girivalam' at Thiruvannamalai ( one of the pancha bhootha sthala , Agni ). Our Ancestors lived a happier and better life because they walked in the path of Dharma. The Shiva Temples all over India and especially the temples in South India are a good example of the rule of Dharma.

Following the path of Dharma requires courage , as it will not be a easy road.Today's world is cursed , and Adharma has become a way of life. Man eating Man is common . Adharma will prevail only for a brief period . Giving or accepting Bribes is a serious form of Adharma, and every Shaivite must take a vow to eradicate this social evil.

A Shaivite who fasts on Pradosham days will realise the importance of food ,and at the end of the fast , he will know about the work he has to put to earn that food. Providing food to a hungry man is the best form of Dharma in this world. At the same time, one must also be careful not to encourage beggary .

' EE ena Erathal Izhindhadhu , EE yen endral Adhaninum Izhindhadhu'

meaning

Begging is bad , and not providing the beggar is worse.

' Kol ena koduthal uyarndhadhu, Kollen enbadhu adhaninum uyarndhadhu'

To provide the needy before they ask is Good, and to Deny it with Self respect is the Best act.

Thus a Self respecting individual will not take bribes and will perform his duties as per rule.ie Dharma.

Imagine a whole Government working on the principles of Dharma , no bribes , people helping each other , no quarrels , no fights , no cheating, police officers doing community service. Such a system can be achieved only if the Dharma (Shiva ) in every individual is awakened. Visit the nearest temple ( if its is shiva temple , it will be special ) on pradosham days and you will be blessed.
