Re: How can one pray to Shiva?
Pranam adevotee108
mere act off going to the temple, prostrating in front off the deities, bringing gift, offering,serving these are all form off prayers. in this age off Kali the best form off worship is said to be chanting off Holy names, here you do not require any translations but off course when it comes to communication it is best done in our own mother tongue.
official puja and yagna, are done by the priest in Sanskrit, the language off the Devas, that should not stop us praying in our own tongue.
when i go to the temple i remain silent, in the knowledge that he, the Antaryami, knows my desires. why ask when i know he fulfills our desires.
Just chant that's what i do.
Jai Shree Krishna

Rig Veda list only 33 devas, they are all propitiated, worthy off our worship, all other names of gods are derivative from this 33 originals,
Bhagvat Gita; Shree Krishna says Chapter 3.11 devan bhavayatanena te deva bhavayantu vah parasparam bhavayantah sreyah param avapsyatha Chapter 17.4 yajante sattvika devan yaksa-raksamsi rajasah pretan bhuta-ganams canye yajante tamasa janah
The world disappears in him. He is the peaceful, the good, the one without a second.
