If your digestion is poor, this can affect your ability to metabolize food and burn fat. Intermittent fasts can regulate your digestion and promote healthy bowel function, thus improving your metabolic function.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1457178364769","data":"56dac71933032"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1457178202177","data":" Jagaran<\/b><\/i>: Devotees vigil all night, the pooja of lord Shiva is initiated from the evening and lasts all night. The night is divided into 4 quarters. It is believed that anyone who utters the name of Shiva, during Shivratri, with pure devotion, is freed from all sins. He or she reaches the abode of Shiva and is liberated from the cycle of birth and death. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1457178391245","data":"56dac7336b68d"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1457178232001","data":" Bel leaf:<\/b><\/i> One of the main components in the Shivalinga\u2019s ritualistic worship is Bel leaf.

Since Shiva is the deity of Dissolution, the pindi (linga) is not offered milk, Panchamrut, vermilion (kumkum), turmeric powder and akshata (unbroken rice grains), as these represent the principles of Sustenance or Creation, which are usually offered to Lord Vishnu. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1457178443887","data":"56dac760ba4f7"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1457178288712","data":"Circumambulation( Pradakshina)<\/b><\/i>: Circumambulation around the Shivalinga should begin from the left side, till the Shalunka's extended outlet, through which the continuous stream of water (Abhishek) flows. Then one turns back without crossing the starting point and completes the circumambulation in the reverse direction. The reason for not crossing the extended portion of the shalunka is that the energy flow at that point has an adverse effect on the production of semen and the five internal vital energies namely Pran, Saman, Apaan, Udan and Vyan in our body.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1457178462583","data":"56dac77977ded"}]
