REGARDING TULSI: Hi everybody. I really appreciate all of the kind comments and the positive feedback in the video. I realize I made a mistake in the video and added tulsi into the parsad plate to be offered to Shiva. My apologies if I have confused or offended anyone. Please be advised when preparing for your Shiva or Ganesh puja that Tulsi is not offered to either of them. We are all human and make mistakes sometimes. Thank you for your understanding. 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thank you Matthew. I'm sure you were trying so hard to make this video perfect! And it was a minor oversight, so not worry we always have EXTRA STUFF IN OUR TARIE or FOIL PAN THAT WE DO NOT USE! We are so used to setting up our puja place and making sure everything is available "just in case". You are Fine 🙏. Thank you again in reminding all of us how SIMPLE IT IS TO PRAY AND PERFORM PUJA IN IT'S SIMPLEST FORM. JAI BHOLENAUTH🙏🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌿🌿🌿🙏
You should not offer tulsi to any God too ecsept lord Vishnu, lord Krishna, lord Rama and other forms or incarnations of lord Vishnu. Thankyou Har Har Mahadev

10 stars for you Matthew.so organized..well put together..Lord Shiva's blessings to you...Happy Maha Shiva Ratri to all Hindus and non- Hindus across the globe...
Awesome explanations n presentation. This way how to set up for any Puja has not been something easily known to many of us. Taking the time to present n share such important practice in our Sanatan Dharm will surely help enlighten, n ofcourse, be beneficial for fellow Hindus. Myself, who do not know much n keen on learning. Everything you do here, gives the opportunity to be able to learn these steps inside the comfort of our own homes. A blessing indeed. You have done great. Thank you so very much for your time, presentation on the preparations for Maha Shiva's Puja. May Lord Shiva always bless you, abundantly. Om Namah Shivaya🙏
Thank you Matthew for this amazing and beautiful video. MahaShivratri is one of our favorite celebration. May the blessings of Lord Shiva always stay with you and your family. 😊😊
Thanks Matthew ji. You're amazing 👏 💖 ❤ 💗. Blessings to you and your family 👪. Love the puja set up. So good forcthe younger generation. The pandemic is very bad but brought our hindu community to learn so much in depth of out celebration. Om Namah 🕉 Shiva
Hi Matthew very good video I also make my parsad and sweet I’m a devout Hindu and I always looked forward to this festival to you and your family have a blessed Maha Shiv Ratri enjoy your weekend and stay safe bye.
@@bird2428 I have Maha Lakshmi, Durga, Satyanarayan, puja to different gods and goddesses, and Shiva/Hanuman individually. I also have Surya and Nav Graha.
Such an awesome presentation bro! I really like it. Thanks for sharing. I was really i need of this. Can u tell me wat u do with all these offerings once the pooja is done.
Thank you for watching and for enjoying! We take all of the natural/biodegradable products (the leaves, flowers, and fruits/parsad) to the beach and release them in the water. Any cloth or nonbiodegradable items we usually leave by our flags in the yard. Such as cloth
@@matthewsguyanesecooking4601 Sita ram, lord shiva killed tulsi ranis husband and she cursed him that her leaves would never be used in his worship or lord Ganeshas 🤗
In retrospect it was an oversight on my part. I apologize if I offended anybody. I am learning just like many people. Thank you for being respectful and kind and giving me a tip as well.
You have done a splinded job on your preparation and explanation of Maha shivaratri . 😊 well done especially for the young generation of Hindus in the North American society . Congrats much appreciated . Ps. I think you have now graduate from chef to pandit ji . 😊 (joke ).
Hi Mathew you are doing such a beautiful setting up for lord shiva puja Do you have any mother Latchmi puja set up ❤. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Matthew, what a great video. Your descriptions were well done! I have a quick question, I just got a new lingam and Shiva murti but my pandit is unavailable to bless them. Can I still use them for my setup or do I have to do a ritual first?
Thank you for watching. So this is a small ritual that we do. Everybody does this differently though just letting you know. You can do this as per your own preferences. You bathe the murti with water. There is a mantra, but I am not 100% sure of it. You can say it in English by letting him know he is in his new home, (say the address and name of you/family, or just your name). And just verbally welcome him into your home and altar. Wash him water and dry him with off. When placing him in the alter or give him a seat you say "awahaiami stapaiami Jai Shiva Shankar" or whichever god/goddess you're installing in your altar. If you have clothing or a cloth then dress him. If you have a mala, put it on. Offer chandhan, perfume, sing/play a bhajan, say any prayers of your desire and offer parsad, fruits, flowers, etc. Same goes for the Lingam. Remember there are always prayers you can say of rituals you can do. However, you do what it is that you desire, what you can, and what is in your heart. Hope this helps. Blessings to you.
We usually take some parsad out and put into the paan leaf and then put it in front of the murti when the puja goes on. Different methods and traditions.
Hi I need some advice, I have recently got into Hinduism. I have a God Ganesh statue and altar. But wasn't sure which way to go Lord Shiva or Lord Krishna. As I respect all. I'm a spiritual medium and recently Lord Shiva keeps popping through to listen and be there for me when I'm really struggling. I remembered three past lives from the age of 4 and 6 years old. The three past lives were extremely hard to get my head around for years. Would you say Lord Shiva has stepped forward to guide me further? As I'm totally confused. Blessings sent your way and thank you for reading my comment. 🙏🙏 xx
Hi there. Thank you for watching. I have all of them in my altar and different ones in the Hindu pantheon. If you are interested in finding out who your main God is or your guide then reach out to your Pandit or Priest and ask them to guide you and let you know. If you ever have any questions, please let me know but I am also not a Priest so I don't have a lot of the answers.
Im Jewish but Shiva came to me during my meditation with my tuning forks. Can anyone please explain why Shiva would come to me becase I knew nothing of this Hindu God? If anyone has any input as to why he would come directly to me please let me know. He did stay for about 15 minutes and we did conversaste about why he came to planet earth. Can anyone explain??? Please only positive comments.
Thank you for watching. This one is actually a new one. Usually they don't stay this shiny sadly. Usually to shine them I rub them with lime and rinse or you can even rub ketchup on them and let it soak then wash.
Why will God when food that don't sound right. Hindu deities are for guidance to spirituality. Hinduism is a culture not a religion. Lord shiva probably will be happy with people if they help those who are less fortunate on his day. Check out SADHGURU TALK it will expand your knowledge of our culture
Everyone has their own belief and preparation in worshiping the Gods, clean heart and sincere Bhava, Gods will accept. I prepare everything like Matthew. I understand what you mean though. 🙏
Maybe your commendable efforts here of spiritual advancement (Bhakti) will inspire your family members whom you have cooked beef for in the past to stop eating it. Lord Shiva rides on Nandi, a bull, and Sri Krishna is called Govinda, the protector of cows. Thus, it would be in their best interest spiritually to do so. 🙏🏼
I thought your not supposed to use coconut water for shiva , use it for Lakshmi . Same with Turmeric I thought your not supposed to use it as a offering to Shiva .
Of course. This is an idea only and what my family usually does. This is for a special occasion, you do not need these items on a regular basis to pray. You can pray without anything or even just a flower.
On one side he is where he got inspired from sanatan dharm in foreign On other hand there are rice bag converters n people who accepted a religion to live so called shantipriya mazhab
Traditionally our East Indian ancestors sat on the floor to eat. Modern times everyone sits at a table. However, when you do puja you are supposed to sit on the floor and have God raised (thats why you put the murtis on a chowki/surface or bedi that's slightly elevated from the floor). This shows that God is higher than you. And usually when people have jhandi or puja everyone would sit and eat on the floor.
@@Gemz0001 Remember God is everywhere. A murti is just a physical representation of God. You can look anywhere when you pray, again, God is present everywhere.

Matthew, what a great video. Your descriptions were well done!
I have a quick question, I just got a new lingam and Shiva murti but my pandit is unavailable to bless them. Can I still use them for my setup or do I have to do a ritual first?
Thank you for watching. So this is a small ritual that we do. Everybody does this differently though just letting you know. You can do this as per your own preferences.
You bathe the murti with water. There is a mantra, but I am not 100% sure of it. You can say it in English by letting him know he is in his new home, (say the address and name of you/family, or just your name). And just verbally welcome him into your home and altar.
Wash him water and dry him with off. When placing him in the alter or give him a seat you say "awahaiami stapaiami Jai Shiva Shankar" or whichever god/goddess you're installing in your altar.
If you have clothing or a cloth then dress him. If you have a mala, put it on. Offer chandhan, perfume, sing/play a bhajan, say any prayers of your desire and offer parsad, fruits, flowers, etc.
Same goes for the Lingam.
Remember there are always prayers you can say of rituals you can do. However, you do what it is that you desire, what you can, and what is in your heart.
Hope this helps. Blessings to you.
Thank you sir

Don’t forget when preparing prasham tali it’s always important to lay a paan leave first in your tali then all the prashadam🙏

What u do with the perasad u offeru eat or take it to the water or eat
We mix it with the rest of the parsad we made and share out to guests.
I thought your not supposed to use coconut water for shiva , use it for Lakshmi . Same with Turmeric I thought your not supposed to use it as a offering to Shiva .
Coconut water is always an offering we use for Shiva Lingam puja. And for Shiva I was told not to use sindoor
If I don’t have all of these items can I still offer Puja to lord shiva
Of course. This is an idea only and what my family usually does. This is for a special occasion, you do not need these items on a regular basis to pray. You can pray without anything or even just a flower.
