Sawan 2025 Shivling: Should RO water be offered on Shivling or not? If you want to please Bholenath, do Jalabhishek in this way..

Sawan Month 2025: The month of Sawan has started from today, and this month is important from a religious point of view. The month of Sawan is dedicated to Lord Shiva. During this entire month, offering water on the Shivling, Rudrabhishek, and fasting have special significance. It is believed that worshipping Lord Shiva with full rituals in Sawan liberates one from all sins. Many people offer water on the Shivling every day in the month of Sawan. Offering Gangajal on the Shivling is considered the most sacred. However, in big cities, many people also offer RO water on the Shivling. Now, the question is whether RO water should be offered on the Shivling or not? Let us know what the rule is according to the scriptures.

In Hindu scriptures, Gangajal is considered the most sacred for anointing the Shivling. If Gangajal is not available, then Lord Shiva can also be anointed with clean river, well, or pure drinking water. It is clearly stated in the scriptures that water should have life-giving power. This water should not only be pure, but it should also have natural properties. RO water goes through a process of filtration, in which dissolved minerals like calcium and magnesium are removed from the water. This water is drinkable, but its natural properties are reduced.

It is said in the scriptures that water purified by a chemical process should not be offered to the gods. RO water should be avoided from being offered on the Shivling, because this water is deprived of natural properties. Shiva element is connected to nature, and the water offered to him should also be natural. If no other pure water is available apart from RO water, then RO water can be made pure by adding some Ganga water or Tulsi to it. Clean water from a hand pump can also be used in Jalabhishek. There is also a tradition of offering milk, curd, honey, ghee, Ganga water, coconut water, and flowers on the Shivling in the month of Sawan. All these things are considered to be related to life and are also dear to Shiva.
