The benefits of the Pradosha vrat are explicitly mentioned in the Skanda Purana. It is said that one who observes this revered fast with devotion and faith is bound to possess contentment, wealth and good health. This vrat is also observed for spiritual upliftment and fulfilment of one’s desires. The Pradosha vrat has been greatly lauded by the Hindu scriptures and is held very sacred for the followers of Lord Shiva.

It is a known fact that even a single glance of the deity on this propitious day will end all your sins and bestow you with bountiful blessings and good fortune. Listen to this Pradosh Stotra Ashtakam and Get the blessing of Shiv Shankar. As per Shastra you must take a vow first meaning sankalpa that you will be performing Pradosha through out life, or for 21 years, 11 years, 7 or even 3 or 1 years, nothing less than an year.

Than one has to observe fast all through out day, and worship Lord Shiva in the evening this is utmost part of Vrata, Poojan at temples in Sandhya of Pradosh is mandatory, and than one can have one grain meal, choose wheat or rice, I used to have simple Sattvic with Paratha or Puree. Once food is taken at evening after worshiping Shiva, In day time you can have only fruits. Now I used to do that when I was kind of teenager till college. Than I again started it by greater deeksha and Prashasti,

Now it is ordained to me, in gyan way, food is not imp, worship Sadhana is, I was told by Rishi, himself, that if you wont have substantial food, than worship may take back seat, I was ordained, to do extreme poojas, all through out day and night, at least three times, for me it is not only pooja at sandhya, it has to be Shiva sadhana only all through out day, which i never did, or will do, but it happens, somebody does it, inside, me, Shiva himself now worships himself, I m not found anywhere near.

As I have been ordained, I am ordered to Ordain it to eligible seekers, for those who will be ordained by me, Vrata is not necessary, in fact i say, have some food, but sattvic, like bananas which provide very good energy and than worship after sandhya worship have any food, but sattvic, without onion or garlic, Yet the Crux is you worship him as much as you can. Here also I tell a great secret and gyan again not my property it was also given by my Great Rishis. Yet this works for super extremists only, I was said, you boil a water to 20 degrees everyday, this is daily pooja it is good, very good, for elation one never shall shun it,

Yet daily pooja doesn't push you much further, you need to boil water to 100 centigrade than only it becomes steam, in same way daily pooja is good, but at least one day in month, dedicate all your energy intensity everything you have push it all together for Shiva, One can chose Pradosha as i do, or can chose Masik Shiva Ratri, that day., continue pooja, as much as you can, do mantra jaap, chant Sanskrit stotras listen to Rudra in Pavitra Awastha, than read shiva puran than do shiva poojan in evening in temple, come home start poojan again, do it, and see just if you do mechanically even the Jeeva would starts evaporating becoming pure bliss of "me ness" silence. and Greater Shivatva.

Those who want enlightenment, there has to be a day, where you go to your extremes as much as you can, for that, I say, food but sattvic can be taken, Shastra says, or say declares,. before great tapas, Long Yagna Or Long Sadhana one shall have light but energetic food so he can maintain energy needed to chant mantras, read stotras. At first for a year, i would not make it hustling, but when i see shishya can do more, than I will suggest, take one day at least in month, good if you take two, and I say not more than two, but two days in month, simply name it for Shiva that day nothing but Shakti Shiva, among three sixty five days, if one can not invest mere 24 for his enlightenment, then he is wasting time.

I don't say start now, do Pradosh for a year as I say, this will make your being high enough, to go for all day pooja, as much as you can. And more Shishya is willing more, I will give personal time, or even can be with shishya too. I care for intensity, i could not understand what my guru gets elating me, but now i do, how fulfilled and good masters feel just seeing shishya elated, becoming aloof Gyani, and complete in themselves so that they can guide others too.

This is something about Pradosha the way I do or say the way I was ordained to do it, This pooja is most powerful i say, read the Kathas of Pradosha and see how great tremendous benefits it gives, Specially for sansari Jeeva's who want Bhog material things and enlightenment both, they must observe Pradosha and worship great mother Shakti and Shiva.
