Austerities & Fastings Connected with Shiva’s Worship
Once Parvati asked lord Shiva as to which were the austerities when on being performed by a devotee,
helps him to attain both worldly accomplishments as well as liberation.
Lord Shiva told her about ten austerities connected with his worship and their methods. He said-
"On the eighty day of every month a devotee should worship me by observing a fast for the whole day
and breaking it in the night. But on Kalashtami a devotee must observe the fast for the whole day and
night. He must not have food on that day. On the eleventh day of the dark-lunar month, a devotee must
worship me and observe fast during the day. He should break the fast in the night. But on the eleventh

day of the bright lunar month, a devotee should observe a fast for the whole period of day and night. On
the thirteenth day of dark-lunar month a devotee must observe fast for the whole period of day and
night, whereas on the thirteenth day of a bright lunar phase he should observe a fast during the day
and break it in the night. A fast observed on Monday should be broken only in the night."
