Surprisingly latitudinarian and non-sectarian advice in these videos, from our old friend Sthaneshwar Timalsina. I assumed he was more into secret nocturnal worship of Kali and such, but here he talks about loving devotion to Shiva.
You can make a lingam out of mud or ice, and offer some of your regular food to Shiva. He won´t mind, the important thing is your spiritual mood. Esoterically, Shiva is your true Self or inner essence, so whatever you enjoy, Shiva enjoys.
It´s actually quite funny for somebody living in Sweden (i.e. me) to see a Hindu walk around in a wintery park and say that he associates Shiva with snow. But then I realized that Timalsina is from Nepal, not from some vast Indian plain! Besides, Shiva´s holy mountain Kailash is in the Himalayas.
