মহাদেবকে অর্পিত ফল ও প্রসাদ গ্রহণ করলে কেন পরের জন্মে কুকুর হতে হয়? | Mahashivratri Myth And Ritual

The belief that consuming fruits or prasad offered to Lord Shiva leads to rebirth as a dog is a widely circulated myth rooted in misunderstanding of certain ritual traditions. In Hindu dharma, especially during Mahashivratri, offerings made to Lord Shiva such as bilva leaves, fruits, milk, and sacred water are considered blessed after worship. Devotees often receive this sanctified food (prasad) as divine grace.
However, confusion arises from specific temple customs related to the Shiva Lingam. In some traditions, items directly placed upon the Shivling—particularly those washed over it during abhishek—may not always be distributed as edible prasad due to ritual purity rules followed by certain sects. Over time, exaggerated interpretations gave rise to the myth that consuming such offerings could result in negative karmic consequences, including rebirth as a dog. This claim has no clear scriptural authority in major Hindu texts.
During Mahashivratri, millions of devotees observe fasting, perform Rudrabhishek, chant “Om Namah Shivaya,” and seek spiritual elevation. The focus of the festival is self-discipline, devotion, and inner purification—not fear-based superstition. Sanatan Dharma emphasizes intention (bhava) and devotion over rigid misunderstanding of ritual practice.
It is important to distinguish between authentic spiritual teachings and folklore-based myths. Hindu scriptures primarily teach compassion, karmic responsibility, and liberation through devotion. Mahadev is revered as Ashutosh—the one who is easily pleased and grants blessings to sincere devotees.
Understanding the symbolic meaning behind rituals helps remove fear and replace it with faith, clarity, and spiritual awareness. Mahashivratri is ultimately a celebration of divine consciousness, transformation, and the union of Shiva and Shakti.
