Quora says you'll have to write om namah shivay with rakta chandan and touch it to shivling and bring it back to your house and keep it with you. You can look it up. There is nothing more to it than that. You are not "Unholy" in your period, nothing ever is. Listening to Hanuman chalisa is not necessarily a spiritual practice and even if it was as long as you can maintain your concentration you can do it. No problem. Om namah shivay ! Reply reply El_viajero_nevervar • 🕉 namah Shivay 🙏 Love the 3rd pic from Nandis angle.. The dias do light up the picture... It's traditionally believed that Om Namah Shivaya can be chanted by someone who has undergone the samskaras and wears the yajnopaveetha. Now, how you can get that done and who is eligible for it is subject to intense debate in the current scenario. There is another mantra, one that Shiva himself chants all the time.
