Fasting is the corrupted translation of UPVAS a sanskrit word. UPA means near. VAS means to stay. One has to stay nearer to the God which means all your actions and deeds including thoughts must be relating to SHIVA. merely torturing the body without taking food or gulping whole lot immediately after fast is not correct. One should take as limited as possible to keep one hail and healthy and active to keep concentration on God. The food must be SATTWIK means less spicy. This is to keep passions under control and mind alert. Overeating makes one lazy. God doesnt want all rituals which we want. All things on earth were created bny him only. What is that you are offering to him from your own creation. Your faith, obedience and sincerity are adequate. Keep your mind filled only with HIS thoughts and pray. For usual pooja rituals better use white flowers like jasmine and Bilwa patra (3 leaves in one) . sandal, white powder that is Vibhudi(also called Bhasma), milk, curd, ghee (of cow), honey, coconut water. etc., If you have SHIVLING (not bigger than 2 or 3 inches) Keep it in a plate and pour the 5 liquids(also said as PANCHAMRITA) chanting his 108 names and later wash iit with luke warm water and dry witha fresh cloth and decorate with sqandal and flowers. Then light agarbatti and camphor. Then close your eyes and meditate as long as you can. You can offer some fruits and kheer which canbe taken as prasad. All the result will depend not on how lavish you offer but how sincere you are in your offerings.
