HOW TO KEEP LORD SHIVA HAPPY AND SEEK HIS BLESSINGS?
In order to make lord Shiva happy and seek most of his blessings one must offer milk on Shivling that will attract positive energy in life and also offer Dhatura and Belpatra to Lord Shiva because it is believed that Goddess Parvati resides in every leaf of Bel tree that will make him happy.
