What is the Akhand Deepak and Japa requirement across the four Prahars?
Light an Akhand Deepak from the morning of Mahashivratri to the following morning (or from the first evening Prahar until 7 AM), ideally with a night vigil (Ratri Jagran) — chant at least 5 malas per Prahar if 108 isn't possible, or alternatively Shiva Sahasranama or Rudrashtakam with devotion.
What is the remedy for severe, prolonged financial distress?
Establish a consecrated Shivling at home, offer regular water libations, and recite the Shri Rudrashtakam systematically.
What is the Mahatmya of the Rudrashtakam?
Very great. If any offence against a deity occurs, or a mantra-curse, or anyone's curse — even a curse of Bhagavan Shiva himself — an Anushthan of the Rudrashtakam brings immediate release from it. It also pacifies the affliction of the ancestors.
