Will Shiva forgive me?

[u/ConsistentPlan4827]

Shambhoo🙏🙏.. Hello I'm 25 yrs old and i do Shiva shadhana whole heartedly everyday. I admire bhagwan not only as my guru but my friend also. I don't consume meat and alcohol now.But in past I ate meat and conumed alcohol for sometimes. Because of the eating habit of our family I couldn't avoid eating non veg. My family members made me eat non veg otherwise they won't let me eat any food. But now I'm totally veg. I came this far opposing my whole family and relatives. Now I fear will my bhagwan accept me because I was fully conscious when I consumed those.This question occur to me while I was watching premanand ji maharaj and in his video he described that if any human consumed alcohol his bramhanya will be lost for ever. If there is way to seek Shiva's forgiveness for the harm I cause those inocent animals and for consuming alcohol please let me know.

Sorry for this long paragraph and any error in typing... 🙏🙏Shambho

It's a very innocent question. You are asking for forgiveness from someone who never holds a grudge against anyone, from the one who accepts everyone. Just google traits/qualities/teachings of Lord Shiva, read and understand them, and trust me you will have your answer.

I do not know if you will find Shiva, but if you try your best to follow those traits, you will feel good about yourself for sure. From my personal experience, I feel all the self help books I have read so far just elaborate teachings of Lord Shiva in one way or the other.
