One of the most important festivals in the Hindu religious calendar is Maha Shiva Ratri that is tomorrow. Maha Shiva Ratri is the night of Lord Shiva. On this auspicious occasion, it is time for us to pray to Lord Shiva and seek his blessings...!!! In fact this is the festival which i do fasting and jaagaran. :-)
As i am surfing google I found some info about the importance of this festival which i share with you.. This festival observed in honour of Lord Shiva, marks the day he is believed to have married Parvati and the night when he performed the dance of primordial creation and preservation. The many rituals associated with this festival include fasting, night long vigil at temples, making of offerings to Shiva, the lighting of lamps and singing hymns in praise of Lord Shiva.
The aim of all this devotion is the dispelling of ignorance and the search for knowledge to overcome the evil tendencies of lust, anger, greed, infatuation, jealousy and hatred, and seek peace and harmony both in their lives and in society.Hinduism, one of the great religions of the world, teaches man the virtues of piety, unity and harmony. In our country Hindus, true to their religion, have been living for ages in amity and harmony with followers of other religions.
I wish you all a happy Maha Shiva Ratri. May your prayers and expectations for a better tomorrow be fulfilled, and may every lamp you light on this day enrich you spiritually and enhance your understanding of the need for better understanding and stronger unity among all of us.
HaPpY MAHA SHIVA RATRI
