The main truth of Shivaratri - you may not know
Quick Read You will be lucky Maha Shivaratri is a Hindu festival that is celebrated every year in honor of Lord Shiva, and in particular, Shiva's wedding day. Each lunar solar month of the Hindu calendar has Shivaratri on the 13th night / 14th day of the month, but once a year at the end of winter (February / March, or Falgun) and before summer, Maha Shivaratri is marked which means "Great Night of Shiva". It is a major festival in Hinduism, and this festival is solemn and is a remembrance of "removing darkness and ignorance" in life and the world. It is observed in remembrance and prayer of Shiva, chanting, fasting, and self-control, honesty, not hurting others, forgiveness, and the search for Shiva. Enthusiastic devotees stay awake all night. One of the others visits the Shiva temple or goes on a pilgrimage to Jyotirlingam.
Unlike most Hindu festivals celebrated throughout the day, Maha Shivaratri is celebrated at night. Apart from this, the controversial, Maha Shivaratri is a serious event involving the expression of cultural revival in most Hindu festivals which is notable for its introspective meditation, fasting, meditation on Shiva, self-study, social harmony and overnight observation at Shiva temples. This celebration involves putting on “awakening” and it is an all-night awakening and prayer, as Shaivite Hindus shun this night with “darkness and ignorance” in their lives and worlds through Shiva and through. Offers of fruits, leaves, sweets and milk are made to Shiva, some fast all day with Vedic or Tantric worship of Shiva, and some meditate. In Shiva temples, Shiva's holy mantra "Om Namah Shivaya" is chanted throughout the day.
