The word, Maha Shivaratri means
'Great night of Shiva'.
Shiva and Shakti are the two major
forces in the Universe. Maha Shivaratri celebrates their union.Lord Shiva got married to Goddess Parvati on this day.
On this night, Lord Shiva danced the
Shiva Thandavam, which is the
dance of all creation and destruction
For unmarried women who seek a husband like Lord Shiva, it is a special night for he is the epitome of a devoted husband.
On Maha Shivaratri, married women worship Shiva for their husbands' welfare.
The time when Lord Shiva manifested as the Lingam on earth is called Nishitha Kala. It's the most important time for performing Shiva pooja and it is at night.
The prevalent belief is that worshipping Lord Shiva on this night and observing the Maha Shivaratri fast for the entire night can remove negative thoughts like anger, hate, greed, lust, etc.
🙏🙏HAPPY MAHASHIVRATRI 🙏🙏
