    [FONT=&quot]
    [/FONT]

    [FONT=&quot]Maha Shivaratri[/FONT][FONT=&quot] is the festival celebrated during the night and is completely dedicated to [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Lord Shiva[/FONT][FONT=&quot], who is also known as the destroyer of evil and the remover of ignorance. The ‘Amavasya’, (a full dark night), which comes just after the day of Shivarathri, also represents the ‘Kalyug’. To enter safely and prosperously into the Kali yuga, people worship Lord Shiva to give courage and pleasure by demolishing evil and removing ignorance.[/FONT]

    [FONT=&quot][/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]Worship:[/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]
    [/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]Devotees take Shivaratri vrata to control the negative emotions of passion and ignorance in them. All devotees fast the whole day, many of them without taking even taking a single drop of water. The whole day will be spent in chanting "[/FONT][FONT=&quot]Om Namah Shivaya"[/FONT][FONT=&quot] and in meditation upon the Lord. Shiva temples all over the country will conduct special poojas and during the four quarters of Shivaratri, the Shiva Lingam is worshipped with intense devotion. Sannyas Diksha is given on this day to earnest seekers on the path.

    [FONT=&quot]Stories and Beliefs:[/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]
    [/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]There are many beliefs behind the celebration of this religious festival.[/FONT]

    [FONT=&quot][/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]It is said that the whole world was under destruction once and the Goddess Parvati worshipped her husband Siva then and prayed to him that the Jivas (living souls) remaining in space like particles of gold dust in a lump of wax during that long period of pralaya (deluge) night, should, when they became active once again and are in the enjoy*ment of their short day and night, have his blessings if they but worshipped him just as she did then, and her prayer was accordingly granted. The night fixed for the worship of Iswara by mortals by Parvati was named Maha-Sivaratri or the great night of Siva, since pralaya is brought about by him and hence the period is really his night from the great night or pralaya which was the cause for the origin of this Sivaratri.[/FONT]

    [FONT=&quot][/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]However the major part of the devotees follow another story of the belief.

    Once the Devas and Asuras joined together for "Saagaramathanam" - churning of Ocean. They enjoyed PariJatha, KalpaVrikshu ( Tree which bestows any boons), Kamadhenu (Cow which bestows any boons) and Amritha (Nectar). However when the mighty poison "Kalakoota" emerged, all of them were in panic and nobody could combat it. At that time Lord Shiva emerged to help the world and swallowed the poison. Goddess Parvati was all for her husband and held his throat to enter into Lord Siva. Lord Siva neither swallowed nor spat out the poison as he held it in his neck and became Neelakanta (Blue neck).[/FONT]

    [FONT=&quot][/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]There is also a myth emphasizing the importance of the worship of Siva during the Shivaratri night and it is in brief as follows :[/FONT]

    [FONT=&quot][/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]Once there was a hunter, and he one day went into the forest to procure meat for his family by hunting some animal. He wandered up and down in the forest from morning till night in search of game but was unable to shoot any. At last, when night overtook him, he climbed up a Bale tree to escape from a wild animal that was pursuing him, being roused from its lair by the hunter. The animal was lying down at the foot of the tree quite certain that the man would fall down either from sleep or from exhaustion, and that he might eat him. The hunter, exhausted as he was from his exertions and hunger, wished to scare away the animal by throwing handful of bael leaves. These leaves dripping with water on account of the recent shower, fell on a Siva-Lingam that was near. The night happened to be the Maha-Sivaratri night. He had fasted during the whole day since he could not find anything to eat. The drenching rain constituted a bath and his action of throwing the bale leaves on the Siva-Lingam, the wor*ship of Siva on the Sivaratri night.

    [FONT=&quot] There is great universal message behind the celebration of Maha Sivaratri. As long as there is the arrival of beneficiary things, human beings compete for them. On the other hand when something unpleasant happens, we don't even want to face them and run away from them. Maha Sivaratri shows how one can become beneficiary to the whole society by accepting bitterness around us. At the same time we should not embitter ourselves with the influence of the outside evils.

    [FONT=&quot]Maha Shivaratri[/FONT][FONT=&quot] is the festival celebrated during the night and is completely dedicated to [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Lord Shiva[/FONT][FONT=&quot], who is also known as the destroyer of evil and the remover of ignorance. The ‘Amavasya’, (a full dark night), which comes just after the day of Shivarathri, also represents the ‘Kalyug’. To enter safely and prosperously into the Kali yuga, people worship Lord Shiva to give courage and pleasure by demolishing evil and removing ignorance.[/FONT]

    [/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]Devotees take Shivaratri vrata to control the negative emotions of passion and ignorance in them. All devotees fast the whole day, many of them without taking even taking a single drop of water. The whole day will be spent in chanting "[/FONT][FONT=&quot]Om Namah Shivaya"[/FONT][FONT=&quot] and in meditation upon the Lord. Shiva temples all over the country will conduct special poojas and during the four quarters of Shivaratri, the Shiva Lingam is worshipped with intense devotion. Sannyas Diksha is given on this day to earnest seekers on the path.

    [FONT=&quot]There are many beliefs behind the celebration of this religious festival.[/FONT]

    [FONT=&quot][/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]It is said that the whole world was under destruction once and the Goddess Parvati worshipped her husband Siva then and prayed to him that the Jivas (living souls) remaining in space like particles of gold dust in a lump of wax during that long period of pralaya (deluge) night, should, when they became active once again and are in the enjoy*ment of their short day and night, have his blessings if they but worshipped him just as she did then, and her prayer was accordingly granted. The night fixed for the worship of Iswara by mortals by Parvati was named Maha-Sivaratri or the great night of Siva, since pralaya is brought about by him and hence the period is really his night from the great night or pralaya which was the cause for the origin of this Sivaratri.[/FONT]

    [FONT=&quot][/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]However the major part of the devotees follow another story of the belief.

    Once the Devas and Asuras joined together for "Saagaramathanam" - churning of Ocean. They enjoyed PariJatha, KalpaVrikshu ( Tree which bestows any boons), Kamadhenu (Cow which bestows any boons) and Amritha (Nectar). However when the mighty poison "Kalakoota" emerged, all of them were in panic and nobody could combat it. At that time Lord Shiva emerged to help the world and swallowed the poison. Goddess Parvati was all for her husband and held his throat to enter into Lord Siva. Lord Siva neither swallowed nor spat out the poison as he held it in his neck and became Neelakanta (Blue neck).[/FONT]

    [FONT=&quot][/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]There is also a myth emphasizing the importance of the worship of Siva during the Shivaratri night and it is in brief as follows :[/FONT]

    [FONT=&quot][/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]Once there was a hunter, and he one day went into the forest to procure meat for his family by hunting some animal. He wandered up and down in the forest from morning till night in search of game but was unable to shoot any. At last, when night overtook him, he climbed up a Bale tree to escape from a wild animal that was pursuing him, being roused from its lair by the hunter. The animal was lying down at the foot of the tree quite certain that the man would fall down either from sleep or from exhaustion, and that he might eat him. The hunter, exhausted as he was from his exertions and hunger, wished to scare away the animal by throwing handful of bael leaves. These leaves dripping with water on account of the recent shower, fell on a Siva-Lingam that was near. The night happened to be the Maha-Sivaratri night. He had fasted during the whole day since he could not find anything to eat. The drenching rain constituted a bath and his action of throwing the bale leaves on the Siva-Lingam, the wor*ship of Siva on the Sivaratri night. Though his actions were not intentional to worship Siva, yet he is said to have gained heaven as he had observed the Sivaratri - Vratha unwittingly.[/FONT]

    Hi Sugi... Thanks for the post. I was badly looking for the Shivratri stories.
    Also, it would be good if someone could post about what actually needs to be done on the Mahashivratri day.. I mean the dos and donts..
