The Supreme Consciousness and controller of the Third-eye, Lord Shiva is worshipped with great reverence on the auspicious day of\u00a0Shiv Ratri<\/strong>, meaning the ‘Night of Lord Shiva’. The occasion of honouring Lord Shiva is celebrated during the day & night on Shiv Ratri.

LORD SHIVA

Lord Shiva<\/strong>\u00a0is soul of the universe, the Supreme\u00a0Lord<\/strong>\u00a0who creates, protects and transforms the universe.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Hindu religion believes that\u00a0the entire cosmic’s functions of creation,\u00a0maintenance, and destruction are personified as a triad of deities\u00a0called\u00a0Trideva or Trim\u016brti.\u00a0 This Trinity comprises of\u00a0<\/strong>Brahma the creator, Vishnu the preserver, and Shiva the destroyer.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Divine Mother is Goddess, or\u00a0Devi,\u00a0is considered to be\u00a0 Supreme and is said to be the energy and creative power (Shakti) for each of the deities. Divine Mother\u00a0Parvati\u00a0being the complementary partner of Lord Shiva.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Shiva has three eyes, the third eye bestowing inward vision with the\u00a0capability\u00a0of burning destruction when focused outward. He hence\u00a0connotes “liberation, final emancipation”.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

SIGNIFICANCE OF SHIV RATRI<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Shiv Ratri\u00a0<\/strong>is the auspicious day when the cosmic energies lift immensely through the powers and graces of Lord Shiva. The planetary position in the universe evokes the spiritual energies very easily so this day comes as a big opportunity for a transformation to connect to your true intellect by overcoming attachments. It is the death of emotional attachment that frees your mind from its shackles\u00a0and allows you to connect to your soul’s truth. Your soul connection is your connection to your intellectual abilities.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Celebrated mostly during Spring time in February-March, marking\u00a0the end of winter\u00a0and beginning of summer, Shiv Ratri signifies dispelling of ignorance and emanating the light of true knowledge and intellect. It holds the energies of renewal.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Rising of the vibrational frequency in the cosmic sphere leads to the destruction of darkness to open the light.\u00a0Owing to the special planetary conjunction, this day is considered especially auspicious and beneficial for spiritual aspirants who are eager to lift their vibrational frequencies.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

OBSERVANCES<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Devotees observe fast (no food or water) through the day,\u00a0offer flowers, fruits and many other things to honour the energies of Lord Shiva. Through the\u00a0night of Shiv Ratri special prayer\u00a0ceremony is conducted\u00a0to commemorate the time when Lord Shiva \u201csaved the world from ignorance,\u201d which is symbolised\u00a0by darkness.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Chanting hymns and mantra in praise of Lord Shiva is the focus. The main chant to honour Lord Shiva is \u201cOm Namah Shivaya<\/strong>\u201d pronounced as\u00a0\u201cOm\u201d \u201cNa-Mah\u201d \u201cShi-Vaa-Ya\u201d.<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

CELEBRATIONS & HONORING<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Our beloved\u00a0Sarva Loka Maa Her Holiness Sri Sri Sri 1008 Guruji Poonamji<\/strong>\u00a0grants us yet another exceptional grace and opportunity to celebrate the occasion of Shiv Ratri with great enthusiasm and devotion.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
