About Mahashivratri
Revered as one of the auspicious days, Mahashivratri brings deep rest to the mind and spirit. When your mind and spirit get uplifted and blossoms, then you transcend everything to reach that ultimate state of your being – which is Shiva.
Mahashivratri is the day of Shiva – the meditative aspect of the entire universe. It is omnipresent, omnipotent, most benevolent divinity. But, Shiva is not a person. It is that principle which is the summum bonum of the whole creation and pervades the entire universe. This principle, called Shiva Tattva, is the quintessence of life and is present deep within every living being.
But, we forget that this power I there within us. Mahashivratri is to remind us to take refuge in Shiva – the peace, infinity, beauty, and non-dual one. You take refuge in Shiva because your true nature is Shiva. Celebrating the Shiva Tattva in oneself is the essence of Mahashivratri.
We celebrate the Shiva Tattva by going deep within us, meditating, and rejoicing in the Shiva energy. Mahashivratri is not just the time for rest of the body, but also for the mind, and ego. The tradition is to stay awake. Every Shivratri is a wake-up call for the whole world to move towards beauty, love, and truth, away from conflict.
