27 February,2025 05:55 PM ISTMahashivratri is one of the most sacred nights in Hinduism, symbolizing transformation, spiritual awakening, and the grace of Lord Shiva—the Adi Guru, the first teacher of yoga. This year, Mahashivratri will be celebrated on Wednesday, February 26, with the most powerful time for worship—Nishita Kaal Puja—taking place from 12:09 am to 12:59 am on February 27. This one hour is believed to bring the greatest blessings. Devotees around the world gather to offer milk, honey, water, and fresh flowers to the Shivling, a symbol of Lord Shiva, representing purity and reverence. One key tradition is staying awake throughout the night—a vow of vigil—to remove darkness and awaken to inner truth. Devotees chant the powerful mantra `Om Namah Shivaya`, purifying the mind, body, and soul. Meditation and prayer are common practices, focusing on spiritual growth and divine blessings. According to ancient scriptures, Mahashivratri is not just about rituals, but about connecting with the cosmic energy of Lord Shiva. It’s believed that on this night, Lord Shiva performed a divine dance that represents the cycles of creation, preservation, and destruction—the fundamental processes of the universe. This dance is a reminder of the constant cycles of change in our own lives.... [Read More]
