Be it truth, be it beauty, be it benevolence or be it any place and phase of life, Shiva is present. In our time-poor days, we usually miss this Shiva Principle from which we have come, in which we live and into which we will dissolve.

Today's Maha Shivratri is to believe and remind us that we are Shiva. How? The spiritual story we say 'Shivoham, Shivoham' means 'I am Shiva, I am that principle, I am the truth, eternity, beauty and benevolence.'

Meditation for the day will be best

On this night, constellations are in a particular position. The day is considered auspicious for the meditation. The day is very useful for people to be awake and meditate. It is often said that if you can not meditate every day, do at least once in a year on Mahashivratri.
The message behind this is that- Wake the Divinity that is Deep within you.

Fasting or Eating light

Eating light food or fariyal or not eating too much with meditation. It is believed anciently that this helps in the fulfilment of your wishes and desires. Like a sponge in water or we can say rasgulla in syrup when the mind and body are resting in the Shiva Tattva, small wishes get fulfilled effortlessly.

Chanting Vedic Mantras

For the well-being of all, chanting these Vedic mantras bring a big change in our environment. It brings purity, it increases positivity, it destroys our bad karmas and nature celebrates. The day is celebrated and is very important to celebrate Rudrabhishekam. Rudrabhishekam is performed praying about 'Let there be timely rain, let there be a good harvest, let there be health, wealth, wisdom and liberation.'
