GET BLESSINGS OF LORD SHIVA IN THE FORM OF DIVINE NARMADESHWAR SHIVLINGA ON THIS MAHASHIVRATRI

Date of Mahashivratri – March 07, 2016

Introduction – about the festival

Maha Shivratri, the night of the worship of Lord Shiva, occurs on the 14th night of the new moon during the dark half of the month of Phalguna (Feb / March) when Hindus offer special prayer to the lord of destruction. This is an important day for the devotees of Shiva, who stay awake throughout the night, praying to him.

Devotees bathe the Shivalinga with milk especially auspicious for women. According to one legend, Parvati performed tapas, and meditated on this day to ward off any evil that may befall on her husband on the moonless night. Since then, Mahashivaratri is also believed to be an auspicious occasion for women to pray for the well-being of their husbands and sons. An unmarried woman prays for a husband like Shiva, who is considered to be the ideal husband. Devotees bathe at sunrise, preferably in the Ganga, or any otherholy water source (like the Shiva Sagartank at Khajurao). They offer prayers to the sun, Vishnu and Shiva. Some folklore also consider this to be Shiva’s day as this was believed to be the answer given by Lord Shiva when asked about his favorite day by Goddess Parvati. Lord Shiva married Maa Parvati on this day. This is the reason this day is considered very auspicious for good relations between husband and wife.

It is said that merely thinking about their Bana Linga early in the morning itself is likely to bestow success in all their enterprises of the day.
