Let’s begin the journey of knowledge on Maha shivratri by chanting “Om Namah Shivaya”

Mahashivaratri Story
Different group of people have different mahashivratri story but all point towards one common thing that maha shivaratri is the occasion to please the lord and seek his blessings to get all our wishes fulfilled:

· Maha shivratri Story One: Samudra Manthan
It is believed that during the churning of ocean by gods and demons a highly toxic pot of poison which could have destroyed the world. To save the masses lord Shiva consumed this poison and kept it in his throat by tying it with a serpent. The poison turned his throat blue and this is the main reason why Lord Shiva is popularly known as “Neelkantha”. One of the sages asked the disciples to keep Lord shiva awake whole night so that he is not impacted by the poison. Keep the same rituals in mind disciples of lord shiva still sing songs and keep vigil whole night to please the god who then showers his blessings

· Mahashivratri Story Two: Marriage Celebrations of Shiva Parvati
Sati , daughter of King Daksha was in love with Lord Shiva and considered him as her husband. King Daksha in order to discourage her daughter from marrying to such an ugly looking man surrounded by serpents and devils organized a religious ceremony and insulted Lord Shiva publicly. In anger Sati ended her life by jumping in fire knowing which Shiva started Tandav dance to destroy the world. In order to appease Shiva, sati was revived in the form of Parvati and the union of Shiva and Parvati marked Maha shivaratri celebrations

· Mahashivratri Story Two: Lubhdak Story
Once lived a tribal lubhdak a great Shiva devotee. One day he went to forrest to collect wood but lost his way. During night due to the fear of wild animals he climbed a bael tree and started chanting “om namah shivaya” and started dropping down bael leaves not realizing that there is a shivlingm located beneath the tree. Lord shiva pleased with his devotion saved his life and since then Maha shivaratri is celebrated by presenting Shiva with bael leaves besides other things

Maha shivratri Rituals
On this day devotees have to get up early in the morning, take bath and wear preferably new clothes. Then they need to go to a shiva temple and offer these 6 items to Lord Shiva as mentioned in Shiva Purana:
· bael leaves for soul purification,
· sindoor for virtue,
· fruits and rice to ask for long life and fulfillment of wishes
· incense sticks for wealth
· Diya for knowledge
· Pan patta to enjoy worldly goods

Devotees fast whole day as well as night on Mahashivratri 2010 keeping a night vigil by singing shiva bhajans
