Maha Shivaratri is an important Hindu festival celebrated to commemorate Lord Siva.
On this day the natural flow of cosmic energies is particularly potent. Shiva is believed to be the absolute timeless Supreme Being: the ultimate creator and destroyer.
Meditation on Shiva helps overcome obstacles in spiritual practices. Shiva is pure inner knowledge, reality, eternity, infinity, Holiness and Omnipresence. Shiva is Satyam, Shivam, and Sundaram: truth, consciousness, auspiciousness, purity and beauty.
The worship of Shiva, the Supreme energy, leads to a state of elation, of being immersed in meditative contemplation and absorption in one’s inner being. Mediating upon him leads to cutting the cord of material bondage.
