HAPPY MAHA SHIVARATRI. It is observed on the Chaturdasi (14th day) of the Krishna Paksha in the month of Maga. Maha Shivratri is the reunion of Lord Shiva and Parvati on this day after the Gods recreated Sati, Shiva’s wife in the form of Parvati.

According to puranas, On this day Lord Shiva was approached by Gods all across the world to protect them from a poison that the vast oceans were gurgling out hence posing a threat to their existence. In order to endanger them, Mahadev swallowed the poison himself and preserved it in his throat with the help of a snake coiling around it. Gods thanked the Lord for protecting them and thereafter, it is believed that whoever keeps a fast on this day and remembers Lord Shiva with dedication and faith.

तस्मात्सन्तोषमेवेह परं पश्यन्ति पण्डिताः ॥ – Mahabharata. Vanaparva

antō nāsti pipāsāyāḥ santōṣaḥ paramaṃ sukham ।
tasmātsantōṣamēvēha paraṃ paśyanti paṇḍitāḥ ॥
