MAHASHIVARATRI - 12th FEBRUARY 2010

Mahashivaratri is celebrated on the 14th night of the dark half of Magh. It means 'the great night of Lord Shiva'.

Legend has it that a poor tribal, who was a great devotee of Lord Shiva went deep into the forest to collect firewood. He lost his way and was unable to return home before darkness descended on the forest. Frightened by the growl of tigers he sought refuge on the closest tree for the night. In order to stay awake he picked leaves of the tree and dropped them down while chanting the name of Shiva.

By morning he had unwittingly dropped leaves of the Bel tree on a Shivalinga which he had not noticed in the darkness. Lord Shiva was pleased with this all-night worship. The tigers went away by his grace and the man was rewarded with divine bliss.

Since this day, the story is recited on Mahashivratri and devotees stay awake fasting and chanting the Lord's name to seek his blessings.

The Mahamritunjaya Homam will be performed on this day at the Thiruveethiamman Temple in Chennai. Participate in the homam is at $39 which can include up to FOUR participants and includes video CD and shipping.
