Why is this Shivratri So Special?

While every month's Shivratri is an opportunity to receive Lord Shiva's grace, the significance of the Shivratri falling in the month of Shravan is even greater. The month of Shravan is itself dedicated to Mahadev. When the festival of Shivratri arrives in this sacred month, it is as if nature itself is immersed in Shiva's devotion. The fast, jalabhishek (ritual bathing of the deity) and worship performed on this day hold the power to fulfill every wish of the seeker. This is not just a fast but a spiritual journey to conquer one's senses and awaken the Shiva-element residing within.

The Grand Festival of Shiva-Shakti's Grace

The Masik Shivratri fast reminds us that the foundation of happiness and good fortune in life is the balance of Shiva and Shakti. This day is not only about external rituals but also about internal surrender. On this sacred occasion, remember Mahadev and Maa Parvati with complete faith and trust, worship them and enrich your life with their divine grace. Through the compassion of Mahadev, all the troubles of a seeker are removed and auspiciousness dawns in their life.
