New Delhi: Shivratri will be celebrated on March 8 this year. Shivratri falling in the month of Phagan is called Mahashivratri. This day is very special for Shiva devotees. Mahashivratri is considered the festival of union of Lord Shiva and Mother Parvati. Devotees observe fast on this day and worship Lord Shiva with full rituals. It is believed that by doing this Lord Bholenath is pleased and fulfills all the wishes.
Lord Shiva means beneficent. He drank the poisoned cup for the welfare of the world. Lord Shiva's nature is extremely innocent, that is why he is also called Bholenath. From the personality of Lord Shiva, you can learn many important things in life and make your life better.
simple living, high thinking
Lord Shiva is believed to reside on Mount Kailash. He was engrossed in meditation in a deserted place like Kailash. Such things are also offered in his worship which do not cost much money. They are pleased by offering Dhatura flowers and Bel leaves. Lord Shiva is never shown in expensive clothes and jewellery. Such a picture of his teaches us that to become great it is necessary to have good thoughts, not all for show.
respect for women
Lord Shiva never discriminates between men and women. In his pictures, Mother Parvati is seen sitting right next to him. This form of Lord Shiva teaches us that respect for women is important for every man.
Equality
Lord Shiva is not only beloved by the gods and devotees, but he also includes demons, demons and various types of animals and birds in his group. Those whom all the gods abandon, Lord Shankar accepts them all. His nature teaches us to have love and equality towards all living beings.
welfare of the world
Lord Shankar takes great pains for the welfare of the world. When Halahal poison came out during the churning of the ocean, he imbibed the essence of that poison without caring about himself. His step teaches that man should come forward and participate in the welfare of the world.
