Thought on Maha Shivratri

Thought One

MahaShivratri is the night on which Shivji and Parvati tied the knot and became 'One'.  Hence it is symbolic of the meeting of the Soul with the Almighty.

Those days  on which prayers were supposed to be conducive to Spiritual advancement were decided by the position of the stars, hence in the Hindu calendar the dates always vary.

Some people stay awake the whole night chanting and praying.  Shivji is called 'Bhola' Because it is believed that He is easily pleased and grants boons, unlike Krishna who is a difficult God to please.  You see Krishna is not interested in rituals, He wants total surrender and Love.  What do you think is easier?
