ISKCON DWARKA Glories of Maha Shivaratri
Whenever someone speaks about Dharma and takes a nap on a bed of arrows in the Mahabharata’s Shanti Parva, Bhishma talks about King Chitrabhanu’s celebration of Maha Shivaratri.
This event is held at night and is performed in remembrance of Lord Shiva, who married Parvati i.e. Mother Durga on maha shivaratri day.
On Maha Shivaratri day, Lord Shiva devotees usually keep a strict fast. Some devotees even keep a nirjal fast, during this fast they do not even sip water.
On this day, bael leaves are offered to the lingam. Lord Shiva is pleased with the offering as bael leaves are exceedingly sacred and also dhar and tulsi also become attractions.
