Mahashivratri, which is observed on february 26th, is quickly approaching. This Mahashivratri, a major Hindu holiday, is even more noteworthy since it is celebrated with fervor and devotion.
You ask, why? A unique celestial alignment will occur this Mahashivratri; it hasn't occurred since 1965, which was sixty years ago. According to the Panchang, the celebration will occur when the moon is in Capricorn, Dhanishta Nakshatra, Parigha Yoga, and Shakuni Karana are all present. Are you unsure of its meaning? The sun, Mercury, and Saturn are the three main planets that are in conjunction during this celestial alignment, to put it simply.
For the uninitiated, Saturn is the symbol of the son while the sun is the symbol of the father. Both of these planets will be in Aquarius, Saturn's own sign, creating a unique and potent combination. This type of astrological alignment only occurs once every several decades, and it presents a unique chance to ask the cosmos for more benefits.
We are all aware that Lord shiva and the goddess Parvati were wedded on the day of maha Shivratri. people might fast on this day, do pujas, meditate all night, and pray to the Lord and the Goddess to ask for their blessings. Since Rudraabhishek is seen as auspicious, it can also be performed on maha Shivratri. The following are some of the numerous rites that a devotee observes during maha Shivratri:
Offer water, milk, curd, honey, ghee, and sugar on Shivling with devotion and reverence
Offer bilva leaves, flowers, and fruits to lord Shiva
One can chant Lord Shiva's mantra like 'Om Namaha Shivay' or 'Mahamrityunjaya mantra' or 'Shiva Rudra Mantra' to please the lord and purify one's mind and soul
