History of Maha Shivaratri | shivadhyan.com

Maha Shivaratri a Hindu festival celebrated annually in honour of the god Shiva. There is a Shivaratri in every luni-solar month of the Hindu calendar, on the month's 13th night/14th day, but once a year in late winter (February/March, or Magha) and before the arrival of Summer, marks Maha Shivaratriwhich means "the Great Night of Shiva".

According to a few God realized Yogis, Maha Shivaratri was the day when Shiva drank poisonous negativity to protect the world. The Maha Shivaratri is mentioned in several Puranas, particularly the Skanda Purana, Linga Purana and Padma Purana. These medieval era Shaiva texts present different mythologies associated with this festival, but all mention fasting and reverence for icons of Shiva such as the Lingam.

Different legends describe the significance of Maha Shivaratri. According to one legend in the Shaivism tradition, this is the night when Shiva performs the heavenly dance of creation, preservation and destruction.^[11][12]The chanting of hymns, the reading of Shiva scriptures and the chorus of devotees joins this cosmic dance and remembers Shiva's presence everywhere. According to another legend, this is the night when Shiva and Parvati got married.^[11][13] A different legend states that the offering to Shiva icons such as the linga is an annual occasion to get over past sins if any, to restart on a virtuous path and thereby reach Mount Kailasha and liberation.^[11]

The significance of dance tradition to this festival has historical roots. The Maha Shivaratri has served as a historic confluence of artists for annual dance festivals at major Hindu temples such as at Konark, Khajuraho, Pattadakal, Modhera and Chidambaram.This event is called Natyanjali, literally "worship through dance", at the Chidambaram temple which is famous for its sculpture depicting all dance mudras in the ancient Hindu text of performance arts called Natya Shastra.Similarly, at Khajuraho Shiva temples, a major fair and dance festival on Maha Shivaratri, involving Shaiva pilgrims camped over miles around the temple complex, was documented by Alexander Cunningham in 1864.

There is a Shivaratri in every lunar month on its 13th night/14th day,(328) but once a year in late winter (February/March) and before the arrival of spring, marks Maha Shivaratri which means "the Great Night of Shiva".

Maha Shivaratri is a major Hindu festival, but one that is solemn and theologically marks a remembrance of "overcoming darkness and ignorance" in life and the world,and meditation about the polarities of existence, of Shiva and a devotion to humankind.It is observed by reciting Shiva-related poems, chanting prayers, remembering Shiva, fasting, doing Yoga and meditating on ethics and virtues such as self-restraint, honesty, noninjury to others, forgiveness, introspection, self-repentance and the discovery of Shiva. The ardent devotees keep awake all night. Others visit one of the Shiva temples or go on pilgrimage to Jyotirlingamshrines. Those who visit temples, offer milk, fruits, flowers, fresh leaves and sweets to the lingam.[4] Some communities organize special dance events, to mark Shiva as the lord of dance, with individual and group performances. According to Jones and Ryan, Maha Sivaratri is an ancient Hindu festival which probably originated around the 5th-century.

Another major festival involving Shiva worship is Kartik Purnima, commemorating Shiva's victory on the demons Tripurasura. Across India, various Shiva temples are illuminated throughout the night. Shiva icons are carried in procession in some places

Meenakshi Temple 

Regional festivals dedicated to Shiva include the Chittirai festival in Madurai around April/May, one of the largest festivals in South India, celebrating the wedding of Minakshi(Parvati) and Shiva. The festival is one where both the Vaishnava and Shaiva communities join the celebrations, because Vishnu gives away his sister Minakshi in marriage to Shiva.

Some Shaktism-related festivals revere Shiva along with the goddess considered primary and Supreme. These include festivals dedicated to Annapurna such as Annakutaand those related to Durga. In Himalayan regions such as Nepal, as well as in northern, central and western India, the festival of Teejis celebrated by girls and women in the monsoon season, in honor of goddess Parvati, with group singing, dancing and by offering prayers in Parvati-Shiva temples.

Lord Shiva,s Festival's

The ascetic, Vedic and Tantric sub-traditions related to Shiva, such as those that became ascetic warriors during the Islamic rule period of India,celebrate the Kumbha Mela festival.This festival cycles every 12 years, in four pilgrimage sites within India, with the event moving to the next site after a gap of three years. The biggest is in Prayaga (renamed Allahabad during the Mughal rule era), where millions of Hindus of different traditions gather at the confluence of rivers Ganges and Yamuna. In the Hindu tradition, the Shiva-linked ascetic warriors (Nagas) get the honor of starting the event by entering the sangam first for bathing and prayers

Lord Shiva

Shiva is called "Destroyer and transformer" within the Hindu trim consisting of Brahma and Vishnu.  In Shaivism tradition, Shiva is the supreme person who creates, protects and transforms the universe. Shaktism is described as supreme in the Hindu tradition of Hinduism, known as Deva or Devi, although Lord Shiva is worshiped with Vishnu and Brahma. The power and creative power of each god is said to be Parvati , an equal complementary partner of Shiva.He is one of the five equal gods in Panchayat Puja of the Sampradaya tradition of Hinduism.

According to the Shiv Siva sect, the highest form of Shiva is the formless, immense, mystical and unchanging whole Brahma, and the Primal Autumn of the universe. There are many well-meaning and horror images of Shiva. In the best interests, he is portrayed as an omniscient yogi who is celebrating his life on Mount Kailash, and his wife, Parvati and his two children, Ganesh and Kartikeya. In its extreme cases, they are often portrayed as demons who kill them. Lord Shiva is known as Shiva as the patron god of yoga, meditation and arts.


The iconic features of Lord Shiva are the snake around his neck, the half moon embellished, the sacred river Ganges flowing from his hair, the third eye on his forehead, the trishulah or the trishul, his arms and the darum drum. They are usually worshiped in the form of aniconic form of sex. Shiva is a pan-Hindu deity widely worshiped in Hindus, India, Nepal and Sri Lanka.
