2022 Maha Shivaratri: Significance and Vrat Vidhi

Shivaratri is a great festival of convergence of Shiva and Shakti. Chaturdashi Tithi during Krishna Paksha in the month of Magha is known as Maha Shivaratri according to the South Indian calendar. However, according to the North Indian calendar, Masik Shivaratri in the month of Phalguna is known as Maha Shivaratri. In both calendars, it is the naming convention of the lunar month that differs. However, both, North Indians and South Indians celebrate Maha Shivaratri on the same day.

Vrat Vidhi

One day before┬аShivaratri Vratam, most likely on Trayodashi, devotees should eat only one time. On Shivaratri day, after finishing morning rituals devotees should take┬аSankalp (рд╕рдВрдХрд▓реНрдк) to observe full day fast on Shivaratri and to take food the next day. During┬аSankalp, devotees pledge for self-determination throughout the fasting period and seek the blessing of┬аLord Shiva┬аto finish the fast without any interference. Hindu fasts are strict and people pledge for self-determination and seek God blessing before starting them to finish them successfully.

On Shivaratri day devotees should take a second bath in the evening before doing Shiva Puja or visiting the temple. Shiva Puja should be done during the night and devotees should break the fast the next day after taking bath. Devotees should break the fast between sunrise and before the end of Chaturdashi Tithi to get the maximum benefit of the Vrat. According to one contradictory opinion, devotees should break the fast only when Chaturdashi Tithi gets over. But it is believed that both Shiva Puja and Parana (рдкрд╛рд░рдг)┬аi.e. breaking the fast should be done within Chaturdashi Tithi.

Shivaratri puja can be performed one time or four times during the night. The whole night duration can be divided into four to get four┬аPrahar (рдкреНрд░рд╣рд░) to perform Shiva Puja four times.

Shivaratri is also spelled as┬аShivratri,┬аShivarathri┬аand┬аSivaratri.
