Maha Shivaratri,15 Feb 2026

Maha Shivaratri is an auspicious occasion, signifying the night of goodness, godliness, and good fortune. It is a night prescribed for the fourteenth night of the dark half of the month, preceding the New Moon, when the mind, ruled by the Moon, is significantly reduced. Devoting this night to prayer can help in overcoming the mind's hold on an individual. The significance of Maha Shivaratri is deeply rooted in spiritual striving, aiming to eliminate the mind and reveal the Reality. Special effort made on this night through intensive and vigilant sadhana, such as puja, Japam, or Dhyanam, ensures success in spiritual pursuits. It is a time to meditate upon Shiva without distraction from thoughts of sleep or food.
