Masik Shivaratri
The unfathomable faith in the existence of the power of the God of all Gods, Lord Shiva is
extraordinarily proli c. It is believed by Hindu devotees that Shivaratri is one such occasion which
puri es ones soul, mind and body. Most of us are not aware of the fact that Shivaratri is not observed
only once in a year, rather it falls on every month of the year on di erent dates and it is called Masik
Shivaratri.

On the day of Shivaratri, Shakti and Shiva converse together and create a tremendous power of love
and peace. Masik Shivaratri occurs on the Chaturdashi Tithi of each month during Krishna paksha.
And the Shivaratri that occurs in the Magha month of the year is called Maha Shivaratri which is in
accordance with the Amavasyant School. On the other hand Maha Shivaratri occurs in the month of
Phalgun as per the Purnimant School.

Reason Behind Shivaratri Celebration

Shivaratri is a pious festival of Hindus which is celebrated to give honour to Lord Shiva and his
perennial power. According to Hindu scriptures and tests during the time of Samundra Manthan, a
pot full of poison came out of the ocean which terri ed all the demons and even the Gods. People at
that time believed that the poison pot will destroy the earth and so they were very much afraid. And
nobody nut Lord Shiva could only be trusted to help in the situation. Turning out to be a saviour Lord
Shiva came forward and listened to the plea of the people. Consequently he drank the pot of poison
and kept it in his throat and did not swallow it. This is the reason he is also referred to as Neelkanth
as the poison had turned his throat blue. And to celebrate his extraordinary power to save the earth,
we celebrate Shivaratri. It is one of the reasons, while there are many more.
