One of the biggest Hindu Festivals, Maha Shivratri, is here. For 2015, the 'auspicious' occasion dedicated to Lord Shiva will be marked on 17 February.
It is said that on the 13th night or the 14th day of the month of Phagun (spring) in Hindu calander, when the moon occurs, is the favourite time to worship Lord Shiva as told by the lord himself to Goddess Parvati, his consort. Hence, the day was established to be his day of worship and therefore the name Maha Shivratri came in being.
The day, which is often considered to be the occasion to celebrate the divine marriage between Lord Shiva and Parvati, is the right time to delve into the origin and history of Hinduism. It also honours the day Lord Shiva chose to be called NeelKanth (the blue-throated) after consuming the poison that was released when the great Samudra Manthan (churning of the sea) took place, which the scriptures describe as Gods' and Demons' quest to obtain the nectar of immortality.
In observance of the Maha Shivratri 2015, IBTimes India has rounded up the following quotes, sayings, messages and wishes both in English and Hindi to be sent as greetings, SMS or WhatsApp messages for the day, courtesy to various websites such as 123 New Year, Greeting Cards, Happy Mahasivratri, and others.
