Maha Shivaratri: Tanme Manah Shivasankalpamastu

- The message of Shivaratri is the same that, just like Shivaji kept the spirit of dedication for the family, let us also express the spirit of dedication and dedication for our family and make our life Shivamaya.

This is why nights are so important. For the night, it is described in the Ratrisukta that, The night that connects the soul with Shiva is called Shivaratri. We have a relationship with Mahadevji but that relationship is not connected. If there is one night to make this connection, it is Shivaratri. That is why it is prayed in the Vedas that, "Tanme manah Shivasankalpamastu." The mind that we have is to have auspicious resolutions and the same sentiment is expressed in the hymn "Shambhu surrendered". Said, "Let me see Shivarupa in a uniquely good creation." Thus, if there is an excellent festival or an excellent night to see the form of Shiva in the universe, it is Maha Shivaratri.

The importance of Shivaratri is given in Shiva Mahapuran's Vidyeshwar Samhita and Kotirudra Samhita and Shatrudra Samhita in such a way that the first gender appeared in the universe. Mahadevji preached knowledge to Brahmaji and Lord Vishnu. Shivaji of Brahmaji and Lord Vishnu became Guru. Then Mahadevji said, "My form will be transformed into the form of gender," and Mahadevji appeared in the form of gender. Bholanath said, "Since today I have appeared in the form of Shivling, this day will be known as Maha Shivaratri. Anyone who worships me on the day of Shivratri and may not be worshiped, will be burned away by the sins of seven births. " Pushpadantacharyaji says in Shivamahimna Stotra, "People of the unborn" means Mahadevjito is unborn. But he appeared in the universe in the form of gender.

Usually on Shivratri day we have special significance of night worship there. Why so So in his answer it is said that there are three qualities inside a human being. Sattva Guna, Rajo Guna and Tamo Guna. In which you Guna enters the human body at night. This is Shivaji, the destroyer of your virtues. Thus, the word is used for Mahadevji that he is the destroyer of the universe, but he does not do the rhythm of the creation but the rhythmic instinct that you have in your mind is the virtuous instinct. Not only does it create the rhythm of the universe but it also eliminates the tamas instinct. These disorders enter at night. Thus, it is important for him to worship Shivaji at night.

We see that Shiva temple is open 24 hours a day. Mahadevji says to all the people, "Come to me whatever you like and I will accept you." Shivaji’s culture is a culture of acceptance. He also accepts Nandi and also accepts Ganesha's musk. It also accepts Kartik Swami's Mayur and Mataji's lion. The line we have there is "Udar Charitamtu Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam" which is the spirit that has become meaningful in the Shiva family.

I remember an incident which was briefly described as a conflict between Ganeshji and Kartik Swami and the thing was that Kartik Swami said, marry me first. In the same way, Ganeshji said, "Marry me first." That is why Mahadevji made a condition that I will do the marriage of the person who comes first by circling the earth. In which Ganeshji experimented with intellect. He circumambulated Mahadevji and Mataji. Karthik Swami found out about this so he got annoyed and he left the whole of North India. Thus, the son's heart became hardened. However, every Amas, Mahadevji used to go to meet Kartik Swami every day and every Purnima, Mataji used to go to meet Kartik Swami. Thus, Shivaji explains to us how to live life even in the family. That the heart of a son is hard but the heart of a parent is never hard. Thus, Mahadevji also gives such a message to all of us.

On this auspicious occasion of Shivaratri, let us all pray to Shivaji that we may see you all over the world and see this creation as Shivamaya everywhere. Thus, the message of Shivaratri is the same that, just like Shivaji kept the spirit of dedication for the family, let us also express the spirit of dedication and dedication for our family and make our life Shivamaya with the same request.
