MAHA SHIVARATRI 2019

Shivaratri: Awakening Devotion 

Shiva is unadulterated awareness. He is the Supreme Lord's most prominent bhakta as He is continually contemplating upon Narayana. Known as the Lord of Destruction, He represents the disintegration of the brain, which is actually what we need all together for unadulterated Love to stir inside the heart. Through His Grace, Shiva devastates our pride and conscience with the goal that bhakti can develop in our souls and we can ascend to accomplish the Lotus Feet of Lord Narayana.

By disregarding ourselves and remaining up throughout the night, revering and singing the wonders of God, Lord Shiva causes us to remain centered, break the examples of the brain, and to conquer the allurements of Maya which shield us from acknowledging God.
