Maha Shivaratri – March 10th,
2013
Shivaratri is a night of auspiciousness where the entire cosmos
reverberates with Bliss and Harmony. Shiva means Bliss, Harmony and Auspicious.
On Shivaratri if one meditates he experiences a great Harmony in himself, a
Blissful communion with the divinity within; an expansive connectivity with the
entire cosmos. Of course, the entire activity of the Cosmos is nothing but the
cosmic dance of Lord Shiva. On Shivaratri day, through meditation, if you tune
your life rhythm with the cosmic rhythm of Lord Shiva’s dance – Ananda
Thandava, if one integrates completely with that eternal symphony, then the
internal purification sets in; the negative, poisonous vibrations of misery,
agony, ill-health will melt away and the waves of Bliss blessed with harmony
will enrich the life to lead a vibrant, happy, harmonious living.
