Friends ,you know I am reading a book these days-The Man From The Egg -Unusual Tales About The Trinity by Sudha Murthy. It's an excellent book telling us all about holy trinity -Brahma,Vishnu and Shiva.There are many tales related to these deities in this book.It was through this book that I came to know about significance of "Mahashivratri",as to why we celebrate it.Infact I got to know a lot about Indian mythology from this book ,so much that when my mom asked me a few questions,thinking that I might not know the answer,and when I correctly gave the answer she was surprised and praised me πand again started telling me about importance of reading.
So well friends let me tell you what I read in the book regarding celebration of Mahashivratri.Why do we celebrate Mahashivratri ?Well as the legend goes, it was on this day that Lord Shiva got married to daughter of Parvatraj,Himalaya.Her name was Parvati.On this day people go to temple and offer Bel Patra to lord Shiva and perform Rudra Abhishek.
Okay friends so that's it for this blog.Happy Fasting and happy Mahashivratri.Enjoy your day with loved ones.
Bye Bye ππ Until my next blogπ
OM NAMAH SHIVAY π
