Lord Shiva is the representation of the primordial energy from which everything was born and to which everything in the universe will disintegrate into. This is the night where Lord Shiva is said to have revealed the dance (Tandava) of primeval conception, preservation and destruction.
Maha Shivaratri occurs once a year, and in 2010, it falls on March 2nd in India (and March 1st in North America).
Prayers offered during Maha Shivaratri are promised to be amplified 10 million times. So, if there is a time of the year when you can purify your thoughts and activate the empowerment of your goals, it is this special night. It is definitely within your power to do this, and AstroVed calls for everyone to be a part of this unique event and make it as productive for yourself as you possibly can.
Chant this perfect Mantra for accelerated lifetime materializations: "Om Namah Shivaya".
As you keep vigil this night, you become aware of your life and karma. It is a great opportunity to connect with the divine formless form (Linga) of Lord Shiva who symbolizes 'all-auspiciousness', and to invite these energies in your life. In essence, Maha Shivaratri signifies the transition from the darkness of gloom and ignorance to the dawn of divine joy and knowledge.
