Happy Maha Shivaratri everyone✨

Maha Shivaratri is a Indian festival celebrated annually in honour of the god Shiva

Shiva is known as "The Destroyer" within the Trimurti, the Hindu trinity that includes Brahma and Vishnu.

Generator - Brahma
Operator - Vishnu

Maha Shivaratri is the night when Shiva performs the heavenly dance of creation, preservation and destruction

Let's do this chanting of hymns and joins this cosmic dance and remembers Shiva's presence everywhere 🙏

Shiva Yajur Mantra (Karpur Gauram Karunavtaram) is a powerful mantra usually chanted during the time of arati. It is one of the most popular Hindu mantras related to Lord Shiva.

जिनका शरीर कपूर की तरह गोरा है, जो करुणा के अवतार है, जो शिव संसार के सार (मूल) हैं और जो महादेव सर्पराज को गले के हर के रूप में धारण करते हैं, ऐसे हमेशा प्रसन्न रहने वाले भगवान शिव को अपने ह्रदय कमल में शिव और पार्वती के साथ नमस्कार करता हूँ ||
