So I am back, in the world of BLOGGING. And what better day can this be, as today is MAHA SHIVRATRI.
"Maha Shivratri (the 'Great Night of Shiva') is a Hindu festival celebrated every year in reverence of Lord Shiva. The Mahashivratri festival, also much popular as 'Shivratri' or 'Great Night of Lord Shiva', is observed on the 13th night/14th day in the Krishna Paksha every year on the month of Maagh according to the Hindu calendar. Alternate common spellings include Sivaratri, Shivaratri, Sivarathri, and Shivarathri. It marks the convergence of Shiva and Shakti. Maha Shivratri is celebrated on the Krishna Paksha Chaturdashi of Hindu calendar month Maagha which falls in February orMarch as per the Gregorian calendar. Of the twelve Shivaratris in the year, the MahaShivarathri is the most powerful[3].
The festival is principally celebrated by offerings of Bael or golden apple or Bilva/Vilvam leaves to Lord Shiva, all-day fasting and an all-night-long vigil (jagarana). All through the day, devotees chant "Om Namah Shivaya", a sacred Panchakshara mantra dedicated to Lord Shiva. In accordance with scriptural and discipleship traditions, penances are performed in order to gain boons in the practice of Yoga"
This SHIVRATRI is SPECIAL FOR ME AS TODAY, I MET WITH AN ACCIDENT, BUT, THE LORD SAVED ME AND GAVE ME A NEW LIFE.
Yes, so the incident.
I have a BIKE now, ROYAL ENFIELD BULLET ELECTRA 350CC.
I was trying to overtake a big bus, which is an interstate bus, but as soon as I was about to overtake, I saw two people walking, in order to protect those people, I had slowed down the vehicle, but, since the vehicle is too heavy, i eventually fell down, as both the bus and bike were at great speed, due to which I tumbled.
Thanks to the LORD SHIVA, that I am alive today, nothing happened, and for the BIKE, it will get reparied.
OH LORD! ALWAYS BESTOW YOUR BLESSINGS ON ME LIKE THIS.
HAR HAR MAHADEV.
Lord is indeed here, protecting all mankind.
With this, I will end up by WISHING EVERYONE HAPPY MAHA SHIV RATRI
