 Mahasivarathri this year falls on the 7th March 2016. On this day,there is a very powerful possibility of raising oneself in spiritual terms.That is why in the vedic culture,they said that we must not sleep on Mahasivarathri,and rather,should focus on spirituality.


So here are some really powerful Shiva Mantras that can be learnt and chanted as a sadhana for Mahasivarathri and whenever possible.These will be extremely powerful in experience wise.

Mantras :

(1) Sri Rudram and Chamakam.

    - Sri Rudram is considered as the most powerful vedic chant ever.It is extremely powerful.In fact, the basic mantra ' Om namah Sivaya' comes from Sri Rudram.The Maha Mrtyunjaya mantra also comes from Rudram ( Tryambakam yajamahe... ) In fact,it is said that chanting the Sri Rudram once is equivalent to reading the Shiva Puranam 11 times ( tamil literature ).

Wishing everyone a prosperous Mahasivarathri celebration. 

Please adhere to a spiritual lifestyle for maximum benefits.On that day,make sure to

(1) Keep spine erect and straight all the time.Keeping the spine straight itself is a powerful spiritual process 

(2) Watch diet and habits.Avoid too much eating and non-vegetarian food.Avoid too much talking.Be in meditativeness.

(3) Watch spiritual satsangs on Shiva,read Shiva stories,be prayerful in seeking for God-realisation / enlightenment.

Shiva does not denote a God only.Shiva refers to the state of enlightenment.The source ( GOD )is in all of us.All of us should aspire to be in the state of Shiva / God.

Shivoham Shivoham Shivoham !
