Embracing Tradition

Maha Shivratri, which translates to the “Great Night of Shiva,” is celebrated with great fervor across India and among Hindus worldwide. It falls on the 14th day of the dark fortnight in the Hindu month of Phalguna (February-March). This auspicious day is believed to be the time when Lord Shiva performed the cosmic dance of creation, preservation, and destruction.

Spiritual Significance

For devout Hindus, Maha Shivratri holds immense spiritual significance. It is a time for introspection, penance, and seeking the blessings of Lord Shiva. Devotees observe fasts, perform rituals, and offer prayers at Shiva temples throughout the night. The chanting of mantras, singing of bhajans (devotional songs), and recitation of Shiva scriptures create an atmosphere charged with divine energy.

Rituals and Customs

Maha Shivratri is marked by various rituals and customs that vary regionally but share a common thread of reverence for Lord Shiva. Devotees often visit Shiva temples, especially the twelve Jyotirlingas, which are considered to be the most sacred abodes of Lord Shiva. They offer belpatra (leaves of the bilva tree), milk, honey, water, and other traditional offerings to the Shiva Lingam, symbolizing the worship of the divine masculine energy.

Spiritual Awakening through Yoga and Meditation

Yoga and meditation hold a special place during Maha Shivratri celebrations. Many devotees engage in pranayama (breathing exercises), asanas (yoga postures), and dhyana (meditation) as a means of attaining spiritual enlightenment and connecting with the cosmic consciousness. The practice of yoga is believed to purify the body, mind, and soul, preparing devotees for deeper spiritual experiences.

Wellness and Fitness

As a sports and fitness equipment manufacturer, RioGrand encourages individuals to incorporate wellness practices into their daily lives, including during religious observances like Maha Shivratri. Engaging in physical activities such as yoga, meditation, and pilates not only promotes physical fitness but also enhances mental clarity and emotional well-being. By nurturing the body, mind, and spirit, individuals can experience holistic growth and fulfillment.

Shivratri 2024 Special: Must-Do 5 Works for the Pleasure of Lord Shiva

The auspicious festival of Mahashivratri is arriving soon on 08 March 2024. This day is supremely sacred to Lord Shiva and observing a fast and worship on Shivratri 2024 is known to be extremely dear to Him. Here are some special things you can do on this blessed day for the pleasure of Lord Shiva:

1.Chant the Shiva Panchakshara Mantra

The five-syllable mantra “Om Namah Shivaya” is the most beloved by Lord Shiva. Chant this mantra 108 times with devotion and focus on Shivratri 2024 for the contentment of the Divine Lord.

- Chant slowly and pronounce each syllable.

- Use malas or japa beads to easily keep count.

- Set a target like 11, 21, or 108 repetitions.

2.Perform Abhishekam

Abhishekam is the practice of bathing a deity in sacred liquids while chanting mantras. On Shivratri 2024, perform abhishekam on a Shiva lingam at home or in the temple using substances like milk, honey, curd, ghee, sandal paste, and bilva leaves. Offering bilva leaves is said to be especially pleasing to Shiva.

3.Make Bael Leaves Offering

Bilva or bael leaves are extremely sacred to Lord Shiva. Offer three leaves on Shivratri 2024 to please Him. Place one leaf on the Shiva lingam and chant “Om Namah Shivaya”. Place the second leaf while chanting “Om Namah Shivaya” again. Place the third leaf and repeat the mantra a final time. This simple ritual delights Mahadev.

- Pick fresh, unbroken leaves for your offering.

- You can offer just one leaf if three are not available.

4.Fast and Keep Vigil

Observing a fast on Shivratri shows devotion. Eat only fruits and milk before sunset. Stay awake all night chanting, praying, and singing bhajans in Lord Shiva's honor. Staying up vigilantly is a way to show commitment to Mahadev.

- Take the next day off from work or school to rest after staying up all night.

- Share Shiva stories and serve Prasad to others to make the vigil more engaging.

5.Pray at a Shiva Temple

On the night of Shivratri 2024, spend time at a temple dedicated to Lord Shiva. Attend the special puja and celebrations held on this night. Offer prayers, meditate, and take darshan of the Shiva lingam. Seek blessings and inspiration to take your spiritual practice deeper.

By doing these observances on Mahashivratri, we can demonstrate our utmost devotion to Lord Shiva and earn his divine grace. May this Shivratri 2024 bring you peace, fulfillment, and closeness to the eternal Lord.

Har Har Mahadev!

Om Sairam

Every Navrathri is a special occasion for all devotees and significantly for Sai devotees. The Navrathri leads to the Vijayadashami, the occasion of Sai’s Mahasamadhi. This Navrathri Baba and the Satcharitra got me thinking about another sacred nine-the Nav vidha Bakthi. In chapter 21 of Satcharitra, we learn about the nine forms/ways of worship. Following any one of these methods with loving devotion may lead us to stability and peace of mind or our own seemollanghan where we can finally unite with Baba.

Here I wish to capture some instances found in the Satcharitra, that inspires me to believe it is an act under one of the nine forms of worship.

1. SMARANA- Thinking about God or taking his name whenever you can is SMARANA or remembrance.Radhakrishnamai felt that the greatest form of Bakthi was namasmarana. She initiated constant reciting of Baba's name in the Dwarkamayee during many festivals and involved all the devotees in it.

Baba by his own example read the Ramavijaya at the time of his passing away to encourage everyone do the same so that most importantly at the time of our passing away we may remember God.

When the Rohilla used to constantly shout and remember the verses of Quran, Baba asked others to put up with it as there is nothing better than remembering God and as it would keep bad thoughts away.

Many times Baba has shown that merely thinking of Him would entail us of his help. The Satcharitra too asks us to remember the Chavadi procession every night before we go to bed or fall asleep.

When Nanasaheb Chandorkar is transferred to Pandharpur he wishes to visit Baba and ask Him to come to Pandharpur. As soon as Nanasaheb comes to Shirdi, Baba in Dwarkamayee is making Bhajan which is to the effect that He wishes to go to Pandharpur. This mere thought of Nanasaheb was graced and blessed by Baba.

2. Archana- Worshipping God with rituals is Archana. It often involves offerings and chantings. Megha is an ardent follower of Archana type of worship. He performs Aarti regularly to Baba both in person and in his wada. He performs Archana and pooja in the same manner it is done for Lord Shiva.Megha for the sake of doing abhisheka for Baba on the day of Shivratri walks miles and miles to get sacred water from Godavari and also regularly travels long distances to get Bilva leaves for worship.He daily performs Archana in all the temples and then performs Archana for Baba as well.

3. Dasya- Acting as a servant of the Lord. It normally involves performing various acts/ services for the God. Bagoji Shinde used to perform services all day to Baba. When Baba recieved a fire wound, Shinde used to daily apply ghee and tie new bandages.He would carry an umbrella for Baba whenever he left the Dwarkamayee and would always be present near Baba to do his bidding when Baba rested in Dwarkamayee.

Balaji Patil Newasker also used to daily sweep the roads on which Baba used to walk for his daily Biksha rounds.

Kakasaheb Dixit once when asked to sacrifice and behead a goat, still became ready to do it at the bidding of Baba, although he had never performed it before and would have been quite averse to do it by himself. He said he would do what Baba asked him to do.It was not his place to question Baba or to deny him.This is the true nature of Dasya or service.

4. Shravana- Listening to the stories of God and His name is Shravana.Once Hemadpant got a doubt in his mind about why Baba is blessing another with just a week's parayan/ study of the sacred books when he wasn't blessed even after so many years of service. For this Baba asked him to go listen to some Leelas from Shama. I feel when Hemadpant ji was going astray with doubtful thoughts Baba put him gently back on the path of Bakthi through Shravana.In turn Hemadpant also wrote the Satcharitra and helped everyone listen to/read the Leelas of Baba.

Baba also encouraged all his Bakthas to read sacred scriptures and also explain them to an audience.

5. Sakhyatva- Friendship with God.Shama many times did not behave very formally with Baba. When Mrs. Khaparde goes with her Naivedya and Baba eats it and relishes it, Shama asks him why the partiality. Only Shama could ask that. Another time Shama tells he doesn't want a naughty God who pinches him when Baba teases and touches him. Shama tells Mrs. Aurangabadkar that if Baba’s word doesn't come true he will himself drive out Baba from the masjid. He doesn't feel the need to be reserved with Baba yet at all times he turns to Baba without a second thought. While a scorpion bites him he still rushes to Baba without thinking or trying of a remedy first. He does worship to Baba when he has to fulfill vows to his family Goddess. He is in constant awe of Baba and realises that Baba is both the cause and effect when he says "Oh, Deva you sit here calm and composed and agitate the devotees and when they get restless, you draw them here, some in person and others through letters. If you know the contents of the letter, why do you then press me to read it?"and ""Deva, what is this play of Yours? You first raise a storm and make us restless and then calm it down and ease us”, such is Shama's devotion to Baba.

6. Padasevana- worshipping the feet of Baba

Worshipping the feet or padam/padukas of the Lord is very auspicious. In Satcharitra devotees of Baba make padukas of Baba and install it at the Neem tree where Baba used to sit when he first visited Shirdi and called it his Gurustaan. Aarti and Naivedya were performed daily there.

Padasevana for me can also be service at the feet of Baba.

Bayajama used to roam the forests daily to feed Baba lunch. Mrs. Khaparde never ate before offering Baba Naivedya and service.

Lakshmibai Khaparde daily prepared Naivedya and only after Baba had it she would eat. She also used to shampoo his legs. Mavsibai, Anna Chinchanikar,Nanasaheb Chandorkar , Hemadpant and so many other have regularly shampooed Baba's feet, hands and massaged him and Baba has allowed each one to worship Him with their own way of worship.

7. Keertana- Kirtana means singing the glory of God. Dasganu Maharaj is the most apt example of this. He sang kirtans about Baba and always did Kirtans and Bhajans with a photo of Baba and through his singing and story telling spread the glory of Baba. Nanasaheb Chandorkar was equally responsible for spreading the glory of Baba. Even though he did not sing, he spread and spoke about the glory of Baba and his Leelas to anybody and everybody he met. He made sure many people benefitted through Baba’s grace. For me Kirtana is spreading the glory and grace of God and hence none better than Nanasaheb comes to mind who spread Babas greatness to many.Many of Baba's Aarti was composed by KJ Bhishma. Madhav Adkars Aarti finds a place in Satcharitra.Reciting it helps in troubled times.Dasganu Maharaj's Stavana Manjari . The songs sung by women of Shirdi in praise of Baba like while grinding wheat in Chapter 1, all of it is Kirtana at its glorious best.

8. Namaskara- Falling at the feet and seeking the grace of Baba. The story of the Tarkhad family in Satcharitra reminds us the power of Namaskara. When mother and son leave for Shirdi they wonder who will perform pooja for Baba at their home and the father undertakes to do it. Before starting to perform pooja he does Namaskara to Baba and says let the worship not become a mere formal ritual but allow that it be done wholeheartedly. Then the pooja is successfully performed for a couple of days and on the third the Naivedya is absent-mindedly forgotten. This is communicated by Baba to the son and mother who are at Shirdi. That one sincere Namaskara was accepted by Baba and he accepted the pooja from that moment on and says today He had nothing to eat. That one sincere Namaskara made Baba visit their home everyday.

Baba also once tells Bala Buva who visits Shirdi for the first time that he has know him for four years.Bala Buva then understands that he had made Namaskara to Baba's photo 4 years ago and that was sufficient for Baba.

9.Atmanivedana- complete surrender to the feet of Lord.

Radhakrishna Mai is perfect embodiment of Atmanivedana. She is fondly referred to as Meera to Baba’s Krishna. She eats whatever prasad Baba send her from His plate. She initiates namasmarana, she asks devotees to get palkis and horses and dresses and many objects for worship just the same way Krishna or Vithoba is worshipped. She is called the 'school' by Baba for anyone who enters her presence can only gain Bakthi and understand Bakthi. She sweeps the roads that Baba walks everyday, she prepares the Naivedya and other prasad that Baba requires. She even when badly hurt or under severe ailment continues her service to Baba.

Kakasaheb Dixit is another devotee who surrendered at the feet of Baba. Although Nanasaheb had suggested Baba' s name to cure Kakaji of his injured leg, Kakaji after hearing about Baba had instead wished that Baba would cure the lameness of his mind. And so after some years of regularly visiting Shirdi he built a wada there and constantly thought of Baba and did Baba's every bidding and grew his spiritual self as per Baba's instructions. He slowly left behind his temporal jobs and activities and took the spiritual path under Baba’s guidance. He was speaking of Baba till his final breath.

This is a humble attempt at expressing myself and my love for Baba, if there be any mistakes ,I request you to forgive me.

Om Sayee , Sri Sayee , Jaya Jaya Sayee

Maha Shivratri is an auspicious and great festival of convergence of Shiva and Shakti. Masik Shivratri which is celebrated every month on the Chaturdashi Tithi of Krishna Paksha, is known as Maha Shivaratri (which is observed once a year) in the month of Magha, according to Amavasyant School. Again, according to Purnimant School Masik Shivaratri in the month of Phalguna is known as Maha Shivaratri. In both schools it is naming convention of lunar month which differs. However, both Purnimant and Amavasyant Schools, celebrate all Shivaratris including Maha Shivaratri on same day. The day of Maha Shivratri is dedicated exclusively to the worship Lord Shiva and is observed with great great devotion to appease the Supreme One. Maha Shivratri Story There are many mythological legends associated with this day. According to a popular legend, when a hunter could not find anything to kill for food in a forest, he waited on the branch of a Woodapple tree. In order to attract a deer, he started throwing the leaves of the tree on the ground, unaware that there was a Shiva Lingam beneath the tree. Pleased with the Woodapple leaves and the patience of the hunter, it is believed that Lord Shiva appeared in front of the hunter and blessed him with wisdom. From that day onwards, the hunter stopped eating meat. Some folklore also considers this to be Shiva’s day as this was believed to be the answer given by Lord Shiva when asked about his favorite day by Goddess Parvati. Another belief behind Shivratri celebration is associated with the legend of Samudramanthan. It is said that on this day, Lord Shiva drank the deadly poison, which otherwise had the potential of destroying the whole world. Once the devas (Gods) and asuras (devils) were churning the ocean of milk. During the churning process, several things came out of the ocean. Among all those things were a pot of poison. The poison had the potential to destroy the universe, which frightened the devas (Gods) and asuras (devils). To seek help, they ran to Lord Shiva, the Lord of destruction. Lord Shiva, in order to save the universe from the deadly effect of poison, swallowed it. This act resulted in Lord Shiva’s throat turning blue, for which he earned the name ‘Nilkantha’. To celebrate this event of Lord Shiva, Shivaratri is celebrated. Maha Shivratri is a Hindu festival which is celebrated by people following Hinduism in India. People often fast on the night of Shivratri and sing hymns and praises in the name of Lord Shiva. Hindu temples across the country are decorated with lights and colorful decorations and people can be seen offering night long prayers to Shiva Lingam. Woodapple leaves, cold water and milk are offered to the Shiva Lingam on this day as they are believed to be Lord Shiva’s favorite. It is believed that the people who fast on this night and offer prayers to Lord Shiva bring good luck into their life. The most popular Maha Shivratri celebrations take place in Ujjain, believed to be the place of residence of Lord Shiva. Large processions are carried out throughout the city, with people thronging the streets to catch a glimpse of the revered idol of Lord Shiva. Maha Shivratri Rituals One day before Shivratri fast, devotees eat only one time. On Mahashivaratri day, after finishing morning routine, devotees take a Sankalp to observe a full-day fast and break it only on the next day. On Shivratri pujan day, devotees take a second bath in the evening before doing Shiva puja, which is done during the night. Hence, the devotees who observe fast on Shivratri and are known to keep awake during the night and perform Shiva Puja at midnight. This is because Shivaratri Pujan is suggested during midnight which is known as Nishita Kaal and prevails for two Ghati. Nishita Kaal Muhurta is specially enlisted everywhere to perform Shiva Pujan for all Shivaratri fasts. The fast is broken the next morning by having the Prasad after taking bath. The two baths are taken in the water boiled with til seeds (sesame seeds) on Shivratri Puja day. It is believed that bathing with this water washes away the bodily impurities. After wearing clean clothes, Lord Shiva’s temple is visited by the devotees to perform the rituals of the day. To invoke Lord’s blessings, Aarti is performed, Bhajans are sung and incense sticks are lighted and the devotees chant “Om Namah Shivaya” and worship the Lord throughout the day and the night. For Shivratri puja, a three-tiered podium (raised platform) is built using wooden planks. The top plank represents heaven (Swarga), middle plank represents space (Antariksh) and the bottom plank signifies earth (Bhuloka). On the top plank i.e. the Swarga plank, eleven Kalash are kept which symbolizes the 11 forms (Avatars) of Lord Shiva. The Kalash are then decorated with bel leaves after which a coconut is placed on it, which represents the head of Lord Shiva. For best results, devotees are known to pray four times on the Mahashivratri night. Therefore, Shivratri puja can be performed one time or four times during the night. The whole night can be divided into four quarters to perform Shiva puja four times. The offerings to be made to Lord Shiva during the four quarters of the night are as follows: Time : Offerings to be made to Lord Shiva on Shivratri : First Quarter Til (Sesame Seeds), Jav, Lotus, Belvapatra. Second Quarter Fruit of Vijora, Lemon, Kheer. Third Quarter Til, Wheat, Malpua, Pomegranate, Kapur. Fourth Quarter Udadh dhal (white lentils), Jav, Moong, Shankhpushpi leaves, Belva-patra and Pakoras. Mantras for Maha Shivratri 1. Shiva Moola Mantra “Om Namah Shivaya॥” 2.
