Mahasivaratri (20 February 2012)
Sivaratri is prescribed for the fourteenth night of the dark half of the month, the night previous to the new moon, when the moon suffers from total blackout. It is an auspicious night, because the mind can be made to lose its hold on man. The moon is the presiding deity of the mind. Of the sixteen aspects of the moon, fifteen are absent on this day. On this day, it is possible to get full control over the mind by contemplating on God. On this day Siva, Supreme Wisdom, takes the Linga Form for the benefit of the spiritual seekers.
