Guest guest Posted September 5, 2005 Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 Respected members of Om Namah Shivay Group, Om Namah Shivay to all of you! Maha Shivaratri is a festival which is very dear to Lord Shiva. Performing it on correct days is supposed to bestow "chaturvarga" i.e. Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha. As I am basically a Kashmiri Pandit, we celebrated it there with great faith and fervour. In fact, the preparations for this festival would last for about a fortnight and the culmination was in Vatuka Puja. Since rituals are supposed to be celebrated on proper timings -- muhurtas -- you can well imagine the consequences of celbrating such festivals deliberately on wrong days! And that is exactly what we have been doing over the last about three centuries, thanks to the tireless efforts of "Vedic astrologers" including overseas "Vamadevas" who propagated a so called non-existent nirayana Rashichakra! It is not only Maha Shivaratri that is being celebrated on wrong days but every festival is facing a similar fate, with the result that we well be celebrating Pitramavasya on October 2, 2005, which is actually Dipavali as per all the shastras! There is a forum HinduCalendar for a free and fair discussion on this crucual topic. I suggest that you also join that group and study all the files and corespondence etc. there and enter into this heated debate. Om Namah Shviay!

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2005 Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 Dear Avtar Kishen Kaul, Lord shiva is a kind god he will not get angry becauase we are celebrating Shiv Ratri on wrong days. What Lord shiva sees is true bhakti, not dates, your argument does not hold any logic, so please try to do something useful and constructive.

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 Prayers to Lord Shiva can be any time. Is important the intention, not just the days.
