Guest guest Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 Hullo friends, Tomorrow is the auspicious day of Maha - Shivaratri. My Guru tells us that Shivaratri is there every month on the 14 day of the Krishna Paksha. This day is good for meditation and communing with Shiva. But Maha-shivratri is something even more special. If one can sit thru the night with an erect spine in a somewhat meditative or thoughtful mood about Shiva, there is a great possibility to " feel " / " experience " His grace. I believe there is also a certain pattern in the constellation that is conducive to receiving His energies. I did a little experiment on the JHL by posting 00 hours for 27th Feb. - the hour of midnight for 26th. This is the position of the planets in the various Nakshatras - Lagna - Vishakha Sun - Stabhishak Moon - Dhanishta Mars - Rohini Mercury - P. Bhadra Jupiter - Vishakha Venus - U. Ashadha Shiva is the Adi Guru. Now is it a co-incidence that the Lagna has to be in Vishakha, lorded by Guru with Jupiter itself is in Vishakha? Jupiter is in the sign of exaltation of Saturn and Saturn is in the sign of exaltation of Jupiter. Moon is in the sign of exaltation of Mars and Mars is in the sign of exaltation of Moon. Most significant is the placement of Sun in Satabhishekh. I remember Sanjay ji mentioning in one of his Atri classes that this is a very significant Nakshatra which marks the changing of Yugas through precession. Sun signifying the soul being placed here must be important though I do not know exactly the reason why. MAy we all receive Shiva's grace.
