Guest guest Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Namah Shivaya Namaste Panditji, 3am Friday in India would be 4:30 pm (Eastern time)on thursday in USA. So does it mean the real MahaShivaratri night would be Thursday night here and the person should fast on thursday. regards, Shailendra , " arjun " <panditarjun2004 wrote: > > dear shivbhakt > om namo bhagawate rudraya > > the magha krishna chaturdasi tithi which is celebrated as mahashivaratri starts in india on friday the 12th february from the wee hours of 0300 and lasts till next day early morning of 0500 hours. since usa timing is approximately 12 hours after india, you are advised to follow mahashivaratri on 12th friday in usa. > > with best wishes and blessings > pandit arjun > www.rudraksharemedy.com > > , Shailendra Bhatnagar <bhatnagar_shailendra@> wrote: > > > > Namah Shivaya > > Namaste to all members, > > Can somebody tell me please which day should MahaShivaratri be celebrated in America ?

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 dear shivbhakt om namo bhagawate rudraya here we follow the tithi for celebration when it is in the morning when the sun rises. in some geographies of india, they follow the night of the tithi for fasting. few people in india are observing mahashivaratri on 13th also for reasons known to themselves. however, considering all angles, it is prudent for you in usa to follow mahashivaratri on friday the 12th itself and not on thursday. with best wishes and blessings pandit arjun www.rudraksharemedy.com , " Shailendra Bhatnagar " <bhatnagar_shailendra wrote: > > Namah Shivaya > Namaste Panditji, > 3am Friday in India would be 4:30 pm (Eastern time)on thursday in USA.
