Jyeshtha Masik Shivaratri

Welcome to the Panchangam podcast where we dive into the significance of Jyeshtha Masik Shivaratri, which is also known as the monthly Shivaratri.

This auspicious day falls on the 14th night of the Jyeshtha month in the Hindu calendar.

Jyeshtha Masik Shivaratri is a celebration of Lord Shiva, the supreme deity in Hinduism. It is believed that on this day, Lord Shiva performed the cosmic dance of creation, preservation, and destruction, known as the Tandava. This dance symbolizes the continuous cycle of life and death, and it is believed that by observing this day, one can attain liberation from the cycle of rebirth. On this day, devotees perform special prayers and puja (ritual worship) to Lord Shiva, offer flowers, fruits, and incense, and chant his mantras. Many also observe a fast as a way to purify their body and mind. As we celebrate Jyeshtha Masik Shivaratri, let us reflect on the teachings of Lord Shiva and strive to attain inner peace and enlightenment. May this auspicious day bring blessings and prosperity to all. Thank you for tuning in, and stay tuned for more enlightening episodes.
