Maha Shiva Ratri
About
Chinmaya Mission Australia invites you to join us with your family to do the Abhishek (bathing) of the Lord and be blessed!!Shiva Ratri is the most auspicious day and Lord's grace is at the highest. Try to gain as much of that Grace through the below practices. Try to wake up early before sunrise, clean your altar, light the lamp & offer flowers to the Lord, try to eat minimal (fast completely if you can, otherwise drink/eat just milk, water & bananas (fruits) only during meal times). Refrain from unnecessary talk (try to maintain Silence) during the day till midnight, contemplate on the Lord's name, a verse from the scriptures or meditate on the Lord/Self.
