Maine Hindu Temple (MHT) is celebrating auspicious Mahashivratrion Monday, the March 7^th and Monday happens to be dedicated to Lord Shiva and the celebration continues from Monday, March 7th through Wednesday, March 9th. Mahashivratri is popularly known as the night of Lord Siva and the most auspicious day dedicated to prayers and contemplation. When Lord Shiva is worshipped there is joy all around and the bliss is achieved through Brahman realization during that time Lord Shiva is seen in all animate and inanimate. Planetary position aligns in such a way, on Mahashivratri night, it naturally creates an upsurge of energy in the human system. For that reason traditionally it is known to be beneficial both physically and spiritually to stay awake and aware through the night.
