Maha Shivaratri Jagaran: The Secret Behind Staying Awake All Night Revealed!

• Maha Shivaratri, celebrated on Magha Chaturdashi, is highly significant in Hindu Sanatana Dharma, marking the marriage of Shiva and Parvati.
• Jagaran (staying awake all night) is central to Shivaratri, with Abhishekam and Archana performed for Lord Shiva during the night.
• The tradition of Jagaran originates from deities staying awake to keep Lord Parameshwara conscious after he swallowed Halahalam (poison) to save the world.
• Devotees fast, chant Shiva-Rama hymns, and stay awake to receive blessings, as Lord Shiva is believed to have appeared as a Lingam around midnight.
• During Jagaran, devotees should purify themselves, fast (consuming only fruits and water), chant divine names, and avoid entertainment, focusing on Shiva Purana or devotional content.
