Guest guest Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 Namaste, beloved family! i found the following on the web; it was written by someone named 'Amrita'. Thank-you for this bit of wisdom, Amrita! Why the All-Night Waking on Maha Siva Ratri? "The Abhishekham is a life-giving process. It is the sprinkling of the seeds of all life forms in the world on the Linga (or the characteristic of God rising in you). You have to be aware, awake, so you can observe and know what is happening. That is why we keep awake or do Jagaran on the night of Maha Siva Ratri. We forgot our intrinsic divine nature, we forgot our powers, and are crying like helpless creatures. We forgot we can, and do indeed, create our destiny." Jai Maa! Jai Swamiji! Jai Ramakrishna Deva! muktimaa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
