Maha Shivratri is the day when the Shiva Tattva touches the earth. The consciousness, the aura or the ethereal world which is always ten inches above the material ground, touches the earth element on the day of Maha Shivratri. It is the wedding of the material with the spiritual.

Shivratri is taking refuge in the divine consciousness which brings peace and solace to all layers of consciousness. So resting in the Shiva Tattva is Shivratri.

The Significance of Maha Shivratri

According to the Shiva Purana when Shiva was asked by Parvati, what pleases him the most, he is supposed to have replied, 'The 14th night of the new moon, of the month of Phalgun is my favorite day.' This is known as Shivratri.

Ratri means 'to take refuge'. Shivratri is taking refuge in Shiva, in the soul. It is celebrating the Shiva Tatva within oneself.
