According to the legend from Shivapurana, when Shiva was asked by Parvathi what pleases him most, He is supposed to have replied thus: ‘The 14th night of the new moon, in the dark fortnight during the month of phalgun, is my most favorite day. It is known as Shivarathri'. Shivaratri is transcendental, divine consciousness which brings solace to all layers of consciousness. Resting in the Shiva tatva is Shivarathri. What is Rudra Pooja God is worshipping us every day! Imitating that god is doing to us is pooja. An action born out of a blossomed mind is pooja. Honouring from the heart which is full is pooja. Gurudev throws new light on the meaning of the word pooja. Rudrapooja is an ancient practice that has been followed in India since time immemorial. Rudra means Shiva – The Benevolent, The Destroyer of evil. Pooja means that which is born of fullness. Through this pooja one can aim for inner peace and fulfillment. The world is a play of energy, negative and positive. When we pray to Shiva – the Lord of transformation; the entire negative energy around us in the form of disease, depression, and unhappiness gets transformed into peace, prosperity and joy. Peace around us, in the mind, body and soul.
