Mahashivratri is the day of Shiva. Shiva exists when there is beauty, truth, and kindness and the Shiva principle is present everywhere. However, Shiva is not a person. It is the principle that constitutes the entirety of the good of all creation and pervades the entire universe. This principle, known as the Shiva Tattva, is the essence of life and exists deep within all living beings.
On Mahashivratri, we celebrate the Shiva Tattva by delving deep within ourselves, meditating, and basking in the Shiva energy. There are particular days and times of the year when one’s mental health and spiritual skills improve, and Mahashivratri is one such valuable day.”

History & Significance of Mahashivratri in Kashi
Kashi Vishwanath is the most famous temple of Varanasi, People all around the world fly from various regions to visit Kashi, also known as Varanasi. Prayers and praise continue late into the night. On Mahashivaratri, devotees worship Shiva by offering milk, bhang, dhatura, flowers, coconut, fruits, and so on, as well as singing bhajans in his honor. They also recite shlokas (verses) from the scriptures, pray in the morning and evening, and many devotees fast all day. On Mahashivaratri, the Kashi Vishvanath temple is the focal point of religious activity and worship in Varanasi, with thousands of devotees flocking there to pray to Varanasi’s dwelling god, Lord Shiva.
In Hindu mythology, there are numerous stories about the origin of Mahashivaratri. One of its famous stories of the Mahashivaratri celebration is when the Devas (Gods) and Asuras (demons) churned the Ocean of Milk. According to legend, while both Gods and Demons were churning the Ocean of Milk in search of amrita (water of immortal life), they discovered a variety of odd chemicals, including the fatal poison. When they touched the poison, it burst into lethal fumes, threatening to cover the entire cosmos in darkness. When the Gods realized that the universe was doomed, they went to Brahma and Vishnu, but neither could help, so they turned to Lord Shiva, who condensed the fumes with his trident.
