While most of the festivals are celebrated during day time... Deepawali and Mahashivratri are two such festivals that give more significance to night.
For those who arent aware... story of Mahashivratri begins like this: After the samundra manthan (Churning of the sea, thats another story altogether). Alongwith a lot of other things, came Halahala... a dangerous poison that could finish the entire universe. Before this poison could spread all over, Lord shiva drank whole of it and here's where the story of Mahashivratri begins.
Lord Shiva had to be kept awake that night to prevent the poison from flowing down his throat. Hence all the Devotees spent the night...singing songs in honor of Lord Shiva to keep him awake. This is why Mahashivratri is also a test of the true devotee.
Even to this day, on Mahashivratri people stay awake whole night (Jaagran) and sing Bhajans.
Talking about Bhajans... there is one from the movie Bhairavi --- OM NAMAH SHIVAYA. I had been searching for this song since long and now finally found it on cooltoad.
After I found the song... I wanted the lyrics however nowhere on the net it was available. So finally I wrote the lyrics for anyone searching like me. This song definitely has a soothing effect on the listener.
I had a tough time writing this song because of all the musical notes in between... and doubtlessly its going to be equally difficult to sing those notes unless you are are trained singer.
SHIV ki jyoti se noor milta hai sabke dilon ko suroor milta hai, jo bhi jaata hai BHOLEY ke dwaar, kuch na kuch zaroor milta hai "JAI BABA AMARNATH" jai Shiv Onkara Har Shiv Onkara, Brahma Vishnu Sadashiv Arddhagni Dhara, Om Hara hara Mahaadevaa... May the lord Shiva bless u. May Lord Shiva Answer all your prayers on Mahashivratri & always. Om Namah Shivaya. Maha Shivratri ke is pawan parv par safalta ka damru sadev aap ke liye bajta rahe. "Jai Shiv Shankar Bholenath Ki" Happy Mahashivratri 2011
