Spiritual Transformation – Mahashivratri is considered an auspicious night for shedding past karma, seeking blessings, and achieving Moksha (liberation) through devotion and meditation.
On this night, devotees observe fasts, chant Shiva mantras, perform Rudrabhishek, and stay awake to absorb the divine energies. It is one of the most powerful nights for spiritual growth and inner transformation.
