The Night of Shiva
Mahashivratri, the "Great Night of Shiva," is one of the most significant festivals in Hinduism. Unlike other festivals that are celebrated during the day, Mahashivratri is celebrated at night. But why?
According to yogic traditions, on this particular night, the northern hemisphere of the planet is positioned in such a way that there is a natural upsurge of energy in a human being. It is a day when nature pushes one towards one's spiritual peak.
The Tradition of Jagran
To allow this natural upsurge of energies to find their way, it is prescribed that one should remain awake with their spine vertical throughout the night. This is the reason behind the tradition of Jagran.
