“Tryambakam yajaamahe sugandhim pushtivardhanam
Urvaarukamiva bandhanaan mrityor mukshiya maamrtaat.”
This powerful verse from the Rig Veda really captures the essence of Shiva:
He is the Three-eyed One who nourishes and protects us, and ultimately liberates us from the cycle of death and rebirth.
As you keep vigil and offer your prayers tonight, may Mahadev bless you with the strength to overcome all obstacles on your path. May your devotion and surrender lead you to the ultimate realization of your true self.
Wishing you all a transformative and blissful Maha Shivaratri!
Om Namah Shivaya!
