Mahashivratri: A Night of Divine Energy and Spiritual Awakening,' Says Shanaya Sharma

Actress Shanaya Sharma shared how she celebrates Mahashivratri and the deep spiritual connection she feels with Lord Shiva on this sacred occasion.

Mahashivratri means 'The Night of Shiva.' It is considered a special occasion to express devotion and reverence toward Lord Shiva. According to a mythological legend, on the Chaturdashi date of the Krishna Paksha of the month of Phalgun, Lord Shiva first manifested as a Jyotirlinga, and this is why Mahashivratri is celebrated.

Expressing her reverence, Shanaya shared, “Mahashivratri is not just a festival for me; it is a time of immense spiritual energy and devotion. Every year, I observe a fast, visit a Shiva temple, and offer milk, fruits, and flowers to the Shivling. Chanting Shiva mantras fills me with positive energy and peace.”

This year, Mahashivratri was even more special for her. She expressed, “I was truly blessed to get the darshan of Lord Shiva at both Shri Kashi Vishwanath Mandir in Varanasi and Shri Mahakal Mandir in Ujjain, back-to-back. It was a surreal and divine experience that strengthened my spiritual connection. I prayed for my family’s well-being and felt an overwhelming sense of peace and hope. My devotion to Shiva continues to guide me, and I look forward to visiting more Jyotirlingas soon.”

Shanaya's deep faith in Lord Shiva inspires many, and her celebration of Mahashivratri reflects the profound significance of this divine occasion.
