Hare Krishna to all the devotees \
All glories to srila Prabhupada
Today is the auspicious occasion of maha Shivaratri. So I wanted to know about something about shivratri
- Why do we celebrate maha Shivaratri
- Does other shivratris also occurs
- What do devotees do on Mahashivratri (since lord shiva is the greatest devotee as explained in SB)

Maha Shivaratri is observed to honor Lord Shiva’s appearance and his role as the greatest devotee, often linked to events like his cosmic dance or marriage to Parvati. Devotees usually fast, chant, and offer prayers, so are you looking for guidance from a specific tradition like ISKCON or general practices?
Here is my compilation on this festival:
