happy Mahashivratri

गंगा नदी के घाट से मैंने तुझे याद किया है, तू ही आदि तू अनंत इस सच को जान लिया है। इक गंगा की डुबकी ने मेरी रूह को सुकून दिया है, महादेव के नाम ने मुझे नया जुनून दिया है। यहीं स्वर्ग है , नरक यहीं है, सोच पे पहरा देना पड़ेगा, खुशियों की गंगा तभी बहेगी, पहले थोड़ा त्याग का विष पीना पड़ेगा।। . Maha Shivratri is one of the most devotional festivals celebrated in India. and by people of Indian origin around the world.The word “Maha” means big and “Ratri” means night. It is believed that this is the day when Lord Shiva married Godess Parvati.
