Masik Shivratri Fast Mythology
According to mythology and old scriptures, Lord Shiva was descended in the form of Shivling at the midnight of Mahashivratri, and the first worship of this Shivling was done by Brahma and Lord Vishnu. Since that time, this day has been celebrated as the birthday of Lord Shiva. In Shastras it is said that the goddesses like Laxmi, Saraswati, Gayatri, Seeta, Parvati, and Rati had also observed the fast of Shivratri for the salvation of their life.
According to a prevailing mythology, when the whole earth was burning due to the anger of Lord Shiva and it was about to be turned into ashes, that time goddess Parvati did Tapasya to calm Lord Shiva. That is why it is believed that observing fast on Shivratri controls the anger of humans.
According to another Mythology, once there was a dispute between Lord Vishnu and Brahma about who is the best in both. That time, Lord Shiva appeared as a pillar of fire and just said, ‘I can’t see any end in this type of pillar’. Then, after hearing this, they both realized their mistake and asked for forgiveness to Lord Shiva. This is why it is said that observing the fast of Mahashivratri ends the ego in humans.
Apart from this, the Shivratri fast is also observed to be blessed with a baby and get rid of all the health issues. It also brings happiness, peace and prosperity.
