According to the Hindu calendar, this fast of Shivaratri is known as monthly Shivaratri on Chaturdashi Tithi during Krishna Paksha. Shivaratri is the great festival of the convergence of Shiva and Shakti. Monthly means 'Maha or month' and Shivaratri means 'Lord Shiva's night'. According to Indian mythology, Lord Shiva appeared as Linga at the midnight of Maha Shivaratri. Shiva Linga was first worshiped by Lord Vishnu and Lord Brahma. This day is celebrated every month while Mahashivaratri falls once a year. Fasting of the monthly Shivaratri helps in achieving desired wishes.
हिंदू कैलेंडर के अनुसार, शिवरात्रि के इस व्रत को कृष्ण पक्ष के दौरान चतुर्दशी तिथि को मासिक शिवरात्रि के रूप में जाना जाता है। शिवरात्रि शिव और शक्ति के मिलन का महान पर्व है। मासिक का अर्थ है 'महा या मास' और शिवरात्रि का अर्थ है 'भगवान शिव की रात'। भारतीय पौराणिक कथाओं के अनुसार, महाशिवरात्रि की मध्यरात्रि में भगवान शिव लिंग के रूप में प्रकट हुए थे। शिव लिंग की सबसे पहले भगवान विष्णु और भगवान ब्रह्मा ने पूजा की थी। यह दिन हर महीने मनाया जाता है जबकि महाशिवरात्रि साल में एक बार आती है। मासिक शिवरात्रि का व्रत करने से मनोवांछित फल की प्राप्ति होती है।
Devotees, who wish to observe the monthly Shivaratri fast, can start it from the day of Mahashivaratri and continue it for a year. It is believed that by following the grace of Lord Shiva, observing the monthly Shivaratri fast can accomplish impossible and difficult tasks. Devotees should stay awake during Shivaratri and perform Shiva Puja during midnight. Unmarried women observe this fast to get married and married women observe this fast to maintain peace and tranquility in their married life.
