Rest in Shiva

An event organised to feel Shiva on the banks of River Narmada. Shivotsav - Rest in Shiva was the best experience which encourages me to never miss mist of Mahashivratri. It was a nice time which I spent similar to the kailas parvat shiv dham. As this festival is factual and has pure scientific approach I would like to unbox the spirituality in the science which signifies the trend of fasting and awakening.

Break you Myths and Beliefs on Maha shivratri

1. Fasting never weakens you rather it energises you and helps in serving of the body. It saves your energy which is used in digestion or other metabolism.


2. Chanting spends the energy is the false belief rather is the best method of energy conservation.


3. Mahashivratri is for addiction celebration as Shiva is addicted of cigar, pipe, ganjas etc. which is very wrong and false propaganda used to impose self disbelief.
