Shiva is said to have appeared as a blazing pillar of fire, of infinite magnitude that to destroy the pride of both Brahma and Sri Hari vishnu,
The day on which this fire which usually consist the three constituents that of sound, feeling and color manifest as image of shiva is celebrated in the form of Shivratri,
And On this pillar of fire water is poured to prove self on the cord of submission to neutralize self,
Fire is the Shiva and water is the spirit, fire is the cause of water and Shivaratri is the day of conjunction for both,
Next monday or coming monday is the day of Shivratri same as that that of Sawan equally celebrated as that of Maha Shivratri of phagun,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks Please
