Happy Maha Shivratri

I just realised that my post for Shivratri was never sent so here it is: By now we know that worship to Kanha is worship to the supreme. He is the only God and worship to any other results in worship to Him. At the mandir every year I hear the katha about the hunter and the deer and him doing service on Maha Shivratri to Lord Shiva without knowing it. As a part of the story the pundit talks about the sins that are the worst and he says that someone who loves Kanha but 'hates' Lord Shiva is committing a sin because worship to all the forms are equal to service to Kanha. He even points out that Kanha Himself asked Lord Shiva for boons and was given as asked. He tells that we should be able to understand that different forms were created so that we can focus our worship on certain aspects. Shivratri is one of the most important nights for Hindus and worshipping Lord Shiva is especially important to women who want a good husband or who want their husband to have a good relationship with them forever. Let us all join in worshipping Lord Shiva today and remembering that service to Him is equal to service to Kanha. I love the picture I chose today - it shows baby Kanha in an older Lord Shiva's arms. Jai Shri Krishna!
