This Maha Shivaratri is observed and celebrated to celebrate My manifestation from Nishkala Svarupa and everything that exists. From My pure formlessness, unclutched Nishkala Svarupa space, I manifested and continue to manifest everything that exists. From that space, I manifested as everything that exists: Nirvikalpa, Niranjana, Nirakara, and Nishkala Svarupa. This manifestation is the Lingodbhava in Arunachala. This is the day again and again I am intensely available for every one of you to experience the State of Paramashiva.
Maha Shivaratri is when I manifested from timelessness into time. So this is the beginning of time. This is the beginning of the form. From My formlessness, I manifested as form. From My timelessness, I manifested as time. So, this is the beginning of everything that exists. My creation aspect – Srishti – is the manifestation aspect. My maintenance dimension – Sthiti – is the sustenance dimension of this whole Universe. And My rejuvenation dimension – destruction or rejuvenation dimension. This destruction and rejuvenation continuously happen in everything, in everyone. That is the way life functions. All your great transformation occurs when you understand this destruction and rejuvenation is the best form of existence.
