And as the devotees muse over Lord Shiva’s ‘mahaamrityunjaya’ form on Mahashivratri, they find themselves emboldened as well as the free from the scare of death. The defeat that Lord Shiva gave to death is something that easily comes to mind whenever we find ourselves deep into the state of mind that marks Shiv Puja.

Many devotees worship Lord Shiva for His trait of being tenderhearted. And through this, they earn His blessings and grace. Many hymns and verses also form an essential part of Shiv Puja and they keep ringing in the ears of interested listeners even after they are through with their puja. Thus, make it a point to enjoy the entire spiritual aspect associated with Shiva Puja. In this way, the blessings of dear Shiva will undoubtedly come your way.
