Shiva is pure consciousness. Known as the Lord of Destruction, he stands for the dissolution of the mind, which is exactly what we need in order for pure Love to awaken inside the heart. Through his Grace, Shiva destroys our pride and ego so that bhakti can grow in our hearts and we can rise to attain the Lotus Feet of Lord Narayana.
As we bathe him in the form of a lingam, he is cleaning our inner impurities and awakening the devotion within us, so that we can realise him in our hearts and see him everywhere.
“Shivaratri is when you forget about your mind and let your mind dwell only on the Divine. That’s what Shivaratri is – it is uplifting you and really awakening what is deep inside of you.“
Paramahamsa Vishwananda
