maha shivrati ki hardik subhkamnay!
ReplyDeletesiv ji ap sb ki mno kamnaye puri kre.
ॐनमः शिवाय़।
Prompt please where it is written that mahashivaratri to celebrate with trayodasi on caturdasi? Did Shiva Mahapurana does not say that this feast is celebrated exactly in caturdasi?
DeleteHow to properly celebrate this holiday in catudasi titthi or caturdasi vrata? For ekadasi is a special system of calculations, so if ekadasi mixed with dasami the feast has been moved on dvadasi. Does it not to be the case with calculations come caturdasi?
Thanks in advance for your reply. With respect SadaaShiwa.
