"Legend has it that when Siva, in order to save the world, swallowed Haalahala (poison), He lost consciousness and fell down. The resultant heat affected the world. In order to cool down the world, Siva created Himalayas. He then placed on His stomach Himalayas. As a result the Himalayas absorbed all the heat from His body and He got up. This event is being celebrated as Sivarathri . This is only a worldly interpretation. Truly speaking the whole world is contained within Him. Such Divinity has neither birth nor death. Under the body may change, but the Divine principle remains the same. Love never undergoes any change. It remains always love. "
