Happy Maha Sivaratri

"It is for the well-being of the world that Siva swallowed the Halahala poison. Again, it is for the sake of the world's good that Siva contained the Ganga in His matted locks. Siva bears the moon on His head to confer peace of mind on mankind. When man moulds himself on the pattern of Easwara, he will get rid of all his evil tendencies and offer to the world what is good in him. This is the meaning of the worship of Siva. It is only when man gives up utterly his bad thoughts, evil desires and wicked deeds, he will be able to transform himself into divinity."

~ Sri Sathya Sai Baba ~
(Divine Discourse - 23.2.1990)
