Significance of fasting and night vigil on Mahashivratri
Mahashivratri's unique approach emphasizes restraint over celebration, using fasting and night vigils as tools. Fasting reduces bodily distractions, sharpening awareness and breaking emotional habit loops. Staying awake disrupts autopilot, allowing observation of thoughts. This conscious disruption, supported by astrological influences, resets the system, leading to a lighter, calmer, and clearer state.
