Significance of Rudrabhishek in Mahashivratri:
Shivaratri is a momentous day in Hindu culture. The Shiva tattva, or energy, is extremely subtle, making it difficult for any conscious being to tap into it using intellect. And on Shivaratri, the Shiva tattva is remarkably similar to the manifest or Shakti. On this day, Shiva tattva manifests itself and blesses us with its Grace, pervading everything on a more gross basis. It is so similar that we can get a glimpse of Shiva energy by performing such rituals, such as Chanting or listening to Shri Rudram’s Chants.
When we look at the Shivaratri day’s astrology, we can see that the sun and moon are in positions that increase the Vaata (imbalance of air and space element). As a result, on Shivaratri, people worldwide are unable to sit in one position and meditate. Their bodies and minds force them to keep operating. As a result, the day of Shivaratri is set aside for celebrations and preparations for those celebrations.
