Masasivaratris also have similar potentialities and confer benefits
equally; however, the annual celebrations out weight the monthly
ones. The well-known and widely practised
fasting and waking up the whole night, vupavasa and
jagarana are eagerly awaited and fervently observed by all classes
of people transcending creeds and sects that demarcate the
devotional community into fragments innumerable. This incidentally
reflects the recognition of the sacredness of the moment and
expressing gratitude to Siva. for the mahatkarya of saving mankind
from extinction of life, and annihilation of all that then living,
besides His adjudication of the case. Siva is Siva, none else stands
fit to be compared with His Omnibenevolence. If only one spends the
whole night even with listening to the Siva lilas specially
broadcast through media, leave alone spending money for the
performance of pujas, he entitles mukti and the Lord's anugrah. So
pious men waste not, procrastinate not, nor let that occasion slip
from their grasp for peaceful existence during their sojourn in this
material world and bliss there in the spiritual world after that.
