Maha Shivaratri is an Indian festival celebrated annually in honour of the god Shiva. The name also refers to the night when Shiva performs the heavenly dance. On this night there is an intense upsurge of energy on the planet due to it's solar positioning. If one stays awake and keeps their spine straight for the duration of this night (6pm to 6am) it brings tremendous benefits to their system. There is a Shivaratri in every luni-solar month of the Hindu calendar, on the month's 13th night/14th day, but once a year in late winter (February/March, or Phalguna) and before the arrival of Summer, marks Maha Shivaratri which means "the Great Night of Shiva".
