Mahashivratri Fast Schedule – A Three-Day Spiritual Journey

• 25th February 2025 – Prepare for the Fast

• Avoid any solid food after this meal to prepare your body.

26th February – Mahashivratri Vrat & Worship

1. Begin Your Day with Abhishekam & Sankalp

• Wake up early and perform Abhishekam (ritual bathing of Shivling).
• Take a sankalp (sacred vow) to dedicate the day to fasting and spiritual connect that helps you become a perfect instrument of Shiva's energy.

2. Fasting Throughout the Day

• Consume only fruits, nuts, or a liquid diet if hunger arises.
• In the evening, have a light, alkaline vegetable soup, then avoid food after that.
• It is advised to strictly avoid coffee and tea as these can disrupt the fast's purifying process.

27th February – Completing the Fast with Gratitude

• Visit a Shiva temple or pray to the Shivling at home, offering gratitude and devotion.
• Engage in acts of charity—donate food, water, or feed animals to honor the spirit of giving.
• Breaking the Fast: Conclude your fast with a light Sattvic meal, such as fruits, milk, or simple khichdi.
