After that Daksha Sati's father arranged  a Yajna and he did not invited  either Sati or Siva.But still sati went to attend the Yajna , Daksha didn't pay any attention to her, Sati feel severely humiliated and sacrifice herself by jumping into the  Yajna fire.The enraged shiva performed Rudra tandava or Dance  and destroyed Daksha's kingdom.The whole universe was horrified since Rudra tandava has the power to destroy whole universe.Mahavishnu sliced Sati's body into twelve parts and scattered it on earth.where ever it fell there surfaced sakthi peeth.After that Lord Shiva took severe penance and was living detached life at Himalaya.Sati reborn as God Himalya's daughter and she observed penance to get his consort back.As advised by Kamadeva Parvathy performed dance to break Shiva's meditation, at the same time Kamadeva shot his arrow of desire at shiva.Mahadeva got furious ,opened his third eye and burned kamadeva into ashes.Parvathy continued her penance and at last Shiva changed his mind.Shiva agreed to marry parvathy and soon they got married.That  was fourteenth day in magha month  and  their marriage  anniversary is celebrated as Mahashivratri.

Another legend goes to Samudra Manthan explained in Purana's.Deva's and Asura's jointly decided to churn the Milk ocean in order to obtain the Nectar.During the churning a disastrous poison called  Haala-hala emerged , since the poison could destroy whole universe Deva's ran to Mahadeva for help.Lord Shiva drank the poison to save the universe.Parvathi hold his neck to prevent it from reaching the stomach  and as a result poison remained in the throat. Due to the toxic effect Lord Shiva's throat became blue colored giving him the name Neelakanda.God's observed a night vigil in respect to Mahadeva and this day is celebrated as Mahashivratri.

The legend of Hunter goes like this.A hunter went to forest to obtain wood and food.During his return he lost his way and caught in the middle of the deadly forest.Some animal chased him and  it was getting dark.So  he climbed on a Bael  tree in order to spend his night.He decided to stay awake to prevent him from falling.He plucked and dropped the leaves.The leaves fell on the Shiva Linga located under the bael tree, although hunter was not aware of it.Lord Shiva pleased with his worship and that day is celebrated as Mahashivratri.

LUNAR ECLIPSE JANUARY 31ST 2018 ASTROVIEWPOINT.COM

LUNAR ECLIPSE ON 31ST JANUARY 2018

what is Lunar Eclipse

Lunar eclipse occurs when Sun,Earth and Moon are in line with each other perfectly. Earth occupies the middle in this position earth blocks the sun rays and the shadow covers the Moon.hence Earth shadow blocks  the Sun light which would have reflects off the Moon.

How Eclipse  happens in Full Moon and rarely too.

The Moon takes 27.3 days to complete its orbit around Earth.When Moon  orbits around Earth  it illuminated by Sun and this aillumination varies depending on Sun's angle.At New Moon Moon is placed between Earth and Sun , so the Moon shows the side that doesn't reflects any Sun light and thus it  looks dark.A few days after as Moon progresses around earth it gradually began to  reflect  the Sun light and this face is called Waxing Moon.A week later Moon gets 90° away from the Sun and shows half illuminated from our earth's view .This phase is called first quarter.As days progresses the illuminated part  also gets wider and this phase is called waxing gibbous Moon .when Moon has progressed 180° then Sun,Earth and Moon are inline together and Moon's disc is in a perfectly close  position for being illuminated by Sunlight.So this is called Full Moon .Again Moon moves and when it reaches a position in which it appears to be illuminating more than half of its disc ,but in contrary to waxing phase it is  decreasing in amount.hence it is called Waning Gibbous phase .Some Days later when Moon completes another quarter of its orbit ,Now almost half of Moon's disc is illuminated by Sunlight.This is the Third quarter phase.when Moon moves again in its path it reaches the Waning- crescent phase in which less than half of it's face appears  shining  and it is decreasing too.Finally Moon moves back to its starting phase New moon position.As both these planet's orbit around the Sun is different and they rarely get  aligned perfectly.The Moon travels  above or below the Sun from our view ,but when occasionally it moves  right in front of the Sun and thus the Eclipse occurs.

Lunar Eclipse  does not occur every full moon because Moon's orbit is inclined to Earth's orbit by about 5 degrees.Moon converges Earth's orbit twice a month and the this points are known nodes.When Moon moves from south to north in its orbit it is ascending node and descending node if Moon moves from north to south.When Full Moon comes considerably close to one of these  nodes then Lunar Eclipse Happens.

Earth directs tow kinds of shadows upon Moon during the Lunar eclipse .Umbra the complete dark shadow and Penumbra is the partial outer shadow.

The eclipse can be divided in to many stages depending upon the contact points.

• First stage: This is the beginning stage, Penumbral Part of Earth's shadow touches Moon's outer limb.
• Second stage: Beginning of the partial eclipse,Earth's Umbra touches Moons outer limb.
• Third stage:Beginning of total eclipse,Moon is completely covered by Earth's umbra.
• Forth stage: peak stage of the eclipse ,Moon is as close as possible to Earth's center of umbra.
• Fifth stage: End of total eclipse.The Moon's outer limb moves out of umbra.
• Sixth stage:End of partial eclipse.Earth's umbra leaves Moon's surface.
• Seventh stage: This is the end of penumbral eclipse.The Earth's shadow is completely out of Moon's surface.
