" He destroys our illusions, desires and ignorance. He destroys
      our evil and negative nature. He destroys our old memories, so that we can
      move on with the movement of time. He destroys our relationships, attachment, 
      impurities,physical and mental wrong doings, the effects of bad
      karma, our passions and emotions and many things that stand between us and
      God as impediments to our progress and inner transformation. And in the
      end when we have made sufficient progress, when we are ready and prepared,
      and when we are willing without any inner conflict, he destroys
      death."

Lord Shiva is the God of the Gods. Pashupatinath is the oldest Hindu temple in the city of Temples,
Kathmandu. 

But, why do we think of "Shiva buti" and "Prasad" when Shivaratri comes to our mind ?
mahatwa tetti ho ta Shivaratri ko ?????
