In the silence between chants, Shiva listens closest.

Some nights are for sleeping. This one is for waking up.

ॐ नमः शिवाय के जाप से मन की हर गांठ खुल जाती है।

May the coolness of the bel leaf settle every restless thought in your mind.

The story goes that this is the night Shiva and Parvati wed — may your bonds be as eternal.
