शिवरात्रि का मतलब "शिव की रात" है और यह फाल्गुन मास की कृष्ण पक्ष की चतुर्दशी को मनाया जाता है। इस त्योहार का धार्मिक और सांस्कृतिक महत्व दोनों है। धार्मिक मान्यता के अनुसार, भगवान शिव ने इस रात समुद्र मंथन से निकले विष का पान करके "नीलकंठ" नाम प्राप्त किया। कुछ मान्यताओं में इसे शिव और पार्वती के विवाह की रात्रि भी माना जाता है। इस दिन भक्त लोग जागरण करते हैं, शिवलिंग पर जल, दूध, बेलपत्र और धतूरा चढ़ाते हैं और "ॐ नमः शिवाय" का जाप करते हैं। यह त्योहार अंधकार पर प्रकाश, अज्ञान पर ज्ञान और नकारात्मकता पर सकारात्मकता की विजय का प्रतीक है। शुभकामनाएँ देना इस त्योहार का एक महत्वपूर्ण हिस्सा है। पहले लोग एक-दूसरे को मौखिक या लिखित शुभकामनाएँ देते थे, अब डिजिटल युग में यह एक नया रूप ले चुका है। परंपरागत शुभकामनाएँ वैदिक मंत्रों या श्लोकों के साथ दी जाती हैं, जैसे "कर चरण कृपालु, भव सागर तारण।" लोग बेलपत्र, रुद्राक्ष या प्रसाद भी देते हैं। आधुनिक शुभकामनाएँ सोशल मीडिया पर ग्रीटिंग्स, GIFs और कोट्स के जरिए साझा की जाती हैं। लोग ई-कार्ड और भक्ति गीतों वाले वीडियो भी भेजते हैं। शुभकामनाएँ केवल औपचारिकता नहीं हैं, बल्कि ये समाज में एकता और आध्यात्मिक जागरण को बढ़ावा देती हैं। इसके साथ ही, यह त्योहार युवाओं को शिवरात्रि की कथाएँ और परंपराएँ बताने का अवसर भी प्रदान करता है। शुभकामनाएँ काव्यात्मक भाषा, रंगोली, और संगीत के माध्यम से भी दी जाती हैं। शिवरात्रि का उत्सव नेपाल, भारत, मॉरीशस और श्रीलंका में बड़े उत्साह से मनाया जाता है, और प्रवासी भारतीयों के कारण यह अमेरिका, यूरोप और ऑस्ट्रेलिया में भी फैल चुका है। निष्कर्ष में, शिवरात्रि की शुभकामनाएँ मानवता और आस्था का प्रतीक हैं, जो हमें हमारी जड़ों और संस्कृति से जुड़े रहने की याद दिलाती हैं। यह हमें अपने अंदर के अंधकार को मिटाकर प्रकाश की ओर बढ़ने की प्रेरणा देती है। शिवरात्रि की हार्दिक शुभकामनाएँ! "ॐ नमः शिवाय"।
