Magic of no 3

On Mahashiva Ratri:

Numeric 3 is very auspicious in Hindu Mythology. Most importantly 3 represents the 3 lords; the creator Bramha, the maintainer Vishnu and the destroyer Shiva. 

As per the tradition, on the ocassion of Mahashiva Ratri, the Priest would take the grand oil lamp to go around the Shiva Linga 3 times and then climb the temple top to encircle 3 times the TRISULA( 3 head weapon held by lord Shiva).

On comencement of this tradition, the devotees fasting all day would break their fast. So now its time I eat after the all day strict fasting of no food no water Hihaaaha
