On this Shivratri i.e. 20th
February 2012, SHAFA broke the myth within the addicts that using mood altering
substances can help them to attain Lord Shiva or achieve serenity. The myth
which says that some drugs are prashad of Lord Shiva.
Residents decorated their
surroundings with bright colours, they gathered to make preparations for the
evening. They presented activities based on mythological stories, sayings, prayers and myths associated to this beautiful festival. They started with Shiv Vivah, marriage of Lord Shiva with Goddess Parvati. Then they performed a skit
on how innocent Lord Shiva was, by performing “Bhasmasur”. Later, they
performed a small play which conveyed how people or fake yogi’s and sadhu’s are
misusing the name of Lord Shiva and selling drugs to the younger generation. In
the end they did Aarti and prayed for a better life, peace of mind and
serenity.
Everyone was happy to see that
today they are not into addiction. They wanted to convey the truth to others
that they cannot achieve Shiva by doing drugs or substances which slowly and
gradually poison all aspects of their life.
