When is Maha Shivaratri 2012 -- Well the Date for Maha Sivaratri 2012 is Monday 20th February.
Maha Shivaratri(महा शिवरात्रि) is also known as the "Night of Shiva". It is celebrated in praise of Lord Shiva. It occurs on the 14 night of the moonless day of the new moon in the month of Phalgun, which happens to be sometime in February -- March according to the English calendar.
Legends of Mahashivaratri
It is considered to be the auspicious occasion when Lord Shiva and Parvati got married. Some believe that Lord Shiva performed the tandava on this night. This is the dance of preservation, primal creation and destruction. Another legend is based on Linga Puranan, which states that Lord Shiva manifested himself in the form of linga. Hence, this is considered to be an auspicious day and is celebrated as Mahashivaratri.
Celebration of Mahashivarathri
The celebration takes place all throughout the night. The bells of the temple ring loudly and "Om Namaha Shiva" is read loudly. Hymns and devotional songs in praise of Lord Shiva are sung. The devotees perform Jagaran, staying awake the whole night. They fast the whole day and break the fast only in the morning hours. Shiva temples are thronged by people and it is difficult to get a glimpse of the Lord Shiva.
According to one of the most popular legends, Shivaratri is the wedding day of Lord Shiva and Parvati. It is also believed that Lord Shiva performed 'Tandava', the dance of the primal creation, preservation and destruction on this auspicious night of Shivaratri. According to another popular legend, described in Linga Purana, it was on Shivaratri that Lord Shiva manifested himself in the form of a Linga for the first time. Since then, the day is considered to be extremely auspicious by the devotees of Shiva and they celebrate it as Maha Shivaratri - the grand night of Shiva.
Shiva devotees observe strict fast on Maha Shivaratri, with many people having only fruits and milk and some not even consuming a drop of water. Worshippers dutifully follow all the traditions and customs related to Shivaratri festival, as they strongly believe that sincere worship of Lord Shiva, on the auspicious day, releases a person of his sins and also liberates him from the cycle of birth and death. As Shiva is regarded as the ideal husband, unmarried women pray for a husband like Him, on Shivaratri. On the other hand, married women pray for the well being of their husbands, on this auspicious day.
On Maha Shivratri, devotees wake up early in the morning and take a bath, if possible in river Ganga. After wearing fresh clothes, they visit the nearest Shiva temple, to give ritual bath to the Shiva Lingum (with milk, honey, water etc). The worship continues the whole day and whole night. Jaagran (nightlong vigil) might also be observed in Lord Shiva temples, where a large number of devotees sing hymns and devotional songs, in praise of Lord Shiva. In the morning,g devotees break their fast by partaking the prasad offered to Lord Shiva, after the aarti, the night before.
Maha Shivaratri Date 2012 - 20 February.

Jai Shiva Shankar,
So what is the Shiva Mahimna Strotam? Well its written by Pushpadant and it describes the greatness of Lord Shiva.
How did it come about? Pushpadanta was a Gandharva. Minstrel in the court of Lord Indradev. Pushpadanta was a devotee of Lord Shiva as well as a lover of flowers. He used to steal delicate and fragrant flowers from the garden of the great Shaiva King of Kashi, Chitraratha. As a result, King Chitraratha was not able to offer flowers to the great Lord Shiva himself and the puja of the great devotee King was hampered. King Chitrarath tried to find the thief but was not successful because as a Gandharva Pushpadanta was invisible by his magical powers. One day to catch the thief, the King spread sacred Bilwa leaves (nirmalya), which are extremely dear to Shiva, in his garden. Pushpadanta while stealing the flowers in the garden trod on the Bilwa leaves and invited Lord Shivas wrath. Cursed by the Lord to eternal ignominy, Gandarva Pushpadanta lost all his divine powers. Pushpadanta forgot the mantra for becoming invisible and not only that but he forgot all other knowledge he had at that time when he was on those Bilwa leaves.
In order to seek absolution and please Lord Shiva, Pushpadanta created a stotram (song of praise) in which he elaborated at length upon Shiva's greatness. The penitent Gandharva, who himself was a great devotee of the great Lord, composed a great prayer in chaste and lyrical Sanskrit and offered that to the Lord. Propitiated and pleased with the melodious and rhythmic composition, the Lord Shiva, Ashutosh by another name, forgave the repentant Gandharva Pushpadanta and restored his powers and well-being.

The 29 October 2005 Delhi bombings occurred on 29 October 2005 in Delhi, India, killing 62 people and injuring at least 210 others in three explosions. The bombings came only two days before the important festival of Diwali, which is celebrated by Hindus, Sikhs, and Jains. The bombs were triggered in two markets in central and south Delhi and in a bus in the Govindpuri area in the south of the city. Indian investigators believe the Kashmir separatist/ Islamic terrorist group Lashkar-e-Taiba was behind the attacks.

Indira Gandhi, then Prime Minister of India, was assassinated on 31 October 1984. [1] She was killed by two of her Sikh bodyguards, Satwant Singh and Beant Singh, to avenge the military attack on the Harmandir Sahib shrine, also called "The Golden Temple") during Operation Blue Star.
http://en.wikiped...
In 1982, Bhindranwale and approximately 200 armed followers moved into a guest-house called the Guru Nanak Niwas, in the precinct of the Golden Temple.[23] From here he met and was interviewed by international television crews.[23]
On 23 April 1983, the Punjab Police Deputy Inspector General ("DIG") A. S. Atwal was shot dead as he left the Golden Temple compound. The following day, after the murder, Harchand Singh Longowal (then president of Shiromani Akali Dal) hinted at the involvement of the Chief minister of the Punjab, Darbara Singh, in the murder.
On 15 December 1983, Bhindranwale was forced to move out of Guru Nanak Niwa's house by members of the Babbar Khalsa who acted with Harcharan Singh Longowal's support Longowal by now feared for his own safety. By 1983, the Golden Temple became a shelter for a large number of militants.
The Golden Temple compound and some of the surrounding houses were fortified. The Statesman reported on 4 July that light machine-guns and semi-automatic rifles were known to have been brought into the compound. On 1 February 1984, Harcharan Singh Longowal claimed that Bhindranwale had suggested to him that motorcycles and arms should be purchased on a mass scale for killing members of a "particular community".[26] Bhindranwale angrily responded to the allegation, saying "nothing is more farther in my mind than this".[27]
Faced with imminent army action and with the foremost Sikh political organisation, Shiromani Akali Dal (headed by Harchand Singh Longowal), abandoning him, Bhindranwale declared "This bird is alone. There are many hunters after it".[27]
Time magazine reported (about Amritsar) that:[28]
"These days it more closely resembles a city of death. Inside the temple compound, fierce Sikh warriors wield submachine guns, guarding against encroachment by government security forces. Outside, the security men keep a nervous vigil, all too aware that the bodies of murdered comrades often turn up in the warren of tiny streets around the shrine."

My Talk Pages on Nehruji's Religion removed !
http://en.wikiped... Profession Barrister Religion Agnostic atheism[1][2][3] Nehruji's religion was Kashmir Shaivism. http://en.wikiped... http://en.wikiped...
Quote :- Nehru and his supporters insisted that the Hindu community, which comprised 80% of the Indian population, first needed to be united before any actions were taken to unify the rest of India. Therefore, the codification of Hindu personal law became a symbolic beginning on the road to establishing the Indian national identity.[2] Nehru also felt that because he was Hindu, it was his prerogative to codify specifically Hindu law, as opposed to Muslim or Jewish law.[13] Those in Parliament who supported the Bills also saw them as a vital move towards the modernization of Hindu society, as they would clearly delineate secular laws from religious law. Many also heralded the Bill's opportunity to implement greater rights for women, establishing that such rights were necessary for India's development."
