Shiva Ratri, a yogic celebration
Shiva means consciousness and Ratri means the night. Shiva is the knowledge and the night is the ignorance. Shiva is the male principle and the Ratri is the female principle. Shiva is the sun and the night is the moon. Thus the word “Shiva Ratri” signifies the two existences or truths, Purusha and prakriti. In Vedanta prakriti is called as maya. Maya is also real until one establishes himself with the Brahman, the supreme consciousness. The real celebration is that establishment. It is a journey towards the light. Because Shiva is worshipped in the form of light as “Jyotir lingam”.

"When people talk about yoga science, they often think it has something
to do with the physical body only. Yoga is a science that deals
with the body, breath, mind, soul—and ultimately the universe itself. It is
both practical and theoretical."
