Why Lord Shiva called Neelkanth.

*Shivaratri, traditionally, is supposed to be the day when 'Samudra Manthan' was done and the poison came out.*

_You know that story of the churning of the_ *Ocean ↭ the Manthan ↭* _and when the_ *churning took place,* _first a very powerful_ *poison called 'Haala Hala Visha'* _is supposed to have come out and it would have enveloped the world but for the fact that_ *Shiva was supposed to have drunk it up.*

_It stopped in his throat so it became blue,_ *so He is called Neelkanth.*

_This is a fact which is applicable to all yogis, not only to Shiva._

*When you churn your mind in meditation, which means, when you delve deeper and deeper into the layers of your mind,* _the first thing that comes out is not_ *Amrit.* _The first thing that comes out is_ *Poison,* _because, that's the only way it can come out and disappear, which is why, many people who start the practice of sadhana,_ *after a while, give up sadhana and take on to other things because that poison has come out. .⇅*
