MAHASHIVARATRI

Mahashivratri, “The Great Night of Shiva” is the most significant event in India’s spiritual calendar.

The fourteenth day of every lunar month or the day before the new moon is known as Shivratri. Among all the twelve Shivratris that occur in a calendar year, Mahashivratri, the one that occurs in February-March is of the most spiritual significance. On this night, the northern hemisphere of the planet is positioned in such a way that there is a natural upsurge of energy in a human being. This is a day when nature is pushing one towards one’s spiritual peak. It is to make use of this, that in this tradition, we established a certain festival which is nightlong. To allow this natural upsurge of energies to find their way,one of the fundamentals of this nightlong festival is to ensure that you remain awake with your spine vertical throughout the night.

Shivaratri is open to people of all faiths and backgrounds, especially yoga practitioners wanting to go deeper in their practices.

Lord Shiva is often referred to as the Adi Yogi, or the first yogi. He is considered the embodiment of yoga and the source of all knowledge and wisdom related to the practice. He is often depicted as a yogi, sitting in meditation in the Himalayas, and is considered the patron deity of yoga and meditation.

The celebration of Shivaratri, a festival dedicated to Lord Shiva, is an important occasion to honor and seek blessings from the Adi Yogi to help one go deeper in their own yoga practices.

This importance of Mahashivaratri :

⚕️Mahashivratri is very significant for people who are on the spiritual path.

⚕️Meditating on Shivaratri brings the practitioner closer to embodying the Divine qualities of Shiva, including non attachment, serene calmness, indifference to the ups and downs of life and helps them attain spiritual enlightenment.

⚕️On this night, one can purify their minds and souls and attain the blessings of Shiva.

⚕️Meditation on Lord Shiva during Shivaratri is also believed to have numerous physical and mental health benefits, such as reducing stress and anxiety, improving focus and concentration, and promoting overall well-being.
