Mahashivaratri - Celebration


Mahashivratri is the day when the Shiva Tattva touches the earth. The consciousness, the aura or the ethereal world which is always ten inches above the material ground, touches the earth element on the day of Mahashivratri. It is the wedding of the material with the spiritual. Shivratri is taking refuge in the divine consciousness which brings peace and solace to all layers of consciousness. So resting in the Shiva Tattva is Shivratri.

Ratri means 'to take refuge'. Shivratri is taking refuge in Shiva, in the soul. It is celebrating the Shiva Tatva within oneself. Every Mahashivratri is meant to wake up every particle of your body. The festival is a wake-up call to move away from conflicts and move towards truth, beauty, peace, and benevolence – the ethereal qualities of Shiva - Gurudev

We will be hosting a special Maha Rudra Homa, on Saturday, March 6, at 4 pm EST.  You may also take Sankalpa for yourself and/or your family.
