What is Sankalpa?:

For the Mahashivratri, you may take Sankalpas for yourself and family members. Sankalpa is a way to be directly included in the special ceremony. Once you take a Sankalpa your name gets included in the chants and offerings. Its a very special blessing to take a Sankalpa and get included in the ceremony. Sankalpas help to purify our being and help remove many subtle obstacles in our spiritual growth. Do not miss this opportunity for yourself and your family.

TAX RECEIPTS WILL BE ISSUED FOR SANKALPA AND DONATIONS!

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 Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
