A Night of Awakening
Mahashivratri (FEB 26; Live webcast) is one of the most important celebrations in India and recognises a natural alignment of the Sun and Earth that creates a tremendous spiritual opportunity. Mahashivratri commemorates the divine wedding between Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati representing the union of the masculine and feminine energies, the harmonious interplay necessary for cosmic order and creation.
Sadhguru says this about this auspicious opportunity:
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.
For a more in-depth explanation of Mahashivratri and why it is such a powerful opportunity for families, entrepreneurs, and spiritual seekers, follow this link.
The live webcast includes a talk and midnight meditation by Sadhguru.
What a pleasure it was to participate at Edinburgh’s Holistic Ways Festival this past Sunday. Gail and Adrian made sure we were all settled and had everything we needed to make it a success. I was completely busy reading people’s charts from the opening at 1030 until an hour and a half after closing time. My only break came at 1230 when I gave an hour talk entitled “Freeing Yourself from the Past: How Astrology Can Help You Live the Life You Want.”
