Maha Shivaratri is not just a celebration — it is said to be a cosmic gateway that opens once a year. On this sacred night, according to yogic science and Vedic astrology, the moon — symbol of the mind — reaches its point of weakest influence. This creates a natural state of inner stillness, where the flow of thoughts quiets and access to deep meditative states becomes spontaneous.
During Maha Shivaratri, vital energy naturally rises along the spine. For this reason, for thousands of years yogis and spiritual seekers have remained awake, alert, and centered, allowing the body, breath, and awareness to align with this upward movement. It is an invitation to experience Shiva Tattwa — the eternal principle of stillness, purity, and presence that lives in the heart of every being and permeates all of creation.
The program, which will take place one day in advance, is intended to make it easier to fully focus on the Divine and dive deeply within, preparing our energy for the night of Shivaratri.
Together, through individual and collective magnetism, we will go deeper, bringing the Light of Shiva — the Divine as the Great Purifier — into the darker corners of our being and freeing ourselves from anything that prevents us from living in our highest Self at every moment of life.
Do not miss this opportunity!
