Maha Shivaratri 2025: The Night of Cosmic Awakening

The ‘Great Night of Shiva’: Maha Shivaratri this year occurs on February 26, 2025. The Moon phase in February marks the arrival of this festival. You have a great chance to align with the cosmic powers on this auspicious occasion. During this time, people stay awake the whole night for quiet reflection. Devotees fast and meditate, remaining awake until dawn and breaking the fast in the morning after bathing. This festival embraces darkness and helps in understanding our everyday existence deeply.

This is the time when the night becomes powerful and has a significantly strong energy before dawn. Nature supports our journey and deepens our meditation, making a path towards cosmic awakening. While performing these energy practices, maintaining a straight spinal posture throughout the night helps in tapping into the powerful energy more effectively.

Practices and Rituals to Follow(MahaShivaratri)

• Fasting: Devotees fast to cleanse and detoxify the body while absorbing the spiritual energy of this precious time. Light meals like fruits, nuts, and milk are preferable in the fast so that you feel light and your mind is focused and aware.
• Shiva Linga Abhishek: Devotees bathe the Shiva Linga with milk, ghee, curd, sugar, honey, and water. They also offer Bel leaves, flowers, and bael fruit.
• Chanting and Meditation: Reciting mantras like OM NAMAH SHIVAYA can be really powerful, clear the mind, and help feel the cosmic vibrations.
• All-night Vigil: People stay awake all night, engaging in Kirtans and bhajans, either at the Shiv Mandir or at home in large groups.
• Temple Visits: Visiting Shiv temples.
• Rudraksha Beads: Wearing the Rudraksha mala is good as these beads help balance the mind and channel positive energy.
