We look forward to celebrate the Maha Shivaratri, the great Night of Shiva, in our Fire Temple on the 18 February.
Each year we consecrate this auspicious night by holding a sacred all night ceremony in the Fire Temple. It is traditional in India to spend all this night in wakefulness, in meditation.
From Hindu legends, Maha Shivaratri signifies a few different occasions, namely;
When Shiva performed the dance of primordial creation, preservation and destruction, the Tandava Nritya thus saving the world from destruction.
It is the celebration of the union between Shiva and Parvati
It is the day that Shiva became one with Mount Kailash
We bring the Queen of the Forest to the Temple of Shiva to unite in a Sacred Sound of Light offering of prayer, chanting and celebration, to honor Creation and celebrate Existence.
And we use the opportunity to deeply pray and call in for more harmony to exist in humanity.
Wherever you are in the world, you can sit in meditation, in inner silence and connect with the subtle, yet profound cosmic energies that this night offers.
Be in prayer and in communion with the Omnipresent.
Om Namah Shivaya !
