Join Pandit Baskaran live via Zoom from his temple in India to celebrate Mahāśivarātri, the auspicious night of Śiva. Celebrating Mahāśivarātri is a way to consciously connect with that unbounded, unlimited, imperishable aspect of ourselves. We will witness Pandit performing Śiva yajña and can chant along ourselves at home.

Depending where in the world you are and what time it will be, it's traditional to stay up all night and meditate, chant mantra, and purify the mind/body. Many people fast or only drink liquids or eat fruit (depending how familiar your body is with fasting). This is a time of letting go and creating space for what's to come. Do what feels right for you! Chanting with Panditji for an hour online will be powerful. It's said that ceremony and meditation performed this evening can equate to the whole last previous year's work!

Note: the actual night of Mahāśivarātri is different for each location - we will be celebrating with the India time of this celebration. You can check what day/night it is for your location via the Drik Panchang app. Put your location in and it will bring up the calendar for the year with the date for Mahāśivarātri. For example it's the 9th night in Australia, but we will celebrate on the 8th with Panditji, and you can do it all again on the 9th if you're keen!
