Dearest Atma,
You are cordially invited to join us for a sacred celebration of Maha Shivaratri at Shaktidhaam Ashram. This auspicious night is an opportunity to immerse in devotion and spiritual practice, invoking the divine presence of Lord Shiva. Jagadguru Sathya Sai Maa invites us to remain awake all night and immerse ourselves in a night of Sadhana, fasting, and stillness with a straight spine as we attune to the cosmic energies of Maha Shivaratri & the Kumbh Mela.
4:00 – 5:15 PM
Witness the Brahmachari initiation of Anna Florey, a disciple of Jagadguru Sai Maa.
6:00 – 8:30 PM
11 Vedic Pundits will perform a Shiva Abhishek, invoking Shiva’s presence by offering milk, water, honey, ghee, and bilva leaves to the Shiva Lingam.
9:00 PM – 6:50 AM
Guided by Seven Mahamandaleshwars, we will engage in all-night sadhana, including chanting AUM Namah Shivaya —loud, whispered, mental, and visualized, sitting in silence and chanting Shiva chants —aligning with the cosmic energy of Maha Shivaratri and Kumbh Mela.
We invite you to join us for this transformative night of meditation, mantra, and divine blessings.
