Isha all set to host grand Mahashivratri celebrations on Feb. 18

The nightlong festival will begin at 6 pm on Feb 18 and culminate at 6 am the following morning, in the presence of Sadhguru.


Coimbatore: Isha Yoga Center is all set to host the grand Mahashivratri celebrations on February 18, this year. The nightlong festival will begin at 6 pm on Feb 18 and culminate at 6 am the following morning, in the presence of Sadhguru.



Mahashivratri is one of the most significant festivals in India, celebrating the grace of Shiva, the Adi Guru from whom the Yogic tradition originates. It is reported to be enormously beneficial for one’s physical and spiritual well-being to stay awake and aware, keeping the spine vertical throughout the night.



Explaining the importance of Mahashivratri, Sadhguru opines, “Mahashivratri – not of Religion or Beliefs, not of Race or Nation; a night in which planetary positions cause a natural energy upsurge in the human system. A cosmic phenomenon with a universal impact. Experience this consciously.”



Starting with the Pancha Bhuta Aradhana at Dhyanalinga, Isha's Mahashivratri celebrations begin with Linga Bhairavi Maha Yatra and moves to Sadhguru discourse, midnight meditations, and spectacular Adiyogi Divya Darshanam, a 3D video imaging show. To keep the participants awake and dancing during Mahashivratri, renowned artists from different parts of the country like Rajasthani folk singer Mame Khan, award- winning Sitar maestro Niladri Kumar, Tollywood singer Ram Miriyala and Tamil playback singer Velmurugan have been roped in.



The event will be telecast live on Isha's official YouTube channel, Sadhguru Tamil. Also, it will be telecast live on leading TV channels and YouTube channels in various state languages like Tamil, Hindi, English, Telugu, Kannada, and Marathi. The event in 2022 was telecast and live-streamed in 22 languages across 192 countries amassing 140 million views, even beating the Oscars event.
