 <\/p>\n

Though you may not realize it, your soul is orchestrating your spiritual awakening at all times.<\/p>\n

When you are awake, you\u2019re simply the best version of you.<\/p>\n

You feel positive at all times, have faith in yourself and trust God. Then, you easily accomplish all your goals and your connections with others become deeper and more joyful.<\/p>\n

But even more important, you enjoy your time with yourself and God.<\/p>\n

Among all the auspicious time windows for spiritual awakening practices, empowerment and communion with God is the Great Night of Shiva<\/em> or Maha Shivaratri<\/em>, on March 7<\/strong>\u2014which carries the energy for instant enlightenment and evolution.<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

When you are enlightened, you are omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent.<\/p>\n

Enlightenment\u2019s Super Powers<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Shiva is an immensely compassionate divine being, who since immemorial times has been saddened by humans\u2019 sorrows\u2014due to their enslavement to a mediocre job and income, a body that suffers from disease and aging, endless fears, bitter enemies and more.<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t need to be a Hindu to get in touch with him.<\/p>\n

Dr. Pillai Explains Shiva\u2019s Gifts to You\"1\"<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOn this very sacred night, Siva gives all human beings, and also other living beings, an opportunity to embrace him and become enlightened.<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIf you miss this night, you\u2019ll have to wait for the next Shivaratri.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis sacred night lasts about 12 hours\u2014 from about 6:00 in evening until 6:00 in the morning.<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIf you can manage to keep vigil during this time, it equals millions of years of meditation, according to scriptures.<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cYour mind should be engaged with thoughts of Shiva while you offer a bilva<\/em> leaf to a Shiva Lingam. Doing an abishekam<\/em>, by pouring milk onto the Shiva lingam, is also necessary.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m going to teach you a very secret meditation so that you\u2019ll be able to do it no matter where you are.<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI have never done this before<\/strong> and<\/strong> I\u2019m going to give you the secretive mantras for each of the four units<\/strong>, covering Shivaratri\u2019s 12-hour period of time. God bless.\u201d<\/p>\n
