The Great Night of Shiva is your opportunity to call upon Lord Shiva during his once-a-year descent to the earth plane, to seek his blessings for prosperity, fulfillment of wishes, and the removal of your negative karma, disease, and debt.
It is believed that Lord Shiva’s blessings during the Great Night of Shiva can be multiplied exponentially with your participation in a 32-Priest Grand Chanting of 1331 Maha Rudrams and 121 Chamakams during 4 special powertimes, along with 4 special hydration services.
“The importance of Shivarati is it’s the night that everyone has the potential to become enlightened.
The Moon is very closely associated with the Mind Principle. Every phase of the Moon brings specific energies to the world, which affect the psycho and physical systems, particularly, the mind. We all know that during the full moon, people get excited, especially people in mental institutions. They are imbalanced during that time due to the brains response to the full moon.
Siddhi Masters knew there was immense power in every phase of the moon. During this time, you have a great opportunity to come into contact with higher states of consciousness. During the Night of Shiva, called Shivaratri, which comes once a year, you can become awakened. You can skip meditating all throughout the year, but not on that night. Do the practices. That one night of the year is sufficient for you to gain a lot of spiritual power.
During the new moon, the Mind Principle is minimized. The mind comes out of the soul consciousness, which is intact-omniscient. The mind is not omniscient, it is a lenient principle that fluctuates, causing many problems. If the mind disappears then you get into the higher states of consciousness. That condition is not available on a daily basis.
The new moon of Shivaratri is THE most important time to take advantage of this special energy. With the use of sound technology at certain parts of the brain, you will get into a very deep state and eventually transcend and experience enlightenment.
That is the experience of Shivaratri.“
