Maha Shivaratri 2025

February 26 from 10:00 AM to about 2:00 AM February 27 (with a few breaks in the schedule)

Maha Shivaratri is a celebration of Lord Shiva, the very source of cosmic energy for the entire creation. One of the fundamentals of this festival is to perform spiritual practices and honor Lord Shiva throughout the entire night. The northern hemisphere of the planet is positioned in such a way that there is a natural upsurge of energy and nature is pushing us towards our spiritual peak. Offerings of fruits, flowers, and milk are welcome and appreciated.
