Coimbatore : To mark the 25th year of Mahashivratri celebrations at Isha, the President of India, Ram Nath Kovind will be the chief guest at the celebrations in the Isha Yoga Center in Coimbatore.
The largest Mahashivratri event in the world will be celebrated at Isha on 4th March this year. The President will visit the Dhyanalinga, the Linga Bhairavi Devi as well as the Suryakund, an energized water body that can enhance one's receptivity, before proceeding to Adiyogi where the Mahashivratri event will unfold.
The President will participate in the Pancha Bhuta Aradhana at the Dhyanalinga, a ritual to cleanse the five elements (earth, fire, water, wind and the limitless space) for establishing the well-being of the body and the mind, to shape the body into becoming a stepping stone for one's ultimate well-being. The President of India will also join Sadhguru, Founder, Isha Foundation to pay tributes to the CRPF martyrs at Pulwama by planting saplings at the Isha Yoga Center.
Isha is celebrating the 25th year of Mahashivratri in the presence of Adiyogi, unveiled during the 2017 Mahashivratri celebrations by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The 25th year event is expected to be bigger and grander than before, with several well-known artists performing through the night.
Musical performances by Amit Trivedi, Hariharan, Karthik and other popular artists including drummers from Azerbaijan, classical dance performances, folk art and culture, and meditation sessions are part of the night-long festivities planned at the Isha Yoga Center. Sounds of Isha, the in-house Isha music group will also perform at the event.
The highlight of the event is supposed to be the powerful midnight meditation session with Sadhguru.. Annadanam or an offering of food to all those who participate at Isha is another major highlight of Mahashivratri at the Yoga Center.
Millions of people from around the world are expected to participate in this year’s Mahashivratri either in person or virtually, through live streams. Over 100 television and web channels including English and regional language channels will relay the event live from 6 pm on March 4 to 6 am on Mach 5.
On the significance of Mahashivratri, Sadhguru said, "When we say Shivratri, which is the darkest night of the month, it is an opportunity for one to dissolve their limit, to experience the unbounded nature of the source of creation, which is the seed in every human being. Mahashivratri is an opportunity and a possibility to bring yourself to that experience of the boundlessness within every human being, which is the source of all creation.
In the yogic culture, Shiva is not known as a God, but as the Adiyogi or the first yogi – the originator of yoga. Adiyogi brought this possibility that a human being need not be contained in the defined limitations of our species. He said, "You can evolve beyond your present limitations if you do the necessary work upon yourself." That is the significance of the Adiyogi," added Sadhguru.
