About Mahasivratri and a powerful Siddhar mantra for Lord Siva:
For a yogi, the most intense period, through the entire year, is Mahasivratri. Based on the lunar calendar, Mahasivratri happens once a year, as the most auspicious day to be observed. For thousands of years, householders and yogis have observed this sacred period as it holds a very important vortex of time for enlightenment, grace and blessings.
Yogis who meditate day & night, months together, come out to bless humanity as Lord Siva awake as in human.
Siddhar Sage Patanjali would meditate through the year and each Mahasivratri, would come out to reveal a new yoga sutra.
Who ever observes and meditates during this period receives the amazing grace of transformation and blessing as this special moment enables union with Source in an instant and is also blessed by the collective Presence of all higher conscious beings.
Starting the observation with this full moon of Jan 30, we dissolve ourselves like the waning moon into the new moon, to be Spirit, Lord Siva. Mahasivratri holds the objective of all yoga- to be One with Source; to experience the fourth state of consciousness that is beyond ordinary states- the state of turiya; and to be the higher conscious enlightened energies direct with Source as Prophet.
- In our inner journey of meditation; "fasting"- fruits, nuts and juice diet intake that is gradually reduced; and puja we transform be Lord Siva. These are moments for detox and cleansing of mind and body.
- Jump into your personal Mother Ganga each morning! By slipping into a cold water bath each morning, we are dissolving our primal bond to the body and thus are born again. If getting into the cold water shower in the morning is difficult- do yoga and through yoga dissolve into lord siva of five elements and the body becomes easier to surrender into the cold water.
- It is normal for humanity to experience turbulence and upheavals just before Mahasivrathri and then after Mahasivrathri, the calm and inspired realities that unfold. The mind is readily plunges within when ever there
is hardship in our external realities. After Mahasivrathri is observed and complete, it is normal to witness a huge blessing or blessings in our external reality.
- Light a lamp at least once a day and meditate, chant and pray. If this is not possible, still the mind and visualize the lamp within and experience Source as the joys within the stillness of a mind without thoughts. The stillness of mind is Lord Siva, the experience of being the Self, the soul.
- Pilgrimages to sacred places during this period helps the inner journey. Being aware of each thought and setting the mind alight through mantra chanting creates the inner lamp of awareness that gradually shines 24/7.
- Do dharma. The effective form of dharma is to feed the hungry while we are fasting and in satisfying other hunger, we are divinely fed with the subtle energy of Source. Dharma done during this sacred period magnifies. Dharma done in random kindness going beyond our own suffering and discomfort enables the realization of Oneness, the essence of Source.
- Climb within each day and go further beyond the mind into the vibrant light within! Lift our consciousness from the muladhara chakra (root chakra) above to the Guru chakra (above the navel). We transcend the body consciousness of heat and cold, hunger etc through the shift in our consciousness.
- Climb above to the third eye and watch the vibrant light of the mantra dance. In bringing this light in the third eye to stillness, the mind transcends to the mindless realm of joy that Sages call, the sleepless sleep, turiya.
- On the day/night of Mahasivrathri, be the pillar of light, Lord Siva.
May humanity arise in the awake consciousness of wisdom that enables each of us to be the prophets and masters of higher consciousness! May each of us be instruments of Source and in our breath, the ascendance of collective consciousness.
We are the messengers of peace, love and Oneness of Source!
