We will stay awake throughout the night praising Lord Shiva with Bhajans\, 4 Aarti’s\, Dancing\, Meditating & Chanting.\nCustomarily\, we wear white traditional clothing since this is the colour which pleases Lord Shiva 🤍 \n\n\nAWAKENING BHAKTI\n\n\nShiva is pure consciousness. He is the Supreme Lord’s greatest bhakta as he is always meditating upon Narayana. Known as the Lord of Destruction\, he stands for the dissolution of the mind\, which is exactly what we need in order for pure Love to awaken inside the heart. Through his Grace\, Shiva destroys our pride and ego so that bhakti can grow in our hearts and we can rise to attain the Lotus Feet of Lord Narayana. \n\n\n\n\n\nShivaratri is when you forget about your mind and let your mind dwell only on the Divine. That’s what Shivaratri is – it is uplifting you and really awakening what is deep inside of you. – Paramahamsa Vishwananda \n\n\nDID YOU KNOW\nShivaratri is a time to sincerely pray to Lord Shiva to ask him to install himself in our hearts. As we bathe him in the form of a lingam\, he is cleaning our inner impurities and awakening the devotion within us\, so that we can realise him in our hearts and see him everywhere. \nBECOME A SPONSOR\nCost to cover the pujas – £36 per person \nYou can sponsor the puja’s this Shivaratri at Srinivasa (even if you are unable to attend).
