The Mahashivratri celebration at the Isha Yoga Center is a spectacle to behold, featuring explosive meditation sessions, enlightening discourses by Sadhguru, the founder of Isha Foundation, and mesmerising musical and dance performances by renowned artists such as Shankar Mahadevan, Gurdas Maan, Brodha V, Paradox, and many others. Isha’s homegrown band, “Sounds of Isha,” will also perform alongside various other artists from all across India.

“The significance of the day is that there is an upward movement of energy in the human body. So this night, we want to spend awake, aware, with our spines erect so that whatever Sadhana we are doing, there is great assistance from nature,” explains Sadhguru, about the importance of staying awake all night on Mahashivrartri. Viewers who attend the screening will not only have the privilege of witnessing this sacred event in the company of fellow devotees but will also receive a specially energised Rudraksha by Sadhguru, which is believed to have various spiritual and health benefits.
