Midnight Meditation

What started as a few days’ media assignment at Isha Yoga Center in Coimbatore in the lap of Adiyogi, turned out to be a blissful and ecstatic experience of my life.

- Pooja Sharma

Having been there and done it all and gone through all the pleasures and sins of this life, this place had to offer me my most intense experience.

I can share my experience at two levels – outside myself which includes lakhs of people who came here to attend the annual Maha Shivaratri celebrations from almost every part of the world and the one that I experienced within me which is more profound and magical.

Mahashivratri celebrations happen every year as it is not only the night when Shiva got married to Parvati as per the ancient Indian tales, but it is also the night of immense possibilities, as per Sadhguru. It is believed that Shiva or Adiyogi comes down to Earth and with specific ‘sadhanas’ which one can begin from as early as 40 days prior and by being awake that night with their spine erect, one can reach the peak of his or her spiritual awakening.
