Maha Shivaratri Celebration

During Amma's 2016 Shivaratri message, she said, "Shivaratri is a celebration of sacrifice, dispassion and renunciation. Shivaratri teaches us to abandon all other thoughts in contemplation of God, and to realize the ultimate purpose of human life." Join us for a special Shivaratri at MA Center Chicago with Swamini Ambikamrita Prana. The program will include a short Shivaratri talk by Swamini, a participatory abhishekam, chanting, bhajans, meditation, and chai and snack breaks. While the program will formally end at approximately12:15 am, whoever wishes to stay until 5 am is welcome to do so. Here's the planned schedule:
