Shivaratri Celebration with Br Ramanandamrita Chaitanya

Amma says that Maha Shivaratri teaches us to abandon all other thoughts in contemplation of God and to realize the ultimate purpose of human life. 

This year we are blessed to have Br. Ramanandamrita Chaitanya with us to celebrate this very sacred occasion.  We invite all of you to participate in this unique opportunity.

Saturday, February 18th
6:30 pm - 8 pm dinner
8pm - midnight Satsang
The VIP Beach Club (next door to the Ashram)
600 Davenport Avenue
New Rochelle, NY 10805

The Satsang will include a brief meditation, Shiva Linga Abhisheka (holy bathing), Shiva chants and bhajans (devotional singing), talk/discussion, and prayers for world peace. It will be preceded by dinner, and snacks and chai will be served throughout the evening.

Maha Shivaratri or the “Night of Shiva” is one of the most revered and celebrated spiritual nights in Sanatana Dharma for all spiritual aspirants. On the occasion of Maha Shivaratri, devotees observe a day long fast and worship Lord Shiva with great ardor as it is believed that whoever worships Lord Shiva on this day attains salvation, and that by fasting on this one day, one can reap the benefits of a whole year’s worth of rigorous prayer.
