Maha Shivaratri Satsang w/Br. Shantamrita Chaitanya

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." Hold the date for Maha Shivaratri at MA Center Chicago, which is always observed with tremendous reverence and devotion.
