what kind of Festival would you like first of all mahashivaratri is of both spiritual and scientific significance most people don't get it till you bury them those who are psychologically Disturbed become far more Disturbed s you speak so logically and it makes sense to me um but at the same time we celebrating the religious Festival of mahashivratri in the grand way at the ISA Yoga Center um for a young person like me these religious Festival seem um like outdated rituals so I want to know what is the relevance of mahash ratri to the youth thank you what kind of Festival would you like first of all maybe only the Valentine's Day or something that is also religious it's St Valentine all right so what is mahashivratri mahashivaratri is of both spiritual and scientific significance shivaratri means the 14th day of every month that is one day before Amasia or the no moon day there are 12 to 13 shivaratri in a year of all the shivaratri the shivaratri that appears in the month of Maga during February March is known as the mahash shivaratri or the great night of Shiva in the northern hemisphere on this planet on that day there is a natural upsurge of energy within the human system every life form experiences a certain upsurge of energies within themselves this upsurge of energies can be truly made use of only by those creatures who have their spine erect our Fortune of being human is we are the only species here who have graduated to that level of an Eric spine almost every Indian festival is connected to the calendar what's happening in the solar system we want to do something which is conducive for what's happening that day in the rest of the solar system why this is important is because what you call as my body right now what is human mechanism is has come out of this planet most people don't get it till you bury them they think they came from somewhere no this body is solar system is working like a Potter wheel to generate this so everything that happens to the solar system happens to you in some way so there is a very keen observation of what is happening in the solar system today accordingly we have crafted one kind of Celebration and we do those specific things so and mahashivaratri N to cut it short because this is an elaborate subject what you opened up on that day which doesn't fall on the same calendar you know the regular modern calendar date on that day there is a natural because you know planet is is not spinning like this it is spinning a certain way and there's a Precision to the planet you know what's a Precision hello not Precision in terms of uh exactness I'm talking about what is Precision in terms of the planet the planet's axis is not simply rotating like this it is going like this it is a wobble there is a wobble to the planet always because of that wobble it creates a certain kind of situation on the planet so on that day especially in the Northern Hemisphere or only in the northern hemisphere there is a natural upsurge of energy there's a natural observation oh all this energy I don't believe you don't just go sit on the coast if there is a full moon night is the ocean Rising hello so new moon day full moon day do you see that o the very ocean is trying to rise well over 2/3 of your body is water what makes you think body water inside the body won't rise all the fluids in the body are also Rising so you will see these things are there everywhere if you are in a if you ever been in a mental institution no you could have gone there in just for you will see on Full Moon days and New Moon days people take extra care because those who are psychologically Disturbed become far more Disturbed people think Moon causes Madness that's why lunar and Looney and all this stuff Moon does not cause Madness it just pulls everything up if you're little crazy it makes you more crazy you're little loving it makes you more loving you're little meditative it makes you more meditative whatever is your quality gets enhanced because it's kind of there's an upsurge in the system this particular day after the solstice happens in December 22nd of December is the winter Sol St after that the planetary Precision is such that there is a natural upsurge on that particular night in a very big way
