“Shivratri meditation is considered to be very powerful… Before a full moon or close to a new moon, these are the days very congenial for meditation because the mind is connected with the moon. Thus, meditation becomes deeper during Shivratri, particularly on Mahashivratri in Magha masa…

Silence meditation program on Mahashivratri has multiple benefits. When the mind goes outside all the time through senses, it gets tired. So when you become silent, you conserve your energy. You draw your mind inward. That’s when your mind becomes as sharp and focused as a laser beam.

The focused mind is the powerhouse of potential! You become more intuitive and intelligent. Your memory becomes sharper. Your body becomes stronger. During these 3 or 4 days of silence, you will realize how much energy you waste by talking.” ~ Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
