Namaste everyone,
Shivaratri Intensive: Saturday to Monday at the Abode of Peace Ashram, Cooranbong
Shivaratri is the marriage of Parvati and Shiva. Parvati is also Kundalini Shakti who lives inside of us, and Shiva is pure bliss beyond form. In order for Parvati to fully merge with Shiva so there is only one, the supreme being, She has to pierce each chakra. The scriptures say that the rising Kundalini has to destroy Fear, Desire, Hunger, Anger, Communication and Introspection to attain ultimate Divine oneness, Shivoham. What does this mean?
We will explore this in the Shiva tradition and in our lives and ramp up the energy with Shiva Lingam abhishekam and fire pujas to be held each evening from Saturday night to the new moon on Tuesday night inclusive.
