The Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, has wished for the Mahashivratri festival to be held under the leadership of Sadhguru at the Isha Yoga Center in Coimbatore.
In a letter to Sadhguru, the Prime Minister has said, “Heartiest congratulations to everyone at Isha Foundation and to the countless devotees of Lord Shiva who are involved in the auspicious event of Mahashivratri 2025 organized at the Isha Yoga Center in Coimbatore.
Mahashivratri, one of the most important festivals celebrated with great enthusiasm, inspires deep devotion and respect for its spiritual upliftment. The festival is a time for fasting, meditation and introspection, and signifies the triumph of knowledge over ignorance. As the name Mahashivaratri suggests, it is the auspicious night when Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati were married – the cosmic union of Shiva and Shakti. It is widely believed that on the day of Mahashivaratri, through devotion, prayers and self-control, devotees can progress spiritually, as well as establish a connection with the higher divine power.
Festivals like Mahashivaratri transcend the barriers of geography, culture, time and space, connecting humanity to a common point of inner peace, balance and harmony. It also instills respect for nature and teaches the message of peaceful coexistence with it. It is also heartening to learn about the efforts being made to install Adiyogi idols in various parts of our country. May the sublime form of Lord Shiva continue to inspire devotees to make the necessary efforts to cultivate awareness and higher states of consciousness.
May the 2025 Isha Mahashivratri celebrations led by Sadhguru be a grand success, with prayers at the divine feet of Lord Shiva to shower his blessings on humanity.”
Thanking him for this, Sadhguru posted on his X page saying, “Thank you Hon’ble Prime Minister for your warm wishes. All should experience the grandeur of Mahashivaratri, one of the most significant festivals of Bharat. Adiyogi’s contribution in the making of this Civilization & for the future of Humanity is such that Adiyogi shall not remain as a figure of the past but an inspiration for the future to seek wellbeing & transcendence, not from above but from within. The source of all human experience is within us & the solutions for all human problems and complexities are also within us. This is the fundamental of Adiyogi’s contribution & this shall naturally be the future of this world.” mentioned Sadhguru
