Sadhguru Official
About this episode

Responding to a question on whether youth should celebrate Mahashivratri, and whether it is an outdated religious ritual in modern times, Sadhguru speaks about the science and significance of Mahashivratri. He talks of why one should stay awake on this night to reap the maximum benefits of the natural upsurge of energy that takes place in the Northern Hemisphere.

Set the context for a joyful, exuberant day with a short, powerful message from Sadhguru. Explore a range of subjects with Sadhguru, discover how every aspect of life can be a stepping stone, and learn to make the most of the potential that a human being embodies.
