Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar's message on Maha Shivaratri
"Wherever there is truth there is Shiva. Wherever there is beauty there is Shiva. Wherever there is benevolence there is Shiva. And there is not a place where Shiva principle is not there. Omnipresent, omnipotent, most benevolent energy, Divinity is what Shiva is all about. We are so keen in that, we forget that this power is there with us! And Shivaratri is to remind us, Shivoham, Shivoham, I am that, I am part of Shiva, I am that principle, I am the truth, eternity, beauty, benevolence, I am that. This is an occasion to remember. In all the daily hussle, bussle, we forget that from which we have come, in which we are, to which we go, that eternal principle is forgotten. This is the most puzzling thing! So puzzling how we can forget that from which we have come, in which we live, into which we dissolve. How come we forget that! This is a big puzzle. Remembering that, true celebration happens in life. All the worries disappear, everything that’s bothering you simply disappears. And so lucky, you all were in silence and meditated this day.
Shivaratri is when the manifest and unmanifest celebrate their union. The one which is so unmanifest, intangible, abstract, manifests in the manifestation, in the concrete."
