It was an awesome experience!!! Almost 40 participants attended MSR2023 Barcelona celebration. Many happy faces, music and dancing. It was an unforgettable night!!! We stayed up the whole night and were charged with energy and nice food. I love Sadhguru discourses and powerful midnight meditation and chanting. I felt so touched and emotional. ❤️❤️❤️ 😊 #ShivaShivaAllNight #MahashivratriEurope

My expectations were ultra-high for this event, my first experience of the MahaShivaRatri, and I have to say that I am amazed by the fact that it exceeded all of them; especially due to awesome improvement that I have experienced since the festival. I didn't do it perfectly as I didn't fast but the experience was gorgeous and the fact of watching and listening to some many shows and indian music really open my eyes to this beautiful culture, which has filled me up with a huge interest and motivation to explore and learn more about it. If I had to point out the key point of the celebration it is precisely the personal improvement that leaves in your life as I found myself to be more disciplined with my sadhana which makes me discover new dimensions of the consciousness more quickly and not just in meditation but in all aspects of my life. It is a vital experience for anyone. I am going to start now to prepare myself for the next year MahaShivaRatri in order to transform this night into a far more transcendental event for my inner evolution. It is my wish for everybody to find the strength and motivation to do it as well. Thank you for everything, hope to see you all and many more next year!

First time attending Mahashivaratri vigil in London. The planning and execution of the event were systematic. It was a lovely evening filled with devotion. Following the online stream by Sadhguru, chanting, food, and the company was optimistic. There were people from different cultural backgrounds uniting for one reason: Lord Shiva-spirituality

Our local Isha Volunteers organized a very cosy place, with a big video screen and a bonfire at the frontporch. I really enjoyed it, especially the dancing and the chanting. Troughout the whole night there was this really pure and delightfull energy, which kept me going till the morning. Thank you so much for that experience!

It was my firs time attending Mahashivratri in the Netherlands. I thought maybe 20 people would come to celebrate mahashivratri, but in reality 75 people showed up. We enjoyed talking to one another and I must say that everyone was energetic, kind/loving. We all danced together during the night and felt the presence of the devine❣️ We also ate together the delicious food that many people brought. It was indeed a magnificent and fun night to spend with a big family🙏🏽 The meditations and chanting were powerful and magical. I really felt connected and blessed! I’m grateful to had such an experience. Let’s help sadhguru wake up humanity! I hope all of you can live in harmony, bliss, love and light. Namaste 🙏🏽

It was an opportunity not to be missed when I heard about it . I was looking forward to it whole week & I was the first to be there at 1805 UK time . To my surprise no one else has arrived except Devadip who was very welcoming.I spoke to Balwant before coming in as this was first gathering in Leicester. Whenever we start something new there are always teething problems but I congratulate the Leicester team for their patience & efforts. People were joining until 11pm & we were a smaller group of 15 but this was not about anything else but sitting for sadhna so nothing much distracted me. It was a great ambience & amazing experience doing sadhna with Sadhguru & seeing him dancing. I had some issues with my back sitting down from 1800- 3 am so left bit early. I would definitely volunteer next year to improve the experience until I can be there physically. Well done everyone 👏 Namashkar 🙏🏽

This was my 3rd Mahashivratri. The first time I was home alone. This was very hard for me, because sleep was around the corner a lot haha. The second time I spend at my sisters place, with her, my brother in law and a good friend. This was easier and more fun. Eventhough all of them went to bed before 6 a.m. This year I went to a local celebration in Rotterdam. I never expected so many Ishanga's would come! About 70 to 75 people were there. I really enjoyed it and it was a lot of fun. We danced, we talked and watched the livestream. I really enjoyed it. The midnight meditation was a bit dissapointing. I have the feeling it keeps getting less deep every year. Also the livestream hopped forward to 5:30 at one point. Hopefully better next year! Overal Mahashivrati gave me more energy. I keep feeling connected with live and the earth more and more. I really want to intensivy my spiritual journey the next few years. I already registred for Surya Kriya!

Marashivratri in Paris was so joyful and powerful as we are all together! It's the first time I could experience Marashivratri in person, when we chant 112 times yogeshwaraya, I didn't even feel the time runs, it was already finished! Usually I have little pain when I chant 12 times at home, but the night of Marashivratri, everything is just easy and fluid. I am volunteering for the venue, when I see how everyone is involved with full of love and all their energy, doesn't matter what's needed, they just do it. It's very heartwarming to be a part of this incredible night. Somewhere in my heart is awakening, I will continue to work inside with all the practices, can't wait for next Marashivratri! Thank you endlessly, to Isha, to all the volunteers, and all the participants. ❤️🌹🙏🙇🏻‍♀️🪔🔱📿🔥

What an amazing night! Once again! Shiva’s energy infused the space that Shayla and Natassa had so beautifully prepared for us all, allowing to have the best possible experience! Sadhguru’s grace was all over the place but most of all in my heart. The 21 days preparation Sadhana worked magic. Space and time were not an issue! May all be well, grateful to all🙏💝❤️ Maria Maleviti from Athens, Greece

C'était fantastique ! Je voudrais remercier toutes les personnes qui ont rendue cette célébration possible, tous les bénévoles, participants, Fondation Isha et Sadhguru lui-même 🙏💗 Une atmosphère remplie de joie énorme, très belle opportunité de rencontrer des personnes merveilleuses, de m'imprégner de cet énergie magique partagée par tous, portée par le même état d'esprit de bienveillance, d'amour et de lumière. Quelle béatitude, je me suis sentie chez moi, comme un poisson dans l'eau. Chant, danse, percussions en live et l'occasion d'en jouer, de la nourriture savoureuse, méditations.. tout était génial ! Mes batteries sont rechargées pour un long moment, merci infiniment 🙏✨📿🌠

Video transcript: Whatever you called has joy, whatever know his happiness. Did the joy rain upon new are did blossom and find an external expression, which we was. We you always came from, isn't it something. Have you noticed thirty certain moment when you're very happy? Who's walking your celebration. Do you see every step that you take breath to take is celebration. The question is not about what you're drinking what you're eating. What kind of your. You're joyful. Is the inner atmosphere which decides a celebration, not days too. If you're happy. Land celebrations. That's how it should be.

Namaskaram, After a span of 3 years had an opportunity to attend MSR event in London. The whole atmosphere was filled with joy and exuberance. There was never a moment of dullness. Didn't realize how the time passed by so quickly. Have been following MSR from home in the past years, But coming together to celebrate this event has enriched my experience thru the night. Gratitude to Sadhguru for this opportunity. Kumar London

Video transcript: Scared everyone. So spring is finally here in Austria australia, and we had a wonderful celebration. Celebration last Saturday. We were around sixty people joining in a beautiful hall and celebrating the night together and it went by too fast, all these music and meditations. They drew me in and made you feel the presence of the ash much deeper. It was my fifth, Marsha already, and I remember the first time I did I stayed up all night for much my whole life completed turned around and I was drunk and I was happy on just meditation. And it was the first time I experienced states like this. And I also dropped my fear of darkness. I walked out side in the forest and... Where it was completely dark at night, and was like free Am or something. Or two Am and I just walked through. I conquered this huge fear and felt so at home in the darkness for the first time in my life. So also this Saturday, the meditations were just touching me very deeply. En me. I did not feel tired. Little bit in between. I wanted to do soft after midnight But for the reason, it kicked me pumped up. I do not feel hungry at all. I didn't eat. And there was a surprise. So didn't have to force myself. And, yeah, it is just something. I would recommend everybody to try and and do and This is the most awaited night of the whole year for me. I wish to have more of these nights. But yeah, otherwise, it wouldn't be that special I guess. So... Yeah. Bye bye.

I participated as a volunteer and even though I had barely slept the past few days before the event, the celebration was so intense and joyful that it kept me awake through the night with a huge sense of love and devotion. I particularly enjoyed the midnight meditation, meeting new people and setting up the venue to create a conducive ambiance.

Celebrating wth a group of isha meditators and volunteers are more excited than celebrating alone at home, whole night long full with love, compassion and inclusiveness. After midnight it was quite hard still to stay awake. MSR is the night to be more aware of the compulsive instincts like eat and sleep. Finally we have made that - stay awake until the end! Like Sadhguru said, everyday is MSR, to be in present, to live totally. I am committed to the project conscious planet, to help more people to taste the sweetness of the life itself, to make the world more peacefully and blissfully. Thank all the volunteers for the beautiful offerings!

Video transcript: Now. My name is Marcus, and I joined the marcia shi pre event in Vienna. For me, personally, I would say this was the most amazing night of my life. It was just so great to actually celebrated it with other people, the the past two years, I had to celebrate it alone at home in front of my laptop, and it was just not the same. It was such a a night full of joy and dance and laughter. It was so much fun, and it was just great to see people coming together in celebrating something so special together. The location in Vienna was really, really amazing. We were able to decorate it nicely and, yeah, even set up Sat picture and the Dia ling, we brought recognize flowers, so it was really beautiful, beautiful setup. We had amazing food, everyone brought. Their delicious dishes to the pot dinner, It was amazing how people gave to this and how wishes the foods were. So I really enjoyed that even though I didn't eat too much. But it was good for breakfast the next day. For me personally, I had have so much energy on that long that I was able to dance all that long basically, and really what was the most amazing thing for me was how much of south angie were there with us. It was really... There was so much grace in this room. It was incredible. And the midnight meditation was extremely powerful. The chanting I was in a tran basically, and then the meditation where we put our hands on the different chakra it was one of the greatest things ever. I really felt like the energy lifted me up so my body really physically stretched out my fine lifted it up. And then when I had to put my hands on my forehead on my third eye, I really experience subtle touching me with his energies and I felt so much bliss and joy in that moment. I was... I was so overwhelmed. I'm not just tears started flowing, and it was just an amazing night with so many great moments. And I'm so grateful that sadhguru made it also happen for us in Vienna that he was there with his grace and it was available to all of us. Yeah. It was just truly an amazing night. And next year, we're gonna have twice as many people double will the size of the location and really make it happen for us to again. Thank you so much.

Mahashivratri 2023 in Belgium has been fantastic, Beyond Words. A Wonderful Communion in which All of Us were surfing on the Same Waves of Energy. Sometimes Deeply Meditative, sometimes Highly Exuberant or Extremely Joyful. Each participant has been totaly involved from Evening till Dawn where We left each other Drunk of Joy and Sweetness. A Wonderful Experience which will remain with Us forever. I'm very Grateful for this Night.
