Mahashivratri, “The Great Night of Shiva”, is the most significant event in India’s spiritual calendar. An occasion of celestial proportions, the alignment of the planetary positions on this night gives rise to a natural upsurge of energy within the human system, making it a unique spiritual possibility for all.

With select musical and cultural performances, a special video display of Adiyogi and explosive meditations led by Sadhguru, participants in their millions from all across the globe stay awake in a state of reverence and joy, using the very forces of nature itself to break limitations and expand into boundless horizons.

Annadanam, the timeless tradition of helping feed spiritual seekers, is an integral part of the auspicous Mahashivratri festival. Known as "the sacred offering of food", Annadanam has always been part of the Indian spiritual tradition and ethos.

Today, Isha supports Annadanam for the thousands of sanyasis, brahmacharis, residents, and volunteers who live and work at the Isha Yoga Center. These ardent seekers have offered their lives to uplift human consciousness and contribute to the wellbeing of all with a single-minded and relentless dedication.
