Chak De! India actress Vidya Malvade explained the significance of Mahashivratri in context of yoga (she is a regular practitioner of yoga) in her post. Vidya wrote: "This - the darkest night of the year - celebrates the Grace of Shiva, who is considered the Adi Guru or the First Guru, from whom the yogic tradition originates. The planetary positions on this night are such that there is a powerful natural upsurge of energy in the human system."

#OmNamahShivaya 🕉 ... #Adiyogi .. #Adiguru #namo #namah .. 🙏🏼 .. #MahaShivratri ... is one of the largest and most significant among the sacred festival nights of India. This – the darkest night of the year – celebrates the Grace of Shiva, who is considered the Adi Guru or the First Guru, from whom the yogic tradition originates. The planetary positions on this night are such that there is a powerful natural upsurge of energy in the human system. It is enormously beneficial for one's physical and spiritual wellbeing to stay awake and aware in a vertical position throughout the night... #Sadhguru ... ... #myshiva #mylove #shivashakti #HarHarMahadev .. @simplysheeba #heartofawarriorprincess

Devotees of Lord Shiva are celebrating Mahashivratri today, on the last day of the Kumbh Mela, one of the largest religious gatherings in the world held in Uttar Pradesh's Prayagraj. Devotees of Lord Shiva observe a day-long fast for Mahashivratri and only eat food the next day.
