Literally it means ‘the great night of Shiva\,’ a night in which we honour Shiva\, considered the first yogi and the embodiment of high consciousness.   \nThere are many legends associated with this festival; it is said to be the day when Lord Shiva drank poison\, representing negativity\, in order to protect the world. However\, instead of killing him\, he was able to absorb the poison and integrate it\, symbolizing facing the ups and downs of life without being influenced. \nMaha Shivaratri also marks the union between Lord Shiva and the goddess Parvati\, the meeting of Shiva (consciousness) and Shakti (energy). \nCelebrated each year on the 4th night of the new moon\, during Krishna Paksha in the Hindu month of Phalgun\, which falls around the months of February or March.  \n\n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The Maha Shivaratri celebration will start at 5pm with Havan\, Abishek and Kirtan. Havan is an ancient fire ceremony from the ancient Indian Vedic tradition where we use mantra and fire for means of transformation. \nKirtan is a joyful and uplifting mantra practice that originates from the Bhakti yoga tradition. In Kirtan we sing the mantra in call and response\, it is a practice that brings connection to our hearts and to the present moment through sound. \nAt 6.30pm\, the program will conclude with a delicious vegetarian meal.   \nDon’t miss this opportunity to come together as a community on this special evening of Maha Shivaratri to uplift and raise the vibration within us and around us. \nPlease RSVP before 12pm Saturday \nPhone: +64(3)525-9887\nE-mail: yoga@anahata-retreat.org.nz[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\nExplore other yoga retreats and events\n[/vc_column_text]Delicious Salad RecipesApril 2\, 2021  Salads don't have to be boring or bland!

Considered in the Yogic tradition as the Adi Guru\, the first teacher from whom the yogic tradition originates. \nThere are many legends associated with this festival; it is said to be the day when Lord Shiva drank poison that came out of the ocean in order to protect the world. However\, the poison did not kill him\, it remained in his neck and turned his neck blue. \nMaha Shivaratri marks the union between Lord Shiva and the goddess Parvati\, the meeting of Shiva (consciousness) and Shakti (energy). \nCelebrated each year on the 4th night of the new moon\, during Krishna Paksha in the Hindu month of Phalgun\, which falls around the months of February or March. \nIt is a time when the planetary alignment and position are of the highest natural energy\, which makes this an auspicious time for spiritual practice.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The Maha Shivaratri celebration will start at 4pm with a 60-minute Hatha Yoga asana and Pranayama (breathing practices) class.

Havan is an ancient fire ceremony from the ancient Indian Vedic tradition where we use mantra and fire for means of transformation. \nKirtan is a joyful and uplifting mantra practice that originates from the Bhakti yoga tradition. In Kirtan we sing the mantra in call and response\, it is a practice that brings connection to our hearts and to the present moment through sound. \nAt 6.30pm\, the program will conclude with a delicious vegetarian meal.   \n  \nDon’t miss this opportunity to come together as a community on this special evening of Maha Shivaratri to uplift and raise the vibration within us and around us. \n  \nPlease RSVP before 1pm on Monday 4th March\, 2019 \nPhone: +64(3)525-9887\nE-mail: yoga@anahata-retreat.org.nz[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\nExplore other yoga retreats and events\n[/vc_column_text]Delicious Salad RecipesApril 2\, 2021  Salads don't have to be boring or bland!
