One of the most awaited books, ‘Death – An Inside Story’ authored by Sadhguru, founder, Isha Foundation, was released at the hands of vice president of India, Venkaiah Naidu during the recent Mahashivratri celebrations at Isha Yoga Centre, Coimbatore in Tamil Nadu.
The vice president who graced the event as chief guest was accompanied by Sadhguru while visiting Linga Bhairavi temple and the Dhyanalinga Yogic temple before reaching the 112 feet Adiyogi statue where people from across the world thronged to participate in the nightlong Mahashivratri celebrations that began at 6 pm and closed at 6 am next morning. This was the 26th year of such grand celebrations at the Isha Yoga Centre, at the foothills of the Velliangiri hills.
Last year, at the 25th anniversary of Mahashivratri celebrations at Isha Yoga Centre, president of India, Ram Nath Kovind attended as the chief guest.
Known for its grand scale, this year more than half a million people participated in the event in person which was relayed live. Mahashivratri is significant because of the immense spiritual benefits it offers due to natural planetary positions. On this night, the northern hemisphere of the planet is positioned such that there is a natural upsurge of energy in the human system, pushing one towards their spiritual peak. It is therefore considered important to stay awake with the spine erect to benefit from this natural upsurge of energy. The forces of the night are agnostic to faith or religion making Mahashivratri a universally significant night for all human beings, especially those on the spiritual path.
