Shivaratri: we celebrate the tenth on October 12, 2023

October 23, 2022 @ 2:33 PM October 24, 2022 @ 1:57 PM UTC+1

1.- The tenth Shivaratri (Kartika) of 2023 is October 12, a date marked in Kashmir Shaivism

1.1.- Shivaratri, feel the power of Tantra

The night of Shiva Shivaratri It is the night before the new moon (or Amavasya) of each month (or Masik), and is considered the darkest night because it comes before the beginning of the lunar cycle towards the full moon. We celebrate the tenth Shivaratri of 2023 this October 12.

During this astrological and special event for Tantra, due to the absence of the influence of the moon, the solar and masculine energies (represented by Shiva) are manifested to the maximum. This exceptional phenomenon gives us the possibility of entering into communion with Shiva (the supreme solar/masculine principle) very easily, and benefiting from his power.

We celebrate the tenth Shivaratri of 2023 this October 12! During this night, Shiva devotees and Tantra practitioners perform chanting of mantras and pujas, deep meditations, entering states of ecstasy, enlightenment and even Moksha spiritual liberation. Worshiping Lord Shiva from your heart helps you attain salvation and grace for your whole life.

2.- The most propitious night to transfigure yourself into Shiva

In the tradition of Shivaism in Kashmir, it is also very successful for tantric aspirants to take the opportunity to do the love ritual during the night of Masik Shivaratri. It is a very auspicious moment for the spiritual and tantric couple. Aspirants can greatly benefit from the awakening and expansion of consciousness, and from a very characteristic and solar state of mental clarity. Also, men, taking advantage of this beneficial moment, can significantly increase their virility and solarity.

So we advise you to meditate with Shiva, and if it is possible to do the love ritual during the night of Masik Shivaratri, to experience what is exposed (in yourselves).

In the tradition of Kashmir Shivaism let’s celebrate the tenth Shivaratri of 2022!

3.- The history of the Shiva Lingams and their sacred properties according to Tantra

The Shiva Lingam in this photo is located in Parashurameshvar, India.

The Shiva Lingams are archaic sculptural forms carved from one piece. The stone of which they are carved, was created millions of years ago, since they come from a meteorite that collided in ancient times against the earth in the Narmanda River in India. Currently, the stone of this deposit is still extracted to create new Lingams for the temples, and for other sacred forms.

Shiva Lingams are considered sacred and are associated with healing, as they activate the Chakras and the rise of Kundalini energy.

This stone symbolizes the divine union of Shiva and Shakti, as it represents the union of the opposite: the masculine and the feminine, the body and the soul.

4.- Once a year the great Maha Shivaratri is celebrated

Maha Shivaratri, the main festival of Kashmir Shaivism, will be celebrated this year on Monday, February 18, from 11:44 PM to 12:31 PM on March 20. Mainland India time.

Once a year, we celebrate Maha Shivaratri, Shiva’s great night. This momentous event in Tantra is traditionally dedicated to Paramashiva (Shiva, or the Supreme Consciousness: God). Shiva’s devotees consider this night to be the most sacred of the entire year, and it is enthusiastically celebrated by all Shivaites, all over the world.

The Maha Shivaratri, the main festival of Shivaism in Kashmir, this year was celebrated on Monday, February 28, from 10:46 PM to 8:30 PM in Peninsular Spain time.

Among the twelve Shivaratri of the Hindu calendar, Mahashivratri is the one with the greatest spiritual importance. This is a day when nature pushes human beings towards their spiritual self, the true one. The importance of this celebration (which lasts all night) is to allow the energies coming from the Macrocosm to emerge in us, and in a natural way.

5.- One of the mythological stories related to Shiva

5.1.- Stories of Tantra: The story by which Shiva fell at the feet of the goddess Kali

Goddess Kali is considered the fiercest and most destructive form of Shakti.

Once upon a time, Rakta Beej, a powerful demon who could duplicate himself as soon as a drop of his blood touched the Earth. It soon became uncontrollable. Therefore, Shakti in the form of Goddess Durga was summoned to kill the demon. As soon as she wounded him, her blood fell on Earth and the demon continued to multiply.

The story why Shiva fell at the feet of the goddess Kali

Enraged by this, Devi took on the fierce form of Kali and killed each demon and immediately drank their blood. After consuming the army, the Goddess went berserk with bloodlust and slaughtered the innocents. The gods approached Shiva for help, who lay down among the corpses. He accidentally stepped on Shiva and soon realized his mistake and calmed down, causing his tongue to stick out.

The origin of our effort
“Our effort is focused on offering quality content based on the sacred scriptures on traditional Hatha Yoga, the oral tantra of the Shakta tradition of Shivaism from Kashmir, and the most relevant aspects of Hindu spirituality and Advaita Vedānta. In our ignorant and complacent Western society, both Yoga and Tantra are continually vilified and misunderstood by multiple pseudo-masters, who make up, for their benefit, versions of these ancient traditions.

The time has come to offer close content, based on the sacred scriptures of Hinduism, so that the truth of Traditional Yoga and the Shivaita Tantra tradition begin to take root in our society. We prostrate before Sri Nityananda and Sri Muktananda, links in our tantric tradition, who impel us to carry out this work. But above all, thank the inspiration of our guru, Swami Satyananda Saraswati, who is a source of guidance, love and divine inspiration.”

El Shivaismo de Cachemira predica la experiencia de la realización del Ser, cuando este se identifica con “Eso”, la Conciencia absoluta. Accedemos a la experiencia de “no mente” (que es lo que significa Tantra) en la que nuestra personalidad se disuelve en la contemplación del Ser, que lo abarca todo y del que somos parte integral.
