Shivaratri: we celebrate the twelfth on December 11, 2023

December 21, 2022 @ 5:46 PM December 22, 2022 @ 2:43 PM UTC+1

1.- The twelfth Shivaratri (Pausha) of 2023 is December 11, 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 twelfth Shivaratri of 2023 this December 11th.

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 twelfth Shivaratri of 2023 this December 11! During this night, Shiva devotees and Tantra practitioners perform mantra chanting 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 12th Shivarathri of 2022!

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

The Natural Shiva Lingam in this photo is located in Amarnath, 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.

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 of Shiva and his association with cannabis

Shiva is frequently associated with cannabis, which is commonly known as Indian bhang. There are also numerous legends behind it.

According to one, Shiva left for the fields after an angry speech with his family. Exhausted by family conflict and the scorching sun, he fell asleep under a leafy (cannabis) plant. When he woke up, his curiosity led him to taste the leaves of the plant. Instantly rejuvenated, Shiva made the plant his favorite food.

The story of Shiva and his association with cannabis

Another legend goes like this: when the gods and demons churned the ocean of milk to acquire the elixir of life, a drop fell on Mount Madra and a plant sprouted from the drop. The drink made from the leaves of the plant (cannabis) became one of Shiva’s favorites.

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.
