The grace of Mahāśivarātri is profound. We are blessed on this holy night. Lord Śiva declared this night as his worship for all ages. You have preserved Sanātana Dharma across generations; do not abandon this eternal path. It is the main highway, while other paths are like small sticks. Many saints and avatars have upheld this dharma. A temple for Lord Shiva is established here; offer simple water, fruits, or flowers. This place in Fiji is considered very divine, where many find peace and shed their stress through spiritual practice. Lord Śiva is Bholenāth, the innocent and compassionate one. His grace is illustrated through stories. A thief, climbing a Śivaliṅga with muddy feet to steal, was instead blessed for his inadvertent offering. A poor hunter, whose water and Bilva leaves accidentally worshiped a liṅga, was shown mercy. He spared the honest deer that returned to him, and Śiva subsequently appeared, granting the hunter's family prosperity and liberating all. These acts define the great night. "Sanātana Dharma is the highway, the main road. Other paths are like small sticks." "You are such a great bhakta; you offer yourself to me. What can be a greater bhakta than you?"

This lecture details the Śaṅkha Prakṣālana and Kunjal Kriyā purification techniques. Śaṅkha Prakṣālana is the cleansing of the entire intestine using warm, lightly salted water, performed early in the morning on an empty stomach. It involves drinking water and performing specific movements and postures to guide the water through the system. This practice is beneficial for conditions like high blood pressure and digestive issues but is not advised for those under 15, individuals with active ulcers or hernias, or pregnant women. Preparation includes a light diet the prior evening. The process continues until the expelled water runs clear. A strict diet must follow for at least one week, avoiding alcohol, meat, fish, eggs, and raw foods. Kunjal Kriyā is the cleansing of the stomach, performed after Śaṅkha Prakṣālana by drinking unsalted water to the point of fullness and then voluntarily expelling it. This practice helps purify the stomach and can aid those with bronchial asthma. The session concludes with rest and a meal of specially prepared kicharī. "The best time to do Śaṅkha Prakṣālana is in March, the beginning of September, the end of May, and before the winter." "After Śaṅkha Prakṣālana, you have to keep a diet for at least, strictly, seven days, one week, and up to one month." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

A Śiva Pūjā is performed through invocation, abhiṣeka, and homa. The ritual begins with sacred mantras and offerings to Lord Śiva. Water, sandalwood, and sacred ash are offered with reverence. The five nectars and various substances like rice, betel leaf, and flowers are presented. A fire ceremony is conducted, where offerings are made with the utterance of svāhā. This act symbolizes the sacrifice of negativity and ego into the purifying flames. The recitation of the thousand names of Śiva follows, a profound meditation for this age. The ritual concludes with a peace prayer, affirming the eternal, complete nature of the divine. "Whatever negativity, ego, jealousy, or hatred is with us, we are sacrificing." "Pūrṇamadaḥ, Pūrṇamidaṁ, Pūrṇāt Pūrṇamudacyate." Filming location: Brisbane, Australia
