Mahashivaratri satsang from Khatu
This sacred Siddha Pīṭha is established by the grace of Śiva and the tapasyā of the lineage. The tradition continues from the Satya Yuga. A Siddha attains the highest spiritual state of samādhi and nirvāṇa. This place is a center of spiritual energy generated by the meditation of past masters. Śivarātri holds great significance, commemorating the original Yogi, Bhagavān Śiva, who consumed the world's poison for universal welfare. In such energy fields, even minimal sādhana has a powerful effect. This human life is a rare opportunity for spiritual welfare. Saints require only śraddhā and purity of mind; happiness is found in their company, not in wealth. This land of tapas was made fertile by sages for humanity's benefit. India is the hope of the world, the divine land where all sages are born. Yoga, rooted here, is a transformative practice for rising to a divine state. A resolve must be made to practice it integrally.
"Either Bhagavān Śiva becomes pleased the fastest, or the saints and mahātmās do."
"Saints require nothing; they only need śraddhā. Our minds must have purity."
