Prime Minister Narendra Modi sent his warm wishes to the Isha Foundation and Lord Shiva devotees on the auspicious day of Maha Shivaratri 2025. The festivities, which will be held at the Isha Yoga Center in Coimbatore, will be attended by the presence of Sadhguru.
In his message, the Prime Minister highlighted the deeply spiritual nature of Maha Shivaratri as a festival that inspires intense devotion and respect. He pointed out that this holy night represents the sacred union of Bhagwan Shiva and Maa Parvati, and that by maintaining unshakable faith, prayer, and self-restraint, the devotees are able to attain a higher plane spiritually and create a closer relationship with the ultimate divine power.
Modi also lauded Sadhguru's project of placing Adiyogi statues all over the nation, terming these symbols of Bhagwan Shiva as a perpetual source of motivation, leading humanity towards self-knowledge and increased consciousness. "It is highly inspiring to see the initiative for setting up Adiyogi statues in different parts of our country. May the transcendental spirit of Bhagwan Shiva keep inspiring seekers and followers towards higher self-knowledge and increased consciousness," he said.
Responding to the Prime Minister’s message, Sadhguru took to X (formerly Twitter) to express his gratitude. “Thank you, Hon’ble Prime Minister, for your warm wishes. Maha Shivaratri is one of Bharat’s most significant festivals, and all should experience its grandeur. Adiyogi’s role in shaping civilization and humanity’s future is profound—his wisdom is not merely a relic of the past but an inspiration for the future. The origin of all human experience lies within us, and so do the answers to the complexities of life. This is the core of Adiyogi's gift, and it will organically determine the future of the world. Thank you again," he said.
Grand Maha Shivaratri festivities at the Isha Yoga Center will be held on the night of February 26, 2025, with events beginning at 6 p.m. and going through to 6 a.m. on February 27. Among the notable visitors who have been invited to participate in the festivities are Union Home Minister Shri Amit Shah, along with other distinguished personalities, who will join the festivities in the presence of Adiyogi and Sadhguru.
