I began to fall in love with India and with the colourful rituals and exotic celebrations that are at the heart of Hindu and Vedic culture. After my third week in India, Guruji told us that we would be celebrating the annual festival of Maha Shivaratri, the Great Night of Shiva. Shiva is the meditative and transformational aspect of nature, and it is thought that on this night, Shiva, as pure consciousness, is more available than on any other night of the year. To gain the maximum spiritual benefit, many celebrate the festival by staying awake and aware throughout the night.
