As followers of Lord Shiva celebrated Maha Shivratri this week, Indian guru Sadhguru and founder of Isha Foundation, shared a unique teaching that combined religion and life earlier today.

In a tweet on X, Sadhguru said, "The darkest night of the year is the Great Night of Shiva - #Mahashivratri - because Darkness is all-pervading & it is in this lap of emptiness that all Creation has happened. The darkest night is a night ripe with immense Possibilities to accelerate one's spiritual growth and evolution. A night not just for wakefulness but for Awakening - Sg."

Diving into the importance of the day, he says the day is one for immense pollibities that one should make the most of to accelerate one's spiritual growth. In the process, he says it is important to learn the difference between wakefulness and awakening.

Interestingly, his message comes on the night that coincides with the Maha Kumbh Mela concluding after it started on January 13 and saw thousands of devotees visit over time.
