Mahashivarathri
Mahashivarathri, which falls on Monday, February 20, 2012, is very significant among the sacred festivals of India. A gift from nature, the unique planetary positions on this night create an upsurge of energy in the human system. By staying awake and keeping the spine erect one can reap immense benefits. The exuberant nightlong festival at the Isha Yoga Center in India sets the ideal ambience for this, with explosive meditations and spectacular musical performances by renowned artists, drawing over a million people. In the presence of Sadhguru, this unrivaled celestial extravaganza opens up the tremendous spiritual possibilities of the night. You can learn more about the festival and join online for free from your home by registering for the webstreaming at mahashivarathri.org

A Volunteering Surprise
One important part of any Isha activity is volunteering. One Isha volunteer was surprised to learn another way his volunteering could help others. He shares:
“I work for Dell and Dell as any corporate in US, Dell encourages volunteering. Any Dell employee can log their volunteering hours, even if it was done outside of their work hours. I had logged the 10 hours we spent on New Year's day Isha Kriya sessions at the Hindu temple in city of Temple,Texas.
Today I was pleasantly surprised to learn that Dell is awarding me $150 that I can gift to the organization of my choice. I just want to let our volunteers know that there are avenues like this where our work can help Isha. So, go ahead and log your times on your company's volunteer program. Surprises like this might happen. Pranams, Sridar."
Only when people begin to think beyond their own wellbeing, something beautiful is possible in the society. -Sadhguru
