Mahashivaratri was celebrated on 17th of February 2023 at Amrita Vidyalayam under the guidance of Brni. Sharanyamrita Chaitanya ji. Students of classes VIIA, VIIB and VIIC took part in the puja along with their parents. Program started with chanting of Rudram and Lingashtakam which was followed by Shiva Ashtottari, to which students chanted “Aum Shivaya Namah” after each mantra by offering flowers to Shiva lingam. Sharanyamrita ji in her satsang described the importance of Shivaratri festival and Shiva tattwa. She also threw light on the real meaning of Up-vas, the cycle of birth, sustenance and death which is but a natural change of state was beautifully explained. Few Shiva Bhajans were sung which changed the whole place to a divine atmosphere. The program ended by performing aarti to Amma and chanting of shanti mantras. Everyone present offered flowers and took Prasad before they left. Parents and students were deeply influenced by the positive energy the whole puja created in them and were thankful for the same.
