Lord Shiva is known as Mahakal, the Lord of Time. He is the force that dissolves negativity, removes obstacles, and grants freedom from suffering. He represents stillness, awareness, and the power to destroy limiting beliefs, karmic patterns, and planetary influences that hold us back.

Mahashivratri (Feb 15, 2026), the Great Night of Shiva, is an ancient festival that honors Lord Shiva. Unlike most celebrations that involve feasting and festivities, Mahashivratri is a deeply spiritual night, observed through fasting, meditation, and prayers, as it is believed to be the night when Shiva’s energy is most accessible to those who seek it.
