PVR Inox, in collaboration with Isha, is bringing the 30th year of Mahashivratri celebrations to the big screen, for the very first time. The overnight mega event will be screened on March 8 from 6:00 p.m. onwards till the permissible cinema operating hours, live from the Isha Yoga Center, Coimbatore.
The live screening will be shown on more than 50 screens across 35 cities in India. Viewers will not only have the privilege of witnessing this sacred event in the company of fellow devotees but will also receive a specially energized Rudraksha by spiritual leader Sadhguru.
The Mahashivratri celebration at the Isha Yoga Center is a spectacle to behold, featuring explosive meditation sessions, enlightening discourses by Sadhguru, mesmerizing musical and dance performances from renowned artists such as Shankar Mahadevan, Gurdas Maan, Brodha V, and Paradox will grace the event, alongside other classical singers and dancers.
Isha’s homegrown band, Sounds of Isha, will also perform alongside various other artists from all across India.
Mahashivratri is one of the largest and most significant among the sacred festivals of India. The festival celebrates the Grace of Shiva, who is considered the Adi Guru or the First Guru from whom the Yogic tradition originates.
“The significance of the day is that there is an upward movement of energy in the human body. So, this night, we want to spend awake, aware, with our spines erect so that whatever Sadhana we are doing, there is a great assistance from nature,” explained Sadhguru, founder of the Isha Foundation, about the importance of staying awake all night on Mahashivrartri.
Gautam Dutta, co-CEO of PVR Inox said, “The divine festival of Mahashivratri holds unparalleled significance in Indian traditions, offering boundless possibilities for seekers of spiritual divinity. Collaborating with Isha to bring this event to the silver screen for the first time at PVR Inox cinemas for the devotees is an extremely gratifying and blessed opportunity for us. We extend a heartfelt invitation to all devotees to join us at their nearest PVR Imox cinemas and bask in the spiritual magic and make the most of this extremely auspicious festival.”
