In this live guided meditation, Paridhi Dhingra leads participants through a detailed Maha Shivratri ritual. The session begins by asking everyone to stand, place their hands on their heart, close their eyes, and focus on breath. Participants are guided to visualize walking through a grand passage toward an immense Shiva temple, entering its gate, and feeling Shiva’s vibrations. They chant "Om" and "Om Namah Shivaya" multiple times while imagining their feet lifting toward the summit of Mount Kailash, where Lord Shiva appears amidst clouds, accompanied by shankh and temple bells. The meditation continues with a series of gratitude expressions, a symbolic Abhishek of a Shiva Lingam using an imagined vessel of milk, and a tactile visualization of touching the Lingam with the forehead. Shiva then bestows blessings, touching the participant’s forehead and affirming his eternal presence. The guide emphasizes that the divine presence resides within each individual, regardless of religious belief, and invites participants to recall the experience whenever they assume the namaste posture. The session concludes with participants sharing a one‑word feeling in the chat, offering mutual blessings, and a brief inclusive apology for non‑believers, reinforcing the intention to honor Maha Shivratri.

First, what I want you to do is hands on your heart, close your eyes, follow exactly what I'm saying. Keep standing, and whatever I say, keep visualizing and repeat whatever I'm saying if I ask you to say something loudly. Close your eyes, focus on your breathing, and smile. Now I want you to imagine you're walking through a grand passage with a garden on your left, with a garden on your right. And it's a grand passage. Keep walking. And as you're walking, in front of you is the most divine, the most massive, and the most grand Shiva temple you have ever seen in your life. It's beautiful, it's grand, and I want you to keep walking towards it. Visualize it. It's in front of you. Walk. Now, as you're approaching the temple, in front of you there is a huge gate. Enter the gate. And as you're entering the gate, you can feel the vibrations Of Lord Shiva inside. Om Namah Shivaya. As you enter, you can't see anything yet, but keep walking, keep walking, keep walking, keep walking. And in front of you, there is a place which is a beautiful place to stand, where there are 2 feet, as if those are feet of Shiva. All I want you to do, just stand over there. And as you stand, take a deep breath. Focus on your breathing. Take a deep breath and say, Om. One more time, Om. Chant 3 more times. And as you're chanting, imagine that your feet are floating above the ground, as if the ground below you is a lift taking you up and up and up and up. As if going to a higher floor of the temple. And as it's taking you up and up and up and up, imagine you've reached the top of a mountain. And when you reach the top, suddenly realize you're on the top of Mount Kailash, on the very peak. And all you can see is clouds around you, nothing else. White energy clouds, like milky white. And in front of you, all you can see is clouds. And from the clouds, there's a beautiful grand vision slowly emerging from the clouds. And as it's coming closer and closer and closer, You're suddenly realizing who this is. It is Lord Shiva coming closer towards you. In the moment you will see Lord Shiva himself, you will hear the sounds of Shankh and temple bells. 1, 2, and 3. Om Namah Shivaya.
