After the phenomenal success of the Coldplay Music of the Spheres concert stream, JioHotstar brings ‘Mahashivratri: The Divine Night’ —a first-of-its-kind, multi-format, multi-stream live experience of the festival today, 6PM onwards.
Viewers can witness over 20 aartis from all Jyotirlingas in real time, bringing the celebrations from across the country to their devices. They can also understand the significance of the aartis as well as delve deeper into the meaning of the rituals. JioHotstar has also partnered with the Isha Foundation to live stream their grand rituals, including musical performances by a diverse array of artists. This will also include the meditations and preachings of Sadhguru.
The live event will entail performances inspired by and dedicated to Lord Shiva. The night of musical offerings, cutting across different genres, will be fronted by popular singer, lyricist, and composer Sona Mohapatra.
Talking about this association, Sadhguru, Founder, Isha Foundation, added, “Mahashivratri is a time to turn inward, reflect, and connect with the divine. It is a night of immense energy, where seekers from all walks of life come together. Through JioHotstar, this powerful night becomes even more accessible, where technology bridges distances and spirituality unite us all.”
Speaking about her performance, Singer Sona Mohapatra said, ” Mahashivratri is the day Shiva & Shakti are said to have come together in holy matrimony & this cosmic union of the ying & yang is symbolic of the balance required between love & power in the universe for it to thrive & prosper. I have always believed myself to be the daughter of Shakti & hugely relate to her beloved Shiva who was also an outlier amongst the gods & hung out with those marginalised in society. Most importantly as a musician I see Shiva as the personification of the primal sound of the universe who danced the tandav with a damru, so he was a performer musician too! All the more why I’m excited to perform for Mahashivratri: The Divine Night on JioHotstar. This is an amazing opportunity to celebrate the best of Indias plural culture with music, storytelling & the coming together of all believers across the globe.”
The live event will also include live meditations from The Art of Living, led by spiritual leader Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. Adding to the spiritual and cultural experience, viewers can re-live the magic of Devo Ke Dev… Mahadev with a special three-hour episode showcasing the union of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, as a tribute to the occasion of Mahashivratri.
Tune in to JioHotstar as the Mahashivratri celebrations unfold from 6 PM Today!
