Celestial Alignment
On Mahashivratri, the northern hemisphere of the planet is positioned in a way that there is a natural upsurge of energy in a human being. This is a day when nature is pushing one towards one’s spiritual peak.
The Vertical Spine
Because of the planetary position, keeping the spine erect throughout the night allows the upward movement of energy (Kundalini).
Conscious Evolution
It is said that one night of conscious wakefulness on Shivratri is equivalent to years of meditation.
