The celebrations are set to reach 140 million viewers worldwide via 100+ TV channels and digital streams in 23 languages.

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh will be the chief guest at the 33rd Mahashivratri celebrations organized by Sadhguru at the Isha Yoga Center in Coimbatore on February 15 , 026. The event will also be attended by Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, Union Minister L Murugan, and other prominent dignitaries, a statement said.

The night-long celebrations will feature devotion, music, and meditation, starting with the Pancha Bhuta Kriya at the Dhyanalinga, a ritual honoring the five elements: earth, water, fire, air, and space. This will be followed by the Linga Bhairavi Maha Yatra, a grand procession celebrating the divine feminine.

Musical performances will include Aditya Gadhvi presenting Gujarati folk music, Prashant Sonagra and team performing traditional drums, and collaborations between Sounds of Isha, Swaroop Khan, Blaaze, Paradox, Swagat Rathod, and Prithvi Gandharv, blending folk and contemporary styles.

The celebrations are expected to reach over 140 million viewers globally through live broadcasts across more than 100 TV channels and digital streams in 23 Indian and foreign languages.

For the first time this Mahashivratri, Sadhguru will personally conduct the Yogeshwara Linga Maha Abhishekam, a free, sacred ritual enabling global devotees an opportunity to connect with this consecrated live energy form.

A major highlight of the night is Adiyogi Divya Darshanam, a powerful light and sound show that brings the 112-foot Adiyogi statue, inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2017, to life.

With Sadhguru narrating the story of how yoga began, it fills the space with a sense of awe and reverence for the tens of thousands gathered at the venue and the millions watching online.

Known as the “Great Night of Shiva," Mahashivratri is a unique planetary phenomenon when the natural upsurge of energy in the human system is especially conducive for spiritual growth.

Sadhguru explains, “We have the advantage of being at the foothills of Velliangiri Mountains, called the Kailash of the South, where legend says Shiva himself spent over three-and-a-half months… we are at eleven degrees latitude, which is very important because of… the tilt that the planet has and the spin it has. The maximum amount of centrifuge happens at approximately eleven degrees latitude, so that means there is a natural upsurge of energy. And Mahashivaratri is that day when this upsurge of energy is at its peak and this will be the best place to be on that night."

Seekers from across the globe are invited to stay awake and aware through the night, either by being present at the Isha Yoga Center or by joining the celebrations via online livestreams, with the event also broadcast on major television networks.
