Shivaratri Kirtan: An Evening of Devotional Chanting

  • Ananda Temple 2171 El Camino Real Palo Alto, CA United States (map)

Join us in person or watch online.

Join us for a celebration of Shivaratri with our favorite chants from India.

Tonight’s kirtan is in honor of Lord Shiva, symbolic of the destructive force in creation, sometimes feared but also needed to clear away the old and make room for new beginnings. Shivaratri is the night when Shiva is said to have performed the dance of primordial creation, preservation and destruction. It is also the day Shiva was married to the goddess Parvati.  The ‘Great Night of Shiva’, marks the convergence of Shiva and Shakti, divine feminine energy. We will invoke Shiva’s supreme power through meditation and chanting.
