"Divine Awakening" is a spiritually enriching retreat designed to prepare our community for the blessings of Mahashivaratri. During this day-long retreat, participants will embark on a journey of spiritual deepening and communal bonding.

Through educational and inspirational sessions, participants will gain insights into the profound significance of Mahashivaratri and the symbolism behind the rituals involved. Meditation, mantra chanting, and yoga sessions will help purify the body and mind, fostering a deeper connection with the divine. Group activities and discussions will strengthen our community bonds, fostering a collective spirit of devotion and reverence.
