The night of Shiva, called Shivaratri, is a very important time period where, if you do even a very simple practice, you’re eligible to get the grace of Lord Shiva. — Dr. Pillai
“This Shivaratri is very important because this marks the threshold of the Golden Age time period. So, I want to do something very different. I will lead you to a practice of meditation, which is an astral trip to the world of Shiva, or the heaven of Shiva, called Kailash.
“Kailash is a plane of bliss. Once you get there, people get to stay there forever. According to tradition, it's a place in the Himalayas. It’s very difficult to reach that peak.
I will lead you through a meditation that corresponds to a Shaivite saint named Sundara, who lived in the eighth century. He came from Kailash and lived here for 20 or 25 years. He did not like it here and wanted to go back. He describes how it became possible for him to get to Kailash—you need to be invited.
This story is very helpful for astral travel to Kailash… I have taught different mantras for Shiva, but this is the first time I am doing this. So, I want to invite you to join me in our meditation to go to Kailash.
“Meditation is not a losing process. It is a gaining process of everything that is out there. I’m not the guy here to say, ‘Just go to the Himalayas and meditate.’ No, be here. While you are here, you can have both worlds. But don’t even think about the flesh body. When you get a light body, you will be in heaven. Jesus said, ‘I’m going to go and get a room reserved for you in my father’s many, many mansions.’ Are they there? They are. You can astral travel and go to these places to get an experience, which I’m going to teach on the Night of the Shiva on March 8. This is the new paradigm of teaching. I want to continue that.”
— Dr. Pillai
The Maha Shivaratri 2024 date is March 8. Participating in spiritual practice on the Great Night of Shiva helps connect you with Lord Shiva and is known to equate to millions of years of meditation. Shiva’s energy is available in abundance on Earth during this time to help:
“The heaven of Shiva is called Kailash. That heaven is like experiencing intense bliss through the experience of having no desire, having no fulfillment. It is completely a state of nirvana, nothing exists. You don't exist, and your body doesn't exist, nothing exists. And that experience is just complete liberation from the body, mind, desire, and fulfillment of desire, everything is gone. Then what you are is you are everything, and you are nothing. And that is your real self.” — Dr. Pillai
Dr. Pillai teaches that rituals are more powerful than meditation. As part of his own vigil, he is inspired to perform a fire lab and a Shiva Abishekam (hydration ritual) on behalf of participants to invoke Lord Shiva’s blessings during this peak powertime for enlightenment and transformation.
He will also initiate you into a powerful mantra and guide you through an astral travel experience to Shiva’s Heaven (Kailash)—a plane of bliss.

Poojas are sacred offerings of sound, light, and other materials performed to invoke the blessings of a Divine being. A pooja to Lord Shiva is said to attract his divine presence and support for karma removal, enlightenment, higher consciousness/wisdom, and destiny transformation.
Hydration rituals involve pouring milk, juice, water, or other forms of liquid over a physical representation of an archetype (lingam or statue) to appease them and call upon their energetic presence.
Performing these ceremonies on Shivaratri is believed to be especially powerful, as Lord Shiva’s descent to the Earth plane on this night allows us to access his divine intervention in abundance. Expert Pillai Center Teacher Sucharita will conduct these ceremonies on your behalf so the benefits can reach you by proxy.

Participate in a live Fire Lab performed by Priestess Swamini Valli, who has been blessed and trained by Dr. Pillai to conduct these rituals.
This Fire Lab to honor Shiva will include Namashivaya mantra chanting with offerings placed in the fire to appease him and draw his presence close. These are the sounds of the 5 elements (Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Space). With these sounds, we become harmonized with the elements so that we are in the right place at the right time, doing the right thing in the right way, with the right attitude. Your name and Birth Star will be placed into the fire to invoke your energetic presence, allowing proxy benefits to reach you.

“What’s going to happen on [Shivaratri] night? And why is it so significant? Because it is the night where there are special blessings from the Shiva. He picked up this particular night to help not only the human beings here on this Earth plane but for the entire Universe. During this night, the mind principle can totally be erased, and you can be in a different state of consciousness, and that is Shiva’s consciousness.” — Dr. Pillai
