Key Takeaways
New Delhi, Feb 26 (NationPress) On the auspicious occasion of Maha Shivratri celebrated on Wednesday across the nation, individuals from everyday citizens to well-known figures offered their prayers to Lord Shiva in various ways. Gautam Adani, Chairman of the Adani Group, provided a glimpse into his personal worship of Lord Shiva at his residence.
In a video shared on the social media platform X, a magnificent statue of Mahadev is prominently displayed on a stage, enhanced by an impressive lighting setup that resembles a light and sound spectacle. Accompanying this visual display is the powerful recitation of 'Shiv Tandav Stotra'.
In the caption accompanying the post, the Adani Group Chairman expressed, "The entire universe moves only by the grace of Lord Shiva, the deity of sacrifice, penance, and Tandava. I wish to share this 'divine and grand' representation of Bholenath with all of you during our home worship. Best wishes for Mahashivratri!"
Gautam Adani's spiritual side has been evident on numerous occasions.
Recently, his group collaborated with ISKCON to provide Mahaprasad to one lakh individuals daily during the Maha Kumbh held in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh. Additionally, Aarti Sangrah was distributed to millions every day, thanks to the efforts of Gita Press.
His unwavering faith is further demonstrated by his remarks during a recent program, stating that every individual must navigate the journey of life. When one comprehends this, life becomes more manageable.
Using his own life as an example, he shared that he came from a modest background, moving to the city after completing class 10, having little knowledge of the world. He reflected, "When I meditate with my eyes closed, I recall my life journey and how I arrived at this point. No family support, no wealth, no formal education... so how did I get here? You, too, are a puppet; someone guides your actions."
As devotees flocked to temples on Wednesday for the grand Maha Shivratri festivities, this sacred event, which honors Lord Shiva, is observed on the 14th day of the dark fortnight of Phalguna (between February and March) in the Hindu lunar calendar.
It is often referred to as 'The Great Night of Shiva', where millions gather to offer their prayers and seek blessings from the 'Lord of Destruction.'
