Sadhguru: The significance of this night is seen in many different ways in the tradition.
The householders see this as the wedding anniversary of Shiva and Parvathi, that's their way of
seeing it.
The ambitious ones see it as the day Shiva vanquished all his enemies, that is their
way of seeing it.
The yogi's and the sadhakas see it as the day when Adiyogi became still, so still that
he merged with Kailash parvat.
There are many ways to look at this night but the most important thing is that the nature
is with us, Adiyogi is with us.
We should not miss the night.
This is not just a night of wakefulness.
This must become a night of awakening for every one of you.
Why this whole effort?
One thing is Mahashivratri.
Another thing is, why this Adiyogi, tch?
What is the significance today?
Are we starting a new cult?
Are we out to create a new religion or are we once again bringing back a legend to life?
None of these.
The significance of Adiyogi is that he offered scientific solutions to every aspect of life's
problems and issues and possibilities.
Because the approach is so scientific, in this 15,000 years or more, people only were
overwhelmed by his presence, overwhelmed by his teacher, overpowered by his force, but
did not really apply what he offered, because it took humanity to mature into a certain
state of intellect and logic, which we feel today for the first time humanity is getting
into that place.
In the sense, today for the first time, in the history of humanity, more human beings
can think for themselves.
I wanted you to just look back hundred years, five-hundred years, thousand years, how people
were.
A priest, a pandit, a mullah, a guru or a scripture, thought for them.
For the first time, a large number of people are beginning to think for themselves.
I think the time has come for Adiyogi to walk this planet once again because a scientific
approach to human well-being has come.
This is a force, this is a movement to shift humanity from religion to responsibility.
Looking up to looking in.
So here we are, this is the day for you to make the beginning that all solutions for
human life, here and beyond, are within ourselves because all problems on this planet were created
by us and the solutions are obviously, within us.
If you are focused on one aspect, that is an awakening to the life that you are, tonight
is the time to blossom into a new possibility.
