Announcement Vedic Protective Puja for Shivaratri. February 15, 11:00–12:00 Moscow time, 2026

[2909]

About 13 minutes before the Puja began, I decided to take part in it. Immediately, my mind began producing doubts: you won’t make it, it will be chaos again—and then a bottle of nail polish fell from my hands. It didn’t break completely; the bottom remained very smooth, but there were many shards on the floor. In any case, during those few minutes I managed to gather some things, cut the fruit, wipe the table, get a napkin and take out the photo, and at exactly 11 I began reciting the mantra. It was something else! Important realizations came during the Puja and mantra recitation. Thank you, Lord! Thank you, OM Shanti!
OM Namah Shivaya!

I am grateful to OM Shanti for the Puja, for the Celebration!
It was a day off, the whole family was at home—noise and commotion—and unexpectedly, everyone scattered to attend to their own affairs just in time for the Puja.
I was in an elevated state and turned to Shiva with a request; the mantra sounded easy and peaceful.
After the Puja, I felt as I do in the morning. We are four hours apart, and there was lightness and peace—as though everything was already all right. I will try to stay awake tonight for as long as I can.

Shiva was anointed with five elements:

1. Milk
2. Honey
3. Clarified butter, ghee
4. Water from the Ganges
5. Flowers

It can be seen in the video.

Shiva is closely associated with the number 5 (pancha).

His mantra is called the Shiva Panchakshara.
“Na-Ma-Shi-Va-Ya” (“ॐ नमः शिवाय”)

How beautiful! Thank you!
Today I was also able to sit alone for a whole hour, in silence, reciting the mantra and praying. That hour was filled with such intense vibration! Everything around me came to a standstill and listened.

Enormous gratitude, Teacher! The Puja was wonderful; I felt the vibrations and recited Shiva’s mantra. The night of Mahashivaratri lies ahead, and I will continue honoring Mahadeva! OM NAMAH SHIVAYA!

May the one who leads others toward Silence be supported by Truth. With deep gratitude, love, and tenderness—for your presence, the purity of your service, and the carefully prepared space. A very beautiful MahaShivaRatri Puja.

OM Shanti, my heartfelt thanks to you for conducting the Puja!
(I also held a small Puja at home.)
From the video, it is clear that Shiva has been “anointed” in all His Fullness, in the very best way!
A snow-white Puja, very Tender, very Intimate, and Divinely Beautiful!
And, as always with the video, it creates the feeling of being present at the Puja!
I thank You, Higher Powers, and Shiva the All-Benevolent!
OM Namah Shivaya!

OM Shanti, thank you for the Puja on such a wonderful holiday—Mahashivaratri !

During it, I lit candles, made a small offering, and then recited a mantra to Lord Shiva.
The hour flew by unnoticed. A festive, elevated mood.

I just watched the video—it was a very beautiful, solemn Puja
The white, gentle tones and deeply moving audio accompaniment all create a feeling of a majestic celebration
Thank you!

OM Namah Shivaya!

Health and well-being to everyone!
Thank you for conducting the puja, OM Shanti!
For the first time, I was able to participate alongside you. I read and listened to the mantra, lit two candles, and placed a plate with cords for the whole family in the middle.
I was a little nervous, but then I relaxed and managed to let go
Wishing everyone a wonderful night and the fulfillment of your wishes
Om Namah Shivaya

Namaste, everyone!
Infinite gratitude and a deep bow, OM Shanti, for conducting the Vedic Protective Puja on Shivaratri
Miraculously, all the circumstances came together, so I was able to participate at the actual time of the Puja, although initially it did not seem possible. I am very happy and grateful to the Higher Powers, OM Shanti
According to local time, the Puja coincided precisely with sunset and the onset of twilight,
while I greeted the dawn under the благословенные energies of watching the video of the Puja. It undoubtedly evokes an amazing feeling of communion with the Divine, and that is priceless—even if only briefly, to see and touch the processes of the sacred Mystery with one’s soul. It is Divinely Beautiful!
Below I am attaching a photo of my altar.

Thank you for the video, dear OM Shanti! It is so amazing to observe this intimate sacred ritual. And so many flowers—beautiful white roses and orchids; it is truly mesmerizing.
The way milk and honey slowly flow over the statuette. I had never seen anything like it before. I only saw milk being poured and flower petals being tossed in the film "Mahabharata." It is so wonderful! 🪷

Namaste everyone! I’m writing this review a little late, based on my notes made immediately after the Puja. I prepared the space and began reciting the mantras in advance, as Om Shanti recommended. On the day of the Puja, I began to feel it about 20 minutes beforehand. During the Puja, this feeling of intense involvement continued throughout the entire ceremony. Waves of energy came over me—the sensation of warmth, increasing heat, and goosebumps—and then subsided slightly. I recited the mantras. Om Shanti’s video is very beautiful. Every time, I notice how different flowers and decorations have been selected; thank you. Special thanks for the video of anointing Shiva—such blessed feelings of participation
