SAMADHI WEEK FESTIVAL & SHIVARATRI
14th - 19th February, 2026
Every year from 14th to 19th February, we celebrate the week of Yoga Samadhi. These dates are fixed dates and are not changeable. These days are devoted to the Teaching of Yoga and to the attainment of privileged states of yoga samadhi. We honour the nectar of yoga in the form of bhakti yoga, jnana yoga and kriya yoga. We pay homage to the Jewel of Divinity in the form of the Maha Deva, the Maha Teacher of Yoga. We pay homage to Kriyaji, Mahavatar Babaji, Haidhakan Baba, Herekhan Baba, Patanjali and to the Mighty I AM Presence of God.
This yoga festival is like a little Kumbha Mela (an urn filled with the Nectar of Immortality) where all enlightened yogis gather in the name of Yoga. Usually, the location of the festival is chosen solely on the position of the sun, moon and Jupiter according to Hindu astrology. However, we wish to continue celebrating this at Nithya Nilayam where Kriyaji has continued to feed on the nectar of divinity and yoga showing us how to best purify our sins and be liberated from the illusions of the world. In ancient times, it was said that an urn held the Nectar of immortality and that this divine liquid was poured from the heavens in certain places on Earth. This reminds us again of this event’s connection to the astrological signs in the heavens - in this case the sign of Aquarius, where an immortal angel holds the Urn with the divine nectar pouring from the heavens. Usually, Gods are drawn naturally to such places to rejoice in the name of Yoga (Union with God).
It is maybe only a coincidence but it is extraordinary to witness how naturally a state of yoga is produced, attained and enhanced during certain astrological times. Shivaratri is celebrated during such a time, and it varies as to which month it falls on following vedic astrology. Shivaratri is a very special time where the energy of Shiva allows many to enter special states of yoga, especially yama, niyama, dharana and samadhi.
Kriyaji teaches us how to embark on the path of Yoga in the name of purity, adoration and truth. As many other yogis have mentioned, no yoga can be entered without first integrating basic human nature. Haidhakan Babaji reminded us of the three main basic elements to live in a state of contentment and harmony – Truth, Simplicity and Love.
Kriyaji continues this primary and essential teaching of basic natural emotional behaviour. From here one can then expand into a more evolved state of Yoga.
