It was a Friday night in March 2000.
I was invited to a Seminar to see a spiritual teacher. Having studied with spiritual teachers for about 8 years already, this was not new to me.
The Seminar room was inside a posh Park Avenue hotel in Manhattan, NYC. We were asked to rise from our seats when the Master entered. In walked Dr. Pillai.
I recall being surprised by this look…the long white beard, long hair, brown skin, and a gentle face. Not uncommon for most spiritual teachers, but my prior teacher was a 6-foot tall, blonde American man who wore a business suit to our meditation seminars.
Dr. Pillai struck me as a man who held enormous amounts of love in his heart. After some mind-blowing meditations, the room glowing gold and a feeling of euphoria filling the air, we returned from the break. He said he was holding a very special event the next day that was only open to his current students.
However, during the break, he received a message (from the divine) that he should invite us all to this event. He explained that this would be one of the most powerful nights of the year. It is called Sivaratri, the Night of Siva (pronounced Shiva).
It is considered the single most powerful time of the year for the Hindu archetype Lord Siva to remove your karma and remove your sins that cause suffering in this life. I felt I could not miss out on this opportunity!
After spending just a few hours in the presence of Dr. Pillai, I signed up for the intensive that started 10 AM the next morning and ended at 4 AM the following morning. Considering the long day of teachings and meditation, he said that the most important time was the moment of midnight. This was really all we needed, this one minute of midnight.
Needless to say, the following day was amazing. It was filled with teachings and the experience of Dr. Pillai’s intense guided meditations. As promised, at the very minute of midnight, we poured milk over a Siva Lingam and chanted NAMASHIVAYA over and over.
A sense of renewed peace and relief washed over me. A sense of community and spiritual excitement was enjoyed by the group.
Dr. Pillai didn’t say much after that, but we continued to keep vigil for several more hours. It was one of the most memorable and transformational nights of my life. I can honestly say that after this night I never looked back. I have been studying the teachings of Dr. Pillai ever since, and every day is an experiment in transformation and growth.
It is not often that Dr. Pillai makes himself personally available during Sivaratri. However, this year (thanks to web technology) he will broadcast a global teaching and Siva Lingam ritual to all to view.
Let this be your invitation, on behalf of Dr. Pillai, to spend the Great Night of Siva (March 2-3, IST) in the most profound and powerful way possible.
Jaya
