Sometime between 2 and 3am during the Great Night of Mahashivaratri 2011 Swami gave an inspiring talk about the meaning of Shivaratri.

Before the talk he did an unusual kirtan chanting session that lasted 30 minutes and electrified us all.

We start this podcast episode thus with a 2.5 minute excerpt from that exhilarating session at the highpoint of Shivaratri 2011 at Shree Peetha Nilaya, Springen, Germany.
