“Happy Mahashivratri,” to all who are celebrating! Many blessings to everyone, and especially those celebrating the Festival of Ayyám-i-Há, Carnival, and Maha Kumbh Mela!
Peace, ease, and generosity to all, throughout this “Season for Nonviolence” and all other seasons!
“A genuine success will happen only when there is Grace. I want you to do a simple process as a part of this Mahashivratri. Three things…This night, let it not be just one night of exuberance. Let this, in some way, work as a turning point for you to move towards your own Awakening.”
“… every one of you can strive to become a wonderful human being and nobody can deny that to you. So, I want you to do a simple process as a part of this Mahashivratri: Write down three things. Write down three things when you go home, whatever you think makes a human being into a wonderful human being – just three things – and make it a reality in your life.”
— Sadhguru, founder of Isha Foundation

If you are thinking about suicide, worried about a friend or loved one, or would like emotional support, you can dial 988 (in the US) or call 1-800-273-TALK (8255)for the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. You can also call this TALK line if you are struggling with addiction or involved in an abusive relationship. The Lifeline network is free, confidential, and available to all 24/7. YOU CAN TALK ABOUT ANYTHING.
White Flag is a new app, which I have not yet researched, but which may be helpful if you need peer-to-peer (non-professional) support.
