The Sadhana app is raising 10,000 prayers for Shiva this Maha Shivratri

Tap into the Universal Consciousness for grace and love for a better world for all

NEW DELHI, Feb. 15, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — The Sadhana app is inviting people to offer 10,000 prayers to Lord Shiva at the auspicious occasion of Maha Shivratri. The app has set up a special hotline to take the prayers directly to Shiva.

“Our founder, Om Swamiji once wrote about the pin-prick effect on his blog and that is what we are trying to create this Shivratri,” explains, Priyanka Anand, CEO, the Vedic Sadhana Foundation.

The law of attraction is based on seeking the attention of the universal body. Just like a tiny puncture by a needle in one’s body is enough to divert the attention, people need to come together to create the same effect for the Universe to look their way.

“By raising these prayers and loving messages to Lord Shiva we are trying to send out the message of gratitude. To thank the divine for their grace and care and in return we hope to receive more of this grace in our lives and those around us, as the Universe always gives back multi-fold,” quips, Priyanka.

The app has set up a special portal here where they are inviting people to leave messages in the ear of Nandi, Shiva’s ever devoted and foremost disciple who is always in a meditative state and therefore always connected to his lord. Those who have already downloaded the app will be able to see Nandi on the app as well, specially there to collect prayers from Lord Shiva’s devotees.

Plus, on the beautiful platform of the Sadhana App, the Vedic Sadhana Foundation is preparing for the grand celebration of Maa Parvati and Lord Shiva’s magnificent wedding on Maha Shivratri. Everyone is invited to the spectacular celebration of the celestial wedding. To celebrate this divine union, the app has been holding ’11 Days of Love’ from February 9th to February 18th.

Users are notified twice a day, with spiritual offerings and pre-wedding ceremonies leading up to the big day. The Kailasha is already adorned, and participants are encouraged to perform rituals in honour of Maa Parvati in the evening in Kadamba Van and to Lord Shiva in the morning in the Kailasha.

Moreover, on the evening of Shivratri, Sadhana App users are invited to begin an 11-day Maha Mrityunjaya Sadhana. This is the recommended minimum time for the Sadhana, however, users are free to continue for as long as they like.

Sadhana as a spiritual activity assists the practitioners in realising their full potential and achieving self-realization. The Parvati and Shiva narrative exemplifies the transformational power of spiritual practice and dedication. Parvati set off on a voyage of extreme spiritual austerities and penance to prove her devotion to the distant ascetic, inspired by her everlasting love for Shiva. On this path of extreme sadhana, meditation (dhyan) and devotion, she ultimately became one with her divine.

Maha Shivratri reminds everyone that by commitment and discipline, one can transform oneself and achieve a connection with the divine. In these modern times, Sadhana App is the go-to place for spiritual transformation through Sadhana.

The Sadhana app has brought to life this sacred place mentioned in many scriptures, where some of the greatest sages and rishis, invoked such deities of the Hindu pantheon as Lord Shiva, Lord Vishnu, and Mother Goddess with the most sublime Vedic rituals.

An innovative brainchild of monk and Internationally acclaimed  author Om Swami, this app is based on more than three decades of his own Sadhana experience, extensive knowledge of Vedic scriptures and technology.

NEW DELHI, April 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — HarperCollins Publishers India is thrilled to announce the publication of The Book of Daily Brilliance: 111 Days to Transformation by Pamela Puja Kirpalani, a practical guide towards a spiritual and psychological transformation.

ORDER HERE

ABOUT THE BOOK

Everyone in the world has good days and bad days. But what if there was a way to unleash one’s radiant self every day? Something simple yet profound—something the reader could reach for every day to centre themselves and remember what really matters.

The Book of Daily Brilliance is designed to speak to the heart and the highest self. Meant to be read over 111 days and covering topics that resonate with all—relationships, self-worth, love, pain, abundance, manifestation, surrender and much more—this daily reader will guide the one through a gentle yet powerful spiritual and psychological journey.

There is no fixed start date. No pressure to be perfect. If a day is skipped or there is a pause for a while, that is okay. All that’s needed to do is come back when it feels right. For those who choose to commit to the 111-day journey, the experience reveals the unfolding of a deeper truth within. 

So, take a deep breath. Open the page to Day 1 and let this be an invitation to return to oneself —one day, one page, one insight at a time.

Pamela Puja Kirpalani says, “One page can really just change the way you show up for your life. I wrote The Book of Daily Brilliance to be something you return to, not just read once — a daily pause that brings clarity, perspective and healing. In a fast-paced world, I believe even a single mindful page a day can create powerful inner psychological shifts. This 111 Daily Reader is my way of helping people reconnect with themselves— and if it helps someone feel more present, more grounded, and more like themselves, then it has done exactly what I hoped it would.”

Sachin Sharma, Publisher, HarperCollins India, says, The Book of Daily Brilliance offers a perfect pause amidst the busyness of life. Readers will appreciate how the book gently guides them through a journey of transformation—without any pressure—one step, one day at a time.”
