An interesting word. It appears around midway through the Rudra
Adhyaya (or Rudrapooja as we know it), during the Namakam part.
Sadyojathaha literally means "born in this moment" and of course it is
another apt name for Shiva.
The Divine principle is ever fresh, ever new. Creation is spontaneous,
whimsical, secretive, meticulous and infinitely subtle. A mystery, I
reiterate, not to be unravelled but rather to revel in as we find
ourselves, floating, motionless, dissolving in an oceanic flux of pure
energy.
This is really what Shivratri is about. A cosmic conjunction when that
principle is close enough to be palpable to any person who meditates
on it with a clear conscience :)
For us sadhaks it is a day (night) of comfort, of stillness, of
dissolution and a reaffirmation of that deep, deep sense of
contentment and tranquility that has seeped inexorably into our lives
since we first experienced the Sudarshan Kriya.
And for the first time, Guruji will celebrate Shivratri in Kolkata,
the abode of Shakti, the complement of Shiva. To me this symbolizes
the union of cosmic energy with universal consciousness, and we are
truly blessed to be witness to such pathbreaking events in spiritualism.
All roads lead to Kolkata's Rabindra Sarobar stadium at 6pm onwards on
12th Feb. Sanskar TV does have a live telecast from 7:30 onwards,
and for the webcast please go to http://vvmvp.org/National/ShivaratriWebCast.aspx
Om Namah Shivaya!
