New Delhi, Feb 17: The grounds of Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium transformed into a sacred celebration zone as urban spiritual platform Via Veda hosted the Biggest Maha Shivratri Bhajan Jamming Night. Marking the Great Night of Shiva and Parvati, the event brought together nearly 10,000 devotees for an immersive evening where ancient devotion met contemporary energy.
Beginning at 6 PM with the divine Ganga Aarti, the stadium atmosphere shifted from a gathering of individuals to a unified spiritual collective. College students and elders alike stood side by side, chanting and celebrating in what became a powerful display of faith, music and cultural pride.
The musical lineup elevated the experience into a full-scale devotional crescendo. Suhas Sawant stirred the audience with a soul-stirring rendition of “Jai Mahakaal,” his powerful vocals resonating across the open-air arena. Gajendra Pratap Singh followed with electrifying performances of “Kailash Mein Niwasi” and “Dulha Bane Hai Baba,” turning the stadium into a sea of raised hands and synchronized chants of “Om Namah Shivaya.” The concept of “Bhajan Clubbing” came alive, dissolving the boundary between stage and audience and creating a shared wave of devotion.
Adding a deeply spiritual dimension to the night, attendees were gifted Vibhuti from the Kashi Vishwanath Temple and 5 Mukhi Siddh Rudraksha from the Pashupatinath Temple — forging a symbolic connection with two of the world’s most revered shrines. Via Veda further extended the experience beyond the venue by distributing Prasad boxes and offering a Rs 100 wallet balance for astrology consultations through its app and web platforms, seamlessly blending tradition with technology.
At the heart of the event was Kajal Bihani, Founder of Via Veda, whose vision of a modern spiritual awakening manifested in the glow of thousands of phone screens capturing moments of devotion. Expressing gratitude, she said,
“To every soul who stood with us under the stars, thank you. You were the heart of the night. Watching thousands of you find yourselves in the chant, I realised this was a moment where our collective energy became a bridge to the divine. My heart is full seeing how beautifully our ancient roots can beat alongside our modern lives.”
As midnight chants echoed into a serene stillness, the event marked more than a celebration it signaled the rise of a new spiritual movement. For a few transformative hours, Delhi embraced its heritage in a format that felt both timeless and contemporary, reaffirming that faith remains a powerful, unifying force in modern India.
