President Dr. Irfaan Ali, on Wednesday, attended the Maha Shivratri celebration at the Cove and John Ashram. In his address to the devotees, the President emphasised the importance of mutual respect as a unifying force in Guyana. He remarked that Maha Shivratri is a time for reflection and introspection regarding one’s faith and spirituality. The observance highlights the significance of understanding, compassion, and efforts toward building a harmonious society. Maha Shivratri, meaning “the Great Night of Shiva,” focuses on themes of overcoming darkness and ignorance and seeking the path of righteousness and devotion. The President also noted that following Maha Shivratri, the observances of Ramadan and Lent will commence. He highlighted that this serves as a reminder of the multicultural nature of our society, where diversity is a fundamental aspect of our identity. He encouraged everyone to use this season to practice the core lessons of their faith, emphasising love, kindness, and the pursuit of righteousness. Additionally, the President commended the ashram for its spiritual, cultural, and social contributions to society. (Office of the President)
