    KARTHIKA MASAM
     

    Karthika Masa is a very special period with great significance attached to the worship of the Divine. It also in some ways emphasizes

    on the synchronization of nature and mankind. Traditionally worship of Shiva and Vishnu are considered very auspicious in this month. Bathing in holy rivers in pre-dawn hours, worship of Naga Devata, lighting diyas, especially on full moon day,  vana bhojanam, are all prescribed customs followed during this month. 

    Worshipping Shiva with Bilva patra and Vishnu with Tulasi patra, is again, auspicious. Performing Rudrabishekam at home or at the temple during this month very propitious. To schedule an Ekadasa Rudrabishekam or Ekavara Rudrabishekam at your home please visit RUDRA

    To register for any or all of the below-listed pujas at the temple, visit KARTHIKA MASA.

    7:30 PM               Maha Deeparadanai

    Every year at the temple, we have performed Laghu Rudrabishekam during Karthika Masa. This year in addition to laugh Rudrabishekam we will perform Laksha Bilva Archana, while chanting Shiva Sahasranama, the 1000 names of Lord Shiva. Worshipping Shiva and Vishnu during this month brings many blessings to families. Rudra Namakkam and Chamakkam are very special to the worship of Shiva. Similarly offering Bilva patra is also very special to His worship. It is believed that Parvati Devi relies in the Bilva partra.

    According to the Skanda Purana, the Bel tree grew from the sweat droplets of Parvati which fell on the Mandrachal mountain. From there the Bel tree emerged. Hence, it is believed that the Goddess resides in this tree in all Her forms. She resides as Girija in the roots of the tree, as Maheshwari in its trunk, as Dakshayani in its branches, Parvati in its leaves, Katyayani in its fruit and as Gauri in its flowers. Therefore as Parvati resides in Her various forms in this tree, Shiva is extremely fond of its leaves.
    It is a symbol of Shiva. Bilva Patras are offered as trifoliate leaves. One bilva leaf if equivalent to offering a 1000 lotuses, says the Siva Purana.
    बिल्वाणांदर्शनंपुण्यंस्पर्शनंपापनाशनं

    Bilvanam darshanam punyam sparshanam papa nashanam
    Aghora papa samharam eka bilvam shivarpanam
    To have your name included in the sankalpam, for this very rare event, please register at BILVARCHANA.
    If you would like to share the cost of the bilva Patras offered to Lord Shiva, pay at BILVA PATRA.
    Sri Shiva Sahasranama in different languages is available here for download in  TELUGU, ENGLISH, SANSKRIT, KANNADA, TAMIL.

    EKADASA RUDRA HOMAM
    (Homa Kunda)
     


     
    Ekadasa Rudra Homam will be performed int the Homa Kunda on Sunday morning. Rudra namakkam will be repeated eleven times while offerings are made into the holy fire. To have your name included in the sankalpam visit RUDRA HOMAM.
    Of the three jobs of creation, protection and dissolution that form the circle of life, Lord Shiva is the destroyer of the world. In a sense, He is the Lord of death, of the body and in the true sense, of the ego. He destroys the thought of ‘I’ within the human mind. When that ego is destroyed, the Self is realized as one with the Supreme. Lord Shiva reveals this Ultimate truth to His true devotee.
    The Hymn Sri Rudram is very dear to Lord Shiva. It states His presence in all things in the Universe, in every space on land, air and water. In everything that is good and bad, small and big, beautiful and ugly.
    vidyāsu śrutirutkṛṣṭā rudraikādaśinī śrutau 
    tatra pañcākṣarī tasyaṁ śiva ityakṣaradvayam 
    ~ Among the sources of learning, Vedas are Supreme; among the Vedas, Rudra Ekadasini is Supreme; in the Rudram the Panchaksari mantra ‘NamaShivaya’ is Supreme; in the Panchakshari, the two letters ‘Shiva’ stands Supreme.
    After chanting Sri Rudram, which identifies Lord Shiva in everything, it is practice to chant the Chamkam. In the Chamakam, the devotee asks to be blessed with everything material. The hymn seeks to show the path to the Divine, through the fulfillment of worldly pleasures.
    Worshipping Lord Shiva during Karhtika Masa, while chanting Sri Rudram will fulfill any and all prayers of the devotee who surrenders whole heartedly, body, mind and soul to Him.
