Karthika Poornima/Pournamee Celebrations Tuesday, November 27, 2012
Mahanyasam with Ekadasi Rudrabhishekam to
The 6 foot Jyotirlingam carved with 1116 Shivalingams and
Participatory Rudrabhisekham to 108 Sphatika Lingams
Karthigai Deepam is nowadays observed as an extension of Deepavali festival with many families doubling the number of lamps at their home, every day from the day of Deepavali until the day of Karthigai Deepam. It occurs on the day when the moon is in
conjunction with the constellation Karthigai (Pleiades). The constellation which appears as a group of six stars in the shape of a pendant, is considered in mythology as the six
celestial nymphs who reared the six babies at the Saravana tank which later were joined together to form the six faced Muruga.
Karthigai Deepam is celebrated in a special manner at Tiruvannamalai (one of the Pancha bhootha Sthalas). According to the legend, Lord Shiva asked the Lords Brahma
and Vishnu to find the extent of His form, which they were unable to do. Subsequently Lord Shiva took the form of an endless jyothi (pillar of fire) on Arunachala Hill. We invite you to celebrate this auspicious day at
the temple.
We invite 108 Sponsors to perform Rudrabhisekham to their own individual 2 inch Sphatika Shivling. Sponsors will be lead to chant and take home this beautiful Sphatika Shivling. Sphatika Shivling Crystal is the purest gem and a powerful source of light and energy. Sphatika Shivling removes negativity and brings prosperity, happiness and satisfaction to the house.
