VISHU, TAMIL & TULU NEW YEAR DAYWednesday, April 13, 2016 (Dhurmukhi Nama Samvatsara)
Vishu signifies the entry of sun into Mesha Raasi and it is believed to bring good luck if one views auspicious things the first thing in the morning. Hence on this day in Kerala, homes are beautifully decorated and auspicious items are kept at the family altar. Tamil and Tulu New year are celebrated by worshiping the family deities, preparation of sweets and other delicacies
and the reading of the Panchangam (Religious Almanac). The panchangam reading provides a list of all good and auspicious things as well as any adverse type of events that are likely to occur that year due to the transitory movements of planets as well as due to the presiding deity for the year. It is believed that listening to the panchangam reading will magnify the predicted good effects and mitigate the effect of adverse events. A unique feature of the celebration is the ARCHANA for all deities of our temple in sequence starting from 5:30 PM. 9:00 am Vishu Kani, Mahaganapathi Homam 10:00 am Abhishekam to Siva, Anantapadmanabha, & Ayyappa Puja 10:30 am Abhishekam to Ganesha 5:30 pm Starting time for Archana for all deities (Sarva Devata Archana) 7:30 pm Panchanga Patanam & Prasadam Distribution Sponsorship: Ayyappa Puja or one Abhishekam $25 Sarva Devata Archana $35

Vasantha NavarathriThursday, April 7 to Friday, April 15, 2016
Navaratris are important festival days for Devi (the Divine Mother). The Goddess who appears in the fierce (Ugram) form (to destroy our sins) in autumn, appears in a peaceful and benevolent form in the spring. Hence by worshiping Her during the two Navaratris one destroys one’s sins and begets peace and prosperity.

Sri Siva Vishnu Temple
UGADI DAY (Durmukhi Nama Samvatsara)Thursday, April 7, 2016 (The Temple will be open all day from 9 am to 9 pm)
Ugadi marks the beginning of a New Year for several Hindu communities including Kannada, Telugu and Marathi communities. Ugadi is based on the lunar calendar and hence its occurrence may vary from year to year compared to the solar calendar. It is common to listen to the reading of the Panchangam that day so that one may mitigate the negative results and increase the prosperity that may be in store for the year ahead. It is also a tradition in Andhra Pradesh to eat a preparation that is made of sweet, sour, bitter, and hot ingredients to signify that life is a mixture of good and bad times and that one must face them with equanimity.
