SOORA SAMHARAM  Saturday, November 9, 2024
6:00 PM – Soora Samharam 6:45 PM – Murugan Thirukkalyanam Legend has it that Surapadman, a demon, took over the Indra Logam from Indira Devan and his Deva Ganas by force. Lord Indra prayed to Lord Shiva who created Lord Murugan to defeat Surapadman and bring the heavenly Indira Logam back to the Devas. Lord Murugan accomplished the objective set forth with his “Vel”(weapon) and his divine act is recorded as Soora Samharam (vanquishing of the demon) in the scriptures. The day after Soora Samharam is celebrated as ‘Murugan Thirukkalyanam’ which is the day when the divine marriage ceremony of Lord Murugan and Devayani (daughter of Indira Devan) took place. Let’s celebrate Soora Samharam and Murugan Thirukkalyanam and receive the blessings from Lord Murugan and his consorts, Valli and Devayani. |
| LORD SHIVA ANNA ABHISHEKAM
Saturday, November 16, 2024 This ritual is performed on a Poornima day in the Tamil month of Aippasi to commemorate Lord Shiva. In the fourth mantra of Sri Rudram, Lord Shiva is celebrated and saluted as: Annaanaam Pataye Namah: (Annaanaam Pati – Lord of all foods). Traditionally, the Shiva temples in south India perform this abhishekam by covering the entire Lingam with cooked rice, which later is offered to the devotees as Maha Prasadam. |

LORD SHIVA SHANKHABHISHEKAM
Monday, November 25, 2024 Shankhabhishekam, or Conch Shell Abhishekam, has been practiced for many centuries for obtaining incredible material and spiritual blessings. The conch shell symbolizes the mind and the fluid water taken in it, the thoughts. The abhishekam with the conch shell underlines the significance of keeping one’s mind clear and thoughts pure, and enables us to be watchful of our thoughts, so that connecting with the divine happens naturally. Om Shivaya Namah! |
