Maha Shivaratri Celebration
Feb. 28th 2022, beginning 6 PM US East Coast Time
|
Maha Shivaratri is the main annual festival for Lord Shiva. It is considered the most auspicious day of the year for worshipping Maheshwara and meditating for spiritual realization. This day is traditionally celebrated by taking a vow to fast and remain awake all night worshipping the Lord.
We will be fasting here on Sabudana Kitchari (a savory dish of tapioca pearl which is very light and easy to digest). We have provided our recipe from Swamiji's Ayurvedic Cookbook in our expanded newsletter which is received by those who follow on our Patreon. We are planning a grand abhishekam to honor Lord Shiva that night and are driving 200 miles to source special offerings like bilva leaves which are very dear to Lord Shiva. |
We will be conducting an all night prayer vigil which will be broadcast live on the Soma Matha Facebook page. Join us in prayer live on Facebook
