Help us rejoin Shiva and Shakti 

Just before Shivaratri performed Ashtabandhanam rituals to join the Shivalingam to the Yoni. The first Abhishekam was performed for the Lingam on Maha Shivaratri Night. 21 days into our mandala puja rituals to stabilize the energies of the Shivalingam, we noticed that the Ashtabandhana mortar had become dry and cracked. As a result, it will be necessary to begin the entire process again. We have sought the advice of several experts on the materials and will try to reapply the ashtabandhana when the weather gets a little warmer, adding ghee to moisten the mixture.
