Join us for a very special 7-Day Maha Shivaratri and Shani Anusthan,
12 JyotirLing Puja, and Celebration!
|
This Anusthan is occuring in a particularly rare time within the world.
As Sri Svami Purnaji just recently stated, "During this time (Shivaratri) it is important to connect to Shani Dev and Shiva. Astrologically speaking, this specific time occurs only once every 56 years. All of the time used in practice is doubled in effect. Both Shani and Shiva should be worshipped through this Anusthan." |
To follow Sri Svamiji's advice, during these 7 days of the anusthan we will be focusing intensely on worshipping Lord Shiva and Shani Dev (Saturn).
One such rare process that will be within this particular anusthan is worshipping the 12 JyotirLings.
There are 12 JyotirLings in India that represent 12 different manifestations of Shiva, or the Divine Consciousness of Infinite Goodness. Each JyotirLing contains within itself a very different and unique set of blessings. Pilgrimages to these sacred sites are considered to be most auspicious and granting eternal blessings for all that come into contact with them. It is our intention to connect with all of them, one by one and collectively.
On the last night of the Anusthan we will be holding a Maha Shivaratri Celebration (just for anusthan participants) where we will invoke the blessings of the 12 JyotirLings. We will do puja for each one so that we may all come into contact with all of their Divine Energies and Blessings.
During the Anusthan we will connect to Shiva through various practices, some which will be required (at a minimum) although more may be done in participation with the anusthan. We will also be doing a puja for Shani Dev to connect with its Protective and Guiding Force.
Basic Requirements for Anusthan:
108 Om Namah Shivaya x 2 (morning and evening)
Sattvic Diet
Fasting from at least 1 desire every day (iphone, facebook, instagram, tv, news, radio, music, sugar, etc). Although, you may fast from all desires for 7 days if you wish.
Fasting from food on Maha Shivaratri Day
STREAMING
As usual, everything will be streamed via www.Zoom.us or able to be attended in-person when offered that way.
