MONTHLY EVENTS
Amavasya and Pournami days
Amavasya and Purnima Offerings
There is a natural upsurge of energies in the human body on the days of Amavasya (new moon) and Purnima (full moon). As a result, they are held as days of significance for the spiritual seeker. On these two days, one can have the rare privilege and honor of personally making an offering of ksheera (milk) or jala(water) upon the Dhyanalinga. Ksheera is offered from 6am to 12:30pm and Jala from 12:30pm to 8pm.
Linga Bhairavi - Pournami Abhishekam & Maha Arati
Every Pournami an elaborate Abhishekam is celebrated with a vibrant offering of dance and music in the magnificent Pournami Pooja. One has the opportunity to offer this sacred Pournami Abhishekam for the good health, success, prosperity and overall wellbeing of one's family.
The Pooja is followed by a grand procession of the Linga Bhairavi Utsavamurti (a consecrated form of Devi). Devi embarks on a majestic journey to the Dhyanalinga. Here, a powerful Maha Arati is offered as well as a spectacular fire dance. Don't miss the chance to be part of this unforgettable event to soak in Devi's grace.
Mahalaya Amavasya
Of all the Amavasyas, the most powerful is the Mahalaya Amavasya. This day marks the beginning of Devi Pada (a certain phase of the year considered favorable to access the Devi). The annual Kalabhairava Shanti process is conducted during the midnight sandhya, for the wellbeing of one's deceased ancestors and relatives.
Purnima Pooja
Every Purnima is celebrated at Linga Bhairavi with an elaborate abhishekam and a vibrant offering of music and dance. Devi takes on different forms during the pooja, thereby creating an explosion of energy with songs extoling Devi at her fullest glory. Devi remains in flaming crimson for the next 24 hours bestowing infinite grace to her devotees.
One can participate in the abhishekam by either offering the main abhishekam as a family, or by being a part of the pooja. Offering the Purnima Abhishekam is particularly beneficial for the overall wellbeing of the family, good health, success, and prosperity. In a sacred ambience, participants are offered tools to connect with Devi to experience her energies. On this powerful night, the temple stays open till 12:30 am for devotees.
Maha Arati
Every Purnima and during other major festivals, a grand procession of the Linga Bhairavi Utsavamurti (a consecrated form of Devi) happens in the Dhyanalinga Parikrama.
Devi begins her majestic walk with an offering to Trimurthi. She then progresses in all splendor, lit by the rising full moon and heralded by conches, trumpets and resounding drumbeats. Men decked as traditional warriors, with faces reflecting the flickering torch flames, carry red flags and fire poles and are led by a group performing Kalaripayattu – the ancient Indian martial arts.
