| The annual Shivaratri festival is a unique time when the Vedic rituals for Shiva are most effective and his blessings and protection are more easily received. These are the most elabortate and comprehensive yagyas that we perform every year. As with all yagyas and mantras, maximizing the number of repetitions is the key to the power and success of the yagya.
From February 18th to March 8th, 12 of our best priests will perform two Maha Rudra Yagyas featuring 1,331 recitations each of the Sri Rudram text from Yajur Veda over the entire 20 day period, for a total of 2,662 repetitions of this very powerful mantra. We conclude with an all night program in Kanchipuram, Pune and Varanasi on 3/8 - Shivaratri. At sunrise on the 19th we have a soothing Ganga Yagya in Varanasi.
Since this is our 25th anniversary, it marks the completion of 50 repetitions (2 per year) of the Maha Rudra ritual which is 4 1/2 Ati Rudra yagya rituals! This is a rare accomplishment.
Participating in this program brings the Sri Rudra yagya benefits to you - removal of obstacles, a smoother life experience, prosperity, family harmony, good health, protection, and significant progress towards enlightenment and liberation.
The complete 20 Day Yagya Program includes:
-Every morning 11 repetitions of Sri Rudram with Abishekam plus Navagraha, Nakshatra, Godess, Health and other deities at Puja.net in Kanchipuram performed by 12 priests
-Every evening 11 repetitions of Sri Rudram with Abishekam in our Kanchipuram Temple performed by 12 priests
