From Sri Lanka – Sivaratri
A message from Jiva in Sri Lanka:
All the members are gathered right now at the Sri Subramuniya Kottam to attend the following program:
The members will perform a homa and one member will do an abhishekam to our Gurudeva's tiruvadi. Then we will all carry a pal koodam to the Shanti Lingam temple. The Lingam there was a gift given by Gurudeva. The homa will continue as will the abhishekam. The temple priests will also perform a puja at the temple. Our morning program will be completed at noon.
In the evening we are visiting Makandayar swami's samadhi and will then head to Sri Sivathondan Nilayam for a Siva puja. Finally we will travel to Keerimala Siva Temple beside the sea and we will spend the whole night there.
-Jiva

Ganapathy Thunnai!
Aum Namasivaya!
Vanakkam to ALL!
Well Planned Programme for the HOLY MAHA SIVRATHIRI Observation! In fact, During my Youth Days, for many years, I used to go to Sivathondan Nilayam , Jaffna, along with my beloved parents & observed THIRUVADDI Pujas & Bhajans, the whole night, along with other sincere Devotees of Yogaswami! Good old Memories!
Once Yogaswami went to the Aashramam of Markandu Swami ,on a MAHA SIVRATHIRI DAY & both of them observed the whole night, on ABSOLUTE MEDITATION only, with ABSOLUTE SILENCE!
Just at “BE STILL”! (“SUMMA IRU”!) GREAT! AUM SHANTHI!

Gifted souls to visit the three sacred places in Sri Lanka on this auspicious day. Will be elevated, if a pilgrimage to the three Ketheeswaram’s, is possible.
Aum Sivaya
