Krittika Deepa
The monks of Kauai Aadheenam wish everyone a blessed Krittika Deepa! As stated in Dancing With Siva, "On Krittika Dipa, the Krittika nakshatra in November-December, we honor--with oil lamps everywhere, village bonfires and special temple arati--God Siva as an infinite pillar of light."
If you don't find yourself at a temple or religious event tonight, you can at least light yourself an oil lamp or two and connect with Siva's radiant darshan.
"Now have I realized the path of Hara. In the past I sought Him in narrow paths and strayed. Lo! All the while He stood before me like a beacon light in firmament, guiding my voyage across the sea of my soul's longing. The path of Siva is the proven path. It led them to Hara. It is the royal path that renowned souls have walked, the path divine that took the devout to cosmic space. That path do seek, enter and persevere. Still your wandering thoughts, chant the sacred syllable Si and so persevere on the path of Hara. You shall envision primal light effulgent."
