A New Mala for the Spatika Lingam
January 23, 2022Aum Namah Sivaya
On the event of this month's celebration of the Ardra Nakshatra, a beautiful, handmade gift was placed at Siva's feet. An anonymous bhaktar spend many hours producing this masterpiece. Its future is to rest upon Iraivan Temple's Spatika Lingam. The mala is made of our large, Kauai-grown rudrakshas interspersed with rose quartz crystals. In these photos you can see it as Deva Seyon brought it into the Media Studio for our monks to see. In the last photo you can see it on the Lingam, as it was placed there during Ardra.
The mala is placed on the table in the Media Studio so we can all admire its majesty
The rose quartz crystals are fairly substantial in their own right
It has ten strands, just as Siva has ten matted locks flying from his head as dances
Aum Namah Sivaya
