Wishing Everyone a Blessed Ardra Nakshatra
Om Namah Sivaya
Today is our monthly celebration of the Ardra Nakshatra at the Aadheenam. With Siva's star coming into alignment for the day, Nataraja's divine energies can easily be felt as they radiate out from Kadavul's inner sanctum. As is our tradition for this day, the monks are performing an Abhishekam to Nataraja throughout the morning.
"My God is the melter of my heart of love. Let all adore my God, the Lord of primal love, first of beings, my Siva, who again and again melts my heart. May He render me His love in foremost measure! Praise Him but once, the Pure and Holy One, and He will be your escort to heaven. He, Lord Siva, decked in honeyed konrai blooms, sits enthroned in my love, steadfast and free."
Tirumantiram 274-275
"That which is neither internal consciousness nor external consciousness nor both together, which does not consist solely in compact consciousness, which is neither conscious nor unconscious, which is invisible, unapproachable, impalpable, indefinable, unthinkable, unnameable, whose very essence consists of the experience of its own self, which absorbs all diversity, is tranquil and benign, without a second, which is what they call the fourth state--that is the Atman. This it is which should be known."
Atharva Veda
