Thursdays: February 5, 12, 19 and 26 @ 6.30 PM Rudrabhishekam to utsava murti of Sri Shirdi Sai Baba
Amma Sri Karunamayi has repeatedly spoken about the benefits of chanting the Shri Rudram which honors Lord Shiva as Rudra. The Rudram contains the essence of the 4 vedas and proclaims the oneness in creation. We chant the Rudram on Mondays, which are auspicious to worship Lord Shiva, to gain his grace and protection. Kanth Garu will perform Rudrabhishekam, ritual bathing, on Mondays to the Shiva lingam and the Utsava Shirdi Sai Baba murti on Thursdays. ($27)
Benefits:
- Invokes the blessings of Lord Shiva, the destroyer of our limitations and conditioning
- Cleanses negativity

Maha Shivaratri is different from other Hindu festivals because it invites people to stay awake through the night in quiet reflection.
The spiritual significance is symbolized by the darkest night when physical limits fade, allowing us to feel connected to everything around us. Shiva represents vast emptiness not as nothingness, but as an endless potential for growth and connection.
Observing Maha Shivaratri 2026 offers significant benefits achieved through fasting, all-night meditation (Jagaran), chanting mantras like “Om Namah Shivaya,” and performing Abhishekam (ritual bathing of the Shiva Lingam).
Benefits:
- Spiritual growth & transformation
- Overcoming obstacles
- Clarity
- Connecting with Lord Shiva’s cosmic energy for liberation and freedom from inner enemies
