Rudrabhishekam
Mondays & Thursdays – April 2, 6, 9, 13, 16, 20, 23, 27, 30 @ 6:30 PM
The Rudram reminds us of the oneness in the creation and the chanting of Rudram creates a mountain of protection. Mondays are dedicated to worshiping Lord Shiva to gain his grace and protection in removing our inner enemies, progressing on the spiritual path, and uplifting plants, animals and mankind.
Kanth Swami will conduct a Rudrabhishekam, ritual bathing while chanting the Rudram, of the special Pancha Mukha Jade Shiva lingam on Mondays and to the Utsava (small) murti of Shirdi Sai Baba on Thursdays.
Benefits:
- Abhishekam and Rudram chanting purify the mind and eliminate fears and our inner enemies.

Akshaya Tritiya
Sunday – April 19 @ 6:30 PM
Akshaya in Sanskrit means imperishable or eternal and this auspicious day stands as a symbol for abundance and prosperity. It denotes a time when the sun and moon are at the peak of their brilliance, which in turn activates the ida and pingala nadis in the human body enabling the potential to excel. Thus, Akshaya Tritiya is considered auspicious for new beginnings. Traditionally, Goddess Lakshmi is worshiped on this day in gratitude for the abundance in life – both spiritual and material. Kanth Garu will perform a Sri Maha Lakshmi Pooja at 6:30 PM.
Benefits:
- Charitable giving and meaningful projects, investments and spiritual endeavors have heightened benefits.
