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).Â

Akshaya Tritiya
Tuesday, April 29, at 6:30 PM
Akshaya in Sanskrit means imperishable or eternal and this auspicious day stands as a symbol for abundance and prosperity. It marks several historic events such as the birth of Lord Parashurama, when the Ganges flowed onto earth, and Sudama blessing by Lord Krishna, and Draupadi’s blessing with the akshaya patra. It also denotes a time when the sun and moon are at the peak of their brilliance, which inturn activates the ida and pingala nadis in the human body enabling the potential to excel. Kanth Garu will perform a Sri Maha Lakshmi Pooja at 6:30 PM.  Benefits: Akshaya Tritiya is considered auspicious for new beginnings; spiritual practices on this day bring lasting blessings and spiritual growth.
