Bhagwan Shiva abhishekham will be performed at the temple every day from 9.30 am to 10.15 am during Shravan month and also every Monday from 30th July 2018 until 26th August 2018, same time in the morning and from 6.45 pm to 7.30 pm in the evening Please come and join with your fellow devotees and earn a lot of Punya. If any devotee wants to inquire any more information, feel free by replying this e mail or Pandit ji number 07999267068. Regards Sujatha Thaladi Dr.Poonam Singhal , PhD Secretary, India Centre Chair, India Centre Please see below for more details The month of Shravan is the fifth month of the Hindu calender beginning from Chaitra, and is the most auspicious month of the Chaturmas. On Purnima or fullmoon day, or during the course of the month the star 'Shravan' rules the sky, hence the month is called Shravan. This month is spread out with innumerably religious festivals and ceremonies and almost all the days of this month are auspicious. Shravan is considered the holiest month of the year. Each monday of this month, known as Shravana Somvar, is a special day in Shiva temples where the dharanatra hangs over the linga or the idol to bathe it with holy water, day and night. Devotees pile the linga high with Bel leaves and flowers and fast till sunset. The nandadeep (24 hour lamp) burns steadily in the temples. Lord Shiva and Shravan Mas The legend says that when the churning of oceans - Samudra Manthan - took place in the month of Shravan, fourteen different types of rubies came out. Thirteen of these were distributed amongst the demons, except Halahal (poison). Lord Shiva drank the Halahal and stored it in his throat. Hence the name Neelkantha (meaning blue throat) is attributed to Shiva. To reduce the strong effect of poison, Lord Shiva wore the crescent moon on his head. All the Gods, thereafter started offering the Ganges water to Lord Shiva to make lessen the effect of poison. Since, this happened in the month of Shravana, since then the Shiva devotees offer the Ganges water in this month. It is considered highly auspicious to wear a rudraksha in Shravan month. As, Mondays or Somvars of Shravan month are specially observed with austerity. All Mondays are devoted to the worship of Shiva as this day is sacred to Lord Shiva. No other Mondays of other months are so greatly honoured. The belief is that in Shravan month, offering milk to Lord Shiva earns a lot of punya. Things to do during Shravan month • Wear Rudraksh, and also use a Rudraksh mala for Japa. • Offer Lord Shiva Bhibhuti and place some on your forehead. • Make offerings of Bel leaves, Panchamrut (milk, yoghurt, clarified butter, honey and jaggery) on Shiva Ling. • Recite Shiv Chalisa and Aarti. • Chant Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra. • Fasting on Mondays. Girls who fast on all Mondays of Shravan get a good husband
