Mahāśivarātri Bhajan & Kīrtan is a night of sacred music and chanting dedicated to Lord Śiva. Through heartfelt bhajans and kīrtans, devotees immerse themselves in devotion, surrender, and spiritual upliftment.
The program schedule is as follows
Mahāśivarātri – Ekādaśa Laghu Rudrābhiṣekam
Ekādaśa Laghu Rudrābhiṣekam is a powerful Vedic worship of Lord Śiva, especially auspicious on Mahāśivarātri, the night when Śiva tattva is at its highest. In this sacred puja, 11 Ritviks chant Śrī Rudram, invoking the Ekādaśa Rudra forms.
During the abhiṣekam, 11 different sacred ingredients are offered to Lord Śiva, and Rudram is chanted 121 times (11 × 11), generating intense spiritual vibrations.
This divine worship bestows karma śuddhi, removal of obstacles, health, peace, prosperity, and spiritual upliftment for individuals, families, and Loka Kalyāṇam. Participating in this puja on Mahāśivarātri brings immense Śiva anugraha and lasting blessings.
