Carnatic Doyen Smt. Sudha Raghunathan to Perform Sahasra Jyothir Linga Archana
Iselin, NJ, October 30, 2006 --(PR.com)-- Legendary Carnatic Music Doyen Sudha Raghunathan to perform at the Sahasra Jyothir Linga Archana conducted by Devipura Peethadhipathy Srila Sri Kompella Subba Rao.
[Sahasra Jyothir Linga Archana is formation and worship of Shiva Linga with 1116 lamps.]
This classical extravaganza will encompass Sapta Thandava Natyam by Smt. Devi Suhir.
The month Karthikam (commenced on 23rd October 2006) is considered to be very sacred and auspicious. It reflects the end of the dark ages, the conquest of the good over evil, light over darkness and the return of unsullied peace, purity and all around effulgent prosperity. The epics state that Lord Vishnu assumed the form of a fish [Mastyavataara] on the evening of Kaarthika Pournami. On the same day, Lord Shiva killed demon Tripura.
Commemorating this auspicious time, Srilasri Kompella Subba Rao, the new Pontiff of Sri Sahasraakshi Raja Rajeswari Peetham (at Devipuram, Visakhapatnam, AP India - www.devipuram.info www.vi1.org www.srimeru.org) would be conducting the Sahasra Jyothir Linga Archana on Saturday, November 18th at India House, 465 Route 27, Iselin, NJ 08830.
As the lights are lit one after another duly explaining the meaning and significance of the ritual, 18th November will surely be a memorable day as you will enjoy a soulful evening of music by Legendary Sudha Raghunathan accompanied by Sri B V Raghavendra Rao on Violin, Sri R. Raman on Muhursing and Sri Neyveli Skanda Subramanian on Mridangam.
All are very cordially invited to this lifetime opportunity
About the Devipuram:
Devipuram is near Anakapalle north of Visakhapatnam (Vzag) in Andhra Pradesh India. It is like a jewel resting in the bosom of green hills all round. Crystal clear waters come from a bore well, checked for purity and found to be like mineral water. Kamakhya Peetham and Sivalayam are on the hill nearby. Devi inspired a scientist to leave his job to build this unique Sri Chakra temple in the world. The Divine Mother is inspiring him now to build a center of learning called Soundarya Lahari around the existing structure, having four acres of built-up area. It will attract talented devotees, and invoke their grace to promote abundance, beauty, harmony, peace, and wisdom all over the world.
Devipuram's focus is a 3 storeyed building 108'x108'x54'. There one can see all Shaktis of Khadgamala life size. Some of them are sky-clad, implying that they have nothing to hide, they are pure shaktis. 1000 eyed Lalita called Sahasrakshi is the presence everywhere. Weekly Sri Chakra Nava-avarana puja, havans, Daily 1000,108, names are recited and the fruits of these actions are offered to every Shakti in a special Khadgamala Arati. Devotees come to sing, dance, pray, and meditate; many come just for fun.
