Vigraha Installation and Mahasivaratri Celebrations

Namo Ramana
Ramana Maharshi Centre for Learning celebrated Mahasivaratri throughout the night on the 10th March 2013. It was Vigraha Installation and Sivaratri.
The morning was filled with chants and the Sahasranama puja and homa with prasadam to all devotees and Dr. Sarada speaking on the occasion. 

The evening started with puja and the release of the Cd of songs on Annamalai by Sri Ranganathan. Continued with the story by Hansa, from Bhagavan's family, Sarasa Raghanathan's grand daughter and was followed by songs sung by Aparna, Sarasa akka, Nitya and Hansa. All devotees sang Aksharavarna male, went around the Shrine singing Aksharamanamalai. There was puja for 4 jamas with Abhisheka and Prasadam. There was Sangeetha seva, Nritya Seva, Vaadya Seva, Bhashana Seva, Bhajana Seva and many things offered to Bhagavan who is considered to be Siva himself. We completed the offering with Ashtottara Puja at the end at 6.30 a.m with the rising of the Sun.
