12th December 2024- Celebrating the eternal triumph of light over darkness, the sacred festival of Karthigai Maha Deepam holds profound spiritual significance for millions of devotees. Sri Mandir, India’s largest devotional platform, proudly announces a special initiative for devotees to partake in the Karthigai Maha Deepam LIVE Darshan Special on Friday, December 13, 2024. This sacred event, timed with the auspicious Karthigai Maha Deepam Tithi, allows devotees to virtually witness the Arunachala Teerth Shiva Parvati Kalyanam, Maha Rudra Homa, and the LIVE Darshan of the Arunachaleshwara Deepam from the holy town of Tiruvannamalai, Tamil Nadu.
Karthigai Maha Deepam, a festival symbolizing divine light, is celebrated across South India with unmatched fervor. The event culminates at the Arunachaleswarar Temple, where the grand lighting of the Maha Deepam atop the sacred Arunachalam hill draws millions of devotees each year. Rooted in the legend of Lord Shiva’s manifestation as a Jyotirlinga (fire pillar), the festival embodies the triumph of light over darkness and offers a pathway to inner illumination and liberation from the karmic cycle.
Sri Mandir’s initiative bridges tradition and technology, enabling devotees worldwide to join this spiritual journey. The live Darshan Special includes the performance of the Maha Rudra Homa, believed to dispel negativity and attract prosperity, and the Arunachala Teerth Shiva Parvati Kalyanam, a sacred ritual that invokes divine blessings for peace and wisdom. Participants can meditate, chant mantras, or recite stotras alongside the rituals, fostering a deeper connection with Lord Shiva.
