Maha Shivaratri Celebrations, Mysore, 09 - 12 Mar 2002
.JPG)
A new Temple is built to the Sachchidanandeshwara Shiva Lingam which was earlier in the universal prayer hall. The Lingam brought to Ashrama by Pujya Sri Swamiji in mid - sixties from Ratnapuri village was installed in the then Chapparam (thatched hut). When the existing prayer hall was built in 1984, it was reinstalled in the same place (in a corner on the Puja Platform - Katte ). Sri Swamiji decided recently that a separate temple should be built for this Shiva Lingam and a temple was built. The rituals connected with this reinstallation commenced on the morning of 9th March. The installation and Kumbhabhishekam of this Sachchidanandeswara Shiva Lingam will happen on the auspicious Shivaratri day (12th March 2002 ) at 07 AM 08 minutes.
