Boston Sri Kalikambal Temple Maha Shivarathri Celebrations

Dear Devotee,

Namaste! Kalau Nama Sankeerthanam Prapthy Ithi Smruthi (As per , the easy way to reach god in Yuga is participating in Nama Sankeerthanam). According to Saiva Saints , not talking about Lord Shiva is equivalent to being never born (Pesadhe Naal Ellam, Piravadhe Naale). By the grace of Omkareswarar and with the blessings of Sri Kalikambal, for the very first time we are going to celebrate the Kotti Vara Shiva Panchakshra Yagya. Please use this unique and rare opportunity to “ Nama Shivaya" (Panchakshari) mantra at the temple in front of Om Kareshwarar 10 million times (1

Kotti) and seek the blessings of Lord Shiva.
