Kala-Ashtami-Celebration
in Omkarananda Ashram
Himalayas
19th November 2008
Kala-Ashtami
is the most auspicious day dedicated to Lord Kala'bhairava - a
manifestation of Lord Shiva. Kalabhairava is the God of Time.
Kala-Ashtami is one among the celebrations, which is celebrated in
Omkarananda Ashram Himalayas with great devotion. 'Mandap
Sthapana' of Lord Kalabhairava along with Ganas (associates) and
Mahakala-Bhairava Pooja were performed in the early morning.
After 'Bhasmabhishekam' with sacred ash from Yagnas, a grand Arati
was performed and distribution of Prasad took place. The
environment sparkled up when in the evening a special Yagna
started with the Moola Mantras of Bhairava and Rudra. The whole
Yagna continued up to midnight and devotees experienced a
seraphical atmosphere due to the powerful recitation of Mantras by
the devoted Priests of Omkarananda Ashram Himalayas.
