Shivaratri Utsav ( March 2, 2011) Chants of "Om Namah Shivaya" charged the air of Sivananda Ashram with Divine vibrations as they celebrated Sacred Maha Shivratri on March 2nd, 2011. Holy Shri Vishwanath Temple was agog with worship of Lord Shiva. It started with Shodashopachar Pooja at 4.00 am on March 2nd and continued until the next day 4.00 am on March 3rd. Continuous flow of devotees came to the Lord Vishvanath Temple to pray and seek the blessings of Lord Shiva – who is considered Ashutosh, who gets pleased very easily. The Siva Lingam was worshipped by washing it with milk, curd, honey and rose water as the chants of Vedic Hymns, Namakam, Chamakam, Rudram and "Om Namah Shivaya" in praise of Shiva continued.
