Nithyanandam, KAILASA welcomes all of you to this grand and auspicious celebration of Maguda Abhishekam. Today, here in Nithyanandeshwara Paramashiva Devalayam, at Adi Kailasa Nithyananda Sarvajnapeetam, we are celebrating the auspicious ceremony of Maguda Abhishekam of Nithyanandeshwara Paramashiva. This sacred ritual is an exact replica of Magudabhishekam, the historical crowning ceremony that is being done today for Sri Arunachaleshwara Paramashiva, in the Arunachaleshwara Temple of the ancient spiritual town of Tiruvannamalai in South India. King Vallala Maharaja of the Hoysala dynasty (the last of the dynasty of Hindu Kings that ruled the kingdom of Tiruvannamalai, South India) was an ardent devotee of Lord Arunachaleswara (Paramashiva as He is known in Tiruvannamalai, the birthplace of the Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism, Bhagavan Nithyananda Paramashivam). He built a huge Eastern-side temple tower in the Arunachaleswarar Temple in Tiruvannamalai in the 14th century. The tower is named after him - as the Vallala Maharaja Gopuram. The King prayed to Lord Arunachaleshwara for an heir and was blessed in return that The Lord Himself would be his son. Keeping His word till date, the Lord performs the final rites for the King as his son would, every year on Masi Makha (the Tamil month Masi when the star Makha ascends in the stellar constellation). The day following the final rites to King Vallala Maharajah, Lord Arunachaleshwara Himself is crowned as the King of the Tiruvannamalai Kingdom, through a historic and grand ceremony at the Arunachaleshwara temple, Periya Naicker shrine. Therefore Lord Arunachaleshwara is not only the religious and spiritual head of Tiruvannamalai but the political head, King also. The ritualistic ceremony comprises the sacred bath - abhishekam - to Arunachaleshwara and a grand flower and jewel decoration adorning Him with the King’s crown and Royal turban. The ceremony is called Magudabhishekam (meaning coronation) and the decoration is called Raja alankaram (Raja - King; Alankaram - decoration). #Kailasa #Nithyananda #Nithyanandayoga #Enlightenment #Spirituality #Spiritual #arunachaleswarar #Cosmicconsciousness #thiruvannamalai (at San Diego, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpfaEPkLX2I/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
