President’s Message
On Monday the 20th of February, our Temple celebrated Shivratri, one of the most revered and fundamental homage to Lord Shiva, the highest deity of the Hindu faith. The Shivratri celebra-tion in our temple is the most holy worship to the Lord Shiva, which is loosely translated as ‗The Auspicious One‘, and ITA celebration to Lord Shiva this year was indeed auspicious.
Monday being President's day (a holiday for most) and the spring-like weather drew hundreds to the temple for the 2012 Shivratri celebration. As a result, all day there were steady lines of devo-tees formed at the temple to do Abhishekham to Lord Shiva and to hear the priests who recited bhajans and shlokas. Adding to the picturesque celebration, were temple Bhartnatyam dance performances by Radha Bodapati's students. The dance was most beautifully executed and capti-vated all who watched it.
The Shivratri celebration was indeed a festive day at our temple! Later in the evening, the audi-ence was further entertained by Bhajans, performed by Chandan Modi's students. One of the most magnificent attractions of the celebration was a large ice sculpture of Lord Shiva, which was indeed breathtaking. Funds for the ice sculpture came from several anonymous donors. All the celebrants, including the majority of ITA‘s trustees who joined in the celebration -- the vol-unteers who worked around the clock serving thandai, and the priests who offered a variety of prayers contributed to the Shivratri celebration.
All those who participated in our Temple‘s celebration of Shivratri enjoyed the rich and vibrant celebration of Shivratri put on by the India Temple Association. Clearly our Temple‘s celebra-tion of this year‘s Shivratri has provided us all a rejuvenation of our religious spirit. And -without question we all owe our board a great vote of thanks for making this year‘s celebration particularly meaningful and a great success.
