Maha Shivaratri Celebrations - Rishikesh Kirtan Fest 2025 - Indradyumna Swami
On the auspicious day of Maha Shivaratri we held a joyful celebration in honor of Lord Shiva at our Rishikesh Kirtan Fest. Three hundred guests attended our program featuring a talk glorifying Lord Shiva, an abhisheka (bathing ceremony) of a large Shiva lingam, kirtan and the chanting of sacred mantras. It was truly a sacred event! In Hari-bhakti vilasa verse 195, Sanatana Goswami says: “Lord Shiva is the topmost Vaishnava, therefore, every Vaishnava should observe the vow of Shiva Ratri.”
