Hi, On Sivaratri, most of the Shiva temples do Mahanyasa Parayanam. What is it? What is the significance of it? I tried googling, but could not get enough details. Can someone throw some light on it? Thanks Nirmala
Hi Nirmala The Mahanyasam, meaning the great nyasa (purification) is recited to purify the body, mind and soul of all the impurities. Normally it is recited before performing the Rudrabhishekam of Lord Shiva. Look this file "Foreword to Mahanyasam" (its a nice commentery on what is mahanyasam why we do it) ::RapidShare: 1-CLICK Web hosting - Easy Filehosting JAI SHIVA SHANKAR!
Hi lalana, Thanks for the clarification. I was not able to download the foreword, perhaps being Sivaratri today, many are downloading. Will listen to foreword later. I was able to listen to the Mahanyasam from here, Maha Nyasam MP3 audio- astrojyoti.com by astrologer S.P.Tata Thanks Nirmala
