Holi is an ancient festival from India that celebrates the beginning of spring. This free event is expected to attract over 1,400 attendees this year (see pics from last year’s event). The family-friendly, colorful festival of Holi will be celebrated right here at the Bishop Ranch 2600 front parking lot on Friday, March 24. Eleven Laghu Rudram recitations make Maharudram and eleven Maharudram recitations constitute Ati Rudram! Eleven Ekadasa Rudram recitations make one Laghu Rudram. Eleven recitations of the Sri Rudram (Namakam) followed by one recitation of the Chamakam is called the Ekadasa Rudram. Rudram is the most sacred means of worshipping Lord Siva. Rudram and Chamakam are contained in the Krishna Yajur Veda. What is the Ati Rudram? The four Vedas (Rig, Yajur, Sama and Atharva) are the roots of our religion and foundation for Sanatana Dharma. We therefore urge devotees to seize the opportunity at hand and participate all eleven days of the event. Atirudram is a Mega 11 day event with participation by 121 priests and ritviks, many of them coming all the way from India. This is the first time an event of this magnitude is performed by Livermore Temple. Shiva-Vishnu Temple, Livermore, CA, would like to reach out to the Hindu community in the Bay area and across the US and invite them to participate in the Atirudra Maha Yagnam and Sata Chandi Homam to be performed at the Livermore temple from March 1 through March 11, 2018.
