Significance and Story of Karthigai Deepam

Day's Event

Sadashivoham Day 12

A single drop (human soul) merges back into the ocean (Sadashiva, Cosmos, Super Consciousness)…This is the celebration where one lamp becomes many then merges again back into the single, Cosmic Lamp. Deepam festival celebrates awakening consciousness.

Traditionally, during the morning Bharani Deepam, the first Lamp is lit from the Garbha Mandir at the temple then lamps are placed at each Deity and finally given to the houses and people.

In the evening is Karthigai Deepam. The lamps are collected and returned back to the Garbha Mandir where they are merged into one, giant lamp.

Today is also the day that Devi became enlightened. She did Pancha Agni tapas to merge with Sadashiva. In the evening, Sadashiva appears as pure consciousness in the form of light. He gives half of himself to her and realizing her masculine energy, she becomes Ardhanandeshwara – the perfect blend of masculine and feminine conscious energies. This is the festival of giving enlightenment.

Bharani Deepam

In the early morning hours, the Aadheenam was alive, awake and assembled at the temple before 4am. From the Garba Mandir at Nithyanandeshwara Sadashiva Temple, His Holiness lit the first lamp. From there, He went around Himself in a beautiful procession, lighting all other lamps where the Deities reside.

His Holiness, once again, gave His powerful Presence as an experience to all people who were present. Every moment, breath, word, action, movement, everything that The Avatar does is meant to awaken and bring people to the next level from where they are.

Karthigai Deepam

On the evening of Karthigam Deepam, the flame on the summit of the sacred Arunachala Hill in Tiruvannamalai, the birthplace of The Avatar, is lit. A behind the scenes secret: To this day, His Holiness, does not miss the lamp lighting on Arunachula Hill; He always sees the live telecast.

“Whenever I remember power, I remember the top of Arunachala Hill. That is the expression of the power—the big bang—when Mahadeva stood as a light shaft. Arunachala is the spiritual lighthouse which attracts Enlightened beings”. Paramahamsa Nithyananda

Energy Darshan - the most amazing moment of lifetimes!

Listen. Actually today is the best day, Sadāshiva appears for Brahma and Vishnu, early morning in the form light shaft, means the consciousness which is beyond time and space, enters into time and space. One becomes many... that is what today morning you saw. Now all that lamps will be brought back and many becomes One again in the evening. See, the whole Hindu Cosmology is explained in this today’s celebration.

Sadāshiva declares, “Let Me become many to celebrate Myself.”

So morning, we celebrate He becoming many. You can see every deity, every God, we go and light the lamp; means the main lamp - His bio-energy is invoked, His presence is invoked from there. Each expression is Sadāshiva. That is why 5 lamps, to show His 5 face; one for the lingam, one for Nithyanandeshwara.

In Agama, everyone is separate, separate... only in Vedanta - one. When you take care...you see, all of us are One, but dosas need to be separate.All of us are One in the inner space, no doubt, but dosas need to be separate...the caring.

So each that Sadāshiva Himself becomes many, so whole Campus we went round and it was such high energy. I know it was... see, all these may look very simple, but they all have a profound significance. Especially today in that light, literally you had the darshan of Sadāshiva. Sadāshiva is there in that fire, so ritualistically it has to be maintained, till it reaches the temple back and till the evening...evening lamp is lit with that fire only. And evening we will have the celebration; all the lamps will be brought back. That is the sound you are hearing. They are going to all the, each shrine and do the puja and bring all the lamps back, so the….again the many becomes One and Devi is given darshan. Devi is accepted in the half.

Actually morning, Brahma and Vishnu were blessed and asked to make the One into many, evening even Devi became One. The whole thing becomes One. You will see the….you will also have the darshan of Ardhanarishwara - evening, means, the Sadāshiva in the form of Shiva and Devi. You’ll have darshan in the evening.

Not only spiritually, even socially this celebration forms a very important part of My life. Because this is the only celebration I enjoyed from My birth, at least in this body. The whole Arunachala will be vibrating. Usually every year I go to Arunachala for this. It’s around 20 hours celebration. Early morning to tomorrow morning, Sadāshiva Himself will come...go round the hill. So with that the ritual concludes. Tonight after the deepam, Sadāshiva’s deity will be brought. He will go round the whole hill, with all the paraphernalia which you guys are seeing now here, with all that fun and paraphernalia, He will go round the whole hill. Around 30 lakh people will walk all around the hill. It’s called Naramalai, means garland of human beings, will be put for that hill. And He will be garlanded... the whole hill will be garlanded today in 3 item - flower, lemon and another one fruit like a apple or orange. WHOLE HILL!! The garland will be long at least 15 kilometer. 15 kilometer long single garland made out of flowers. One garland made out of lemon. One garland made out of any seasonal fruit like apple or orange. It will be offered to the whole hill. One old man has made a trust - some hundred crore wealth, his wealth he left it for the trust, just to garland Sadāshiva on this one day. He made a Will - his whole money goes to only for garlanding every year Sadāshiva in the form of the hill. He had darshan of Sadāshiva in the form of the hill and after that he wrote and every year they very sincerely do it.

Matter, element through which energy can be spread into all..everything... You see, fire is the bridge. If you put earth element, water element, both into fire, he will convert that into air element and space element. He is the bridge. These two have form, these two does not have form. This is formless form. Air and space does not have form, earth and water has form, fire is formless form.
