ON THE 27TH FEB (5PM) , MAGUDA PATTABHISHEKAM IS SCHEDULED FOR ALL OF OUR TEMPLES WORLDWIDE. WE WILL BE ALIGNING TO THE TIRUVANNAMALAI TEMPLE FOR THIS RITUAL.

Coronation of Lord Arunachaleshwara (Paramashiva) as the King of the Tiruvannamalai Kingdom

King Vallala Maharaja of the Hoysala dynasty (the last of the dynasty of Hindu Kings that ruled the kingdom of Tiruvannamalai, South India) was an ardent devotee of Lord Arunachaleswara (Paramashiva as He is known in Tiruvannamalai, The SPH’s birthplace). He built a huge Eastern-side temple tower in the Arunachaleswarar Temple in Tiruvannamalai between 1318 AD and 1343 AD. The tower is named after him - as the Vallala Maharaja Gopuram. The King prayed to Lord Arunachaleshwara for an heir and was blessed in return that The Lord Himself would be his son. Keeping up His word till date, the Lord performs the final rites for the King as his son would, every year on Masi Makha (the Tamil month Masi when the star Makha ascends in the stellar constellation).

The day following the final rites to King Vallala Maharajah (which happened on the 26th of February this year), Lord Arunachaleshwara Himself is crowned as the King of the Tiruvannamalai Kingdom, through a historic and grand ceremony at the Arunachaleshwara temple, Periya Naicker shrine. Therefore Lord Arunachaleshwara is not only the religious and spiritual head of Tiruvannamalai but the political head, King also. The ritualistic ceremony comprises the sacred bath - abhishekam - to Arunachaleshwara and a grand flower and jewel decoration adorning Him with the King’s crown and Royal turban. The ceremony is called Magudabhishekam (meaning coronation) and the decoration is called Raja alankaram (Raja - King; Alankaram - decoration). The ceremony commences at 5 pm and concludes at around 8:30 pm, witnessed by thronging devotees.

All the KAILASA’s temples worldwide will be performing the coronation to the main Shivalinga and to the deity of The SPH JGM HDH Bhagavan Nithyananda Paramashivam who is the 1008th incarnation of Paramashiva, Lord Arunachaleshwara Himself, thus celebrating this historic event worldwide. The SPH has participated in this event every single year as a child in Tiruvannamalai till He was 17 years, when He left Tiruvannamalai for the international explosion of the Mission of KAILASA.
