Ayyappa Installation
Lord Ayyappa or Dharma Shastha represents a combination of spiritual powers symbolized by the forms of Lord Vishnu, the Power that maintains the universe and Lord Shiva, the Power that periodically re-absorbs the manifestations into Reality.
Installation of Lord Ayyappa was done in the Vedic temple on Nov 23rd. Sri Nithya Aikyananda Maharaj, head priest of Vedic Temples in USA, peformed the pratishtapana.
"When any Pratishta happens, an intense energy flow is created in the space, by continuous repetition of mantras and Homas - which charges the whole space and keeps it alive. When you are present in this space and create a thought or wish, your whole body and mind get tuned to that thought and so naturally it will become a reality in your life." - Paramahamsa Nithyananda
Abhishekam to Lord Ayyappa was done with energized Kalasha water by Swami Vimalananda, spiritual head of Seattle, followed by Sponsors and Public. The Event was filled with Chanting, lively bhajans and music. Spiritual signifance of Ayyappa puja, 41 day penance and Pampa river were beautifully explained by Aikyananda maharaj and public felt they really learnt a lot by attending the puja.
Below are some of the pictures taken during the event.
