BY HETMAYAR
Some Hindu teachers insist that believing in rebirth is necessary for living an ethical life. Their concern is that if there is no fear of karmic repercussions in future lifetimes
Temple priests perform elaborate Abhishekam with Panchamritam, rose water, turmeric, and vibhuti (sacred ash), while chanting the Kanda Shashti Kavasam and Subramanya Bhujangam. These hymns invoke Murugan’s divine energy and instill courage, devotion, and clarity in the hearts of devotees.The Karthigai star is regarded as sacred to Lord Murugan, symbolizing His divine birth and cosmic purpose. On this day, devotees observe fasting, light lamps, and participate in the Abhishekam and Alankaram (decoration) of the deity. The ritual represents the cleansing of the mind and the illumination of wisdom.
At the Texas Murugan Temple, the sanctum radiates with divine energy as Lord Murugan is adorned with flowers, sandalwood, and kavadi decorations after the holy bath. The collective chanting and offerings elevate the spiritual vibrations, making it a transformative experience for devotees.We warmly invite all devotees to join the Monthly Karthigai Murugar Abhishekam on September 13, 2025, at 6:00 PM at the Texas Murugan Temple. May Lord Murugan bless you with courage, wisdom, and victory in all aspects of life.
