Siva Ratri Celebrations this Sunday at Toronto

Siva Ratri Celebrations this Sunday!

This Sunday, February 19, 2012, Toronto's Hare Krishna Temple will be celebrating Siva Ratri.

Siva Ratri literally translates as “the Night of Lord Siva.” Lord Siva is described as “the greatest Vaishnava (devotee of Lord Krishna)." As such, this week's Sunday "Love" Feast will be dedicated to honouring Lord Siva.

6:00pm to 6:30pm - Arati
6:30pm to 6:40pm - Welcome and Announcements
6:40pm to 7:30pm - Spiritual Discourse
7:30pm to 7:50pm - Abhisheka (bathing ceremony) for Lord Siva
7:45pm to 8:00pm - Arati for Lord Siva
