On 17th, Kumbhabhisheka to the temple of Goddess Sarvaanga Sundari (Parvati) was conducted and the Jagadguru delivered an Anugraha Bhashanam. On the 18th, the Jagadguru worshipped Lord Kalasheshwara with a special offering of 108 Silver flowers and performed Kumbhabhisheka. In His Anugraha Bhashanam, the Jagadguru blessed the gathering of devotees and informed that the image of Lord Shiva contains a profound message to mankind. Lord Shiva sports a serpent as well as the crescent moon; He smears Himself with ash, but also has the holy Ganges on His Head; The very image of the Lord conveys that we should be equanimous whether surrounded by favourable or unfavourable circumstances, or in the midst of adversity or prosperity.
