Daily Divine routine at Sivam.

31st of October 2008,Friday
Dear Brothers and Sisters,sairam and good day
Here is the daily divine routine that occurs at Sivam.
This is for the information for you,your friends,relatives and fellow devotees.
Around 4.30am, interested Sevadal Volunteer(s) go to Sivam and open the mandir with possible 'no noise'(as Swamy is resting), open the windows and light up a dull light and lit up two agarbattis to offer dhoopam.
Then, do a bit of seva by clearning up the stair case(s) on both sides of the mandir and surrounding areas; including the Ganesh Maharaj & Lord Siva's block. (If time permits, even lit up two oil lamps to be placed in front of Ganesh Maharaj.)
From about 4.40am onwards, devotees keep coming and we ensure absolute silence as much as possible; and all the bright lamps are switched off at 5.00am.
5.00 am - Ghanta Raavam (5 times)
- Followed by AUM KAARAM 21 times
- Suprabhatam is recited by ONE (only) of the experienced/SENIOR devotees
(Some times it is recited by all when Zonal Group(s) participate in this. This
entire event takes about 15 minutes. )

5.15 am - Break off silently and proceed for Nagar Sankeeratan, if there is one and return
back to Sivam by 6.00am.

Or, stay off from mandir to facilitate cleaning up of Mandir and Alankarana of
the Lord SAI.

5.30 am - On NO-Nagar Sankeertan days, after Alankarana, Assemble again silently for
Bhajan for Half an Hour.
