SCHEDULE

EVERY FRIDAY – PRAYERS AT BHAKTI MARGA KENYA CENTRE

ENJOY THE EXPERIENCE

Abhishekam is done every day to the deity at Bhakti Marga Kenya Centre. On friday evenings, our regular morning prayer service is extended to include a special MahaAbhishekam on the large deity of Sri Veera Narsimha. The whole event lasts about three hours. While the curtains are closed, and the deities are being dressed, you will hear satsangs on divine scriptures, enjoy singing and dancing to kirtans and feel the spirit of the community.

DID YOU KNOW?

Abhishekam is a beautiful bathing ritual where five different substances are poured onto the deity. These substances symbolise the five elements of our physical nature and our lower nature emotional qualities. Through the Grace of the deities, these elements, our five senses and the mind are purified and transformed in a positive way.

  • Milk/water element/ego is offered to be elevated into wisdom and selflessness.
  • Yogurt/earth element/pride is offered to be transformed to humility.
  • Ghee/fire element/karma is offered in hopes of being freed from the bonds of material desire.
  • Honey/air element/Maya is offered up so that we may transcend illusions and rise to attain the Divine.
  • Sugar/ether element/emotionality (in particular, jealousy) is offered to be balanced and harmonised so we can be uplifted into the sweetness of the Divine
