Rudram - It’s My Connect to Swami | OMS - Episode 81/100 | Shivaraman C

How Rudram Helped Me to Clear CA Exam

Shivaraman is a Bal Vikas student from Chennai who was drawn to chanting Vedic hymns in his childhood. The Sai environment he grew up in and his visits to Sundaram, Bhagawan's abode in Chennai, only furthered and effectively facilitated his interest in the mantras. Today he is blessed to be part of the grand Ati Rudra Maha Yajna, which will commence in Prasanthi Nilayam on Feb 14, as a ritwik, a priest.

Even as he exults at this lifetime opportunity, in this episode of OMS, he also shares how Rudram chanting has helped him in so many ways including clearing his Chartered Accountancy examinations in an inexplicable manner.

Yajnashala Nirmana Puja | Sthamba Narayana Puja | Ati Rudra Maha Yajnam | Feb 10, 2025

The sacred land of Prasanthi Nilayam is immersed in divine fervour as it prepares to host the Ati Rudra Maha Yajnam, a grand and powerful Vedic ritual dedicated to Lord Shiva. Taking place from February 14th to 25th, this monumental event marks the second time this Maha Yajna is being conducted at Prasanthi Nilayam, the first being in August 2006, when Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba Himself presided over the sacred ceremonies.

The Yajna commenced with auspicious Ganapati Puja, Vastu Puja, and Navagraha Puja, invoking divine blessings for the successful execution of this sacred offering. The marking of 11 Homa Kundams—which will serve as focal points for the powerful fire oblations—has also been completed meticulously by dedicated priests and volunteers.

The Ati Rudra Maha Yajnam is an advanced and elaborate form of worship dedicated to Lord Shiva, invoking His divine grace for universal peace, prosperity, and spiritual upliftment. The continuous chanting of the sacred Rudram by Vedic scholars, along with the powerful fire offerings, creates a transformative spiritual energy that purifies the environment and elevates collective consciousness.

Devotees from around the world eagerly await this once-in-a-lifetime spiritual spectacle, which stands as a testament to Bhagawan’s eternal presence. Let us all come together in devotion and gratitude, experiencing the divine vibrations of this Maha Yajna.

🌟 May this sacred Ati Rudra Maha Yajnam bring divine blessings, harmony, and upliftment to all! 🌟

What is the basic quality required for undertaking the spiritual journey? Bhagawan endearingly reminds us today!

The first sign of spiritual life is detachment (vairagyam). If you have no detachment, you are illiterate as far as spiritual scholarship is concerned. Detachment is the ABC of spiritual effort. Detachment must become strong enough to make you discard the bondage of the senses. Just a few minutes of thought will convince anyone of the hollowness of earthly riches or fame or happiness. When you are affluent, everyone praises you. If a corpse had a few jewels on it, the proverb says, many will claim kinship with the dead person. But if it has no valuables on it, not a single person will come forward to weep for it! When you are adding more and more sums of money to your bank account, ask yourself, whether you are not accumulating troubles for yourselves and your children, making it harder for your children to lead clean, comfortable, and honourable lives. When you struggle to achieve paltry fame by devious means, remember who among crores of your countrymen are honoured today and for what! Don’t you see that only those are honoured everywhere who gave up, renounced, and sought the more difficult road of God-realisation instead of the easier path of world-realisation?

What Makes Ati Rudra Maha Yajnam a Spectacular Worship of Lord Shiva | Insightful Panel Discussion

The Ati Rudra Maha Yajna is the highest form of worship of Lord Shiva. It is a most befitting offering to our Lord Sri Sathya Sai who is the embodiment of Shiva-Shakthi. The distinguished panel members discuss the various segments of the Yajna itself and many unique aspects of the way it is going to be performed here at Prasanthi Nilayam from February 14 - 25, 2025.

In addition to the 121 ritwiks who will perform the Yajnam making the offerings into eleven Yajna Kundams, the devotees in the hall and thousands from across the world watching the live stream will also join and chant the Rudram. The power of these vibrations can never be adequately comprehended.

World peace and happiness being the main purpose of the Yajnam here, makes this offering truly a selfless act of worship which is most pleasing to the Lord.
