Maha Lingarchana

Namaste! / Greetings!


You are receiving this email information based on your past association and participation in events held at India Cultural Center & Temple (ICCT) in Memphis, Tennessee. The ICCT Kotilinga Kshetram project was conceptualized in 2020 and is actively progressing towards the construction phase. The Bhumi Puja and Sankusthapana events were grandly completed in October 2021 and August 2022, respectively.


In order to highlight the significance of this unique project, ICCT is conducting roadshows in various cities across the USA to share additional details about the Kotilinga Kshetram project. As part of the roadshows, our priests have been conducting Maha Lingarchana in various cities at devotees' residences. This has been received positively in various cities where we have performed the roadshows so far, and we are encouraged by several requests we have received from devotees expressing their interest to host this Maha Lingarchana event at their homes.


Conducting a roadshow event requires elaborate planning and coordination to perform the Lingarchana with the arrangement of 128 shiva Lingas and setting up for the abhishekam, followed by cleanup. But don't worry! We have you covered and will work with you to take care of all the logistics. You will see from the enclosed pictures of past successful events that each and every family present will get the opportunity to perform the Linga Abhishekam offering milk during the recitation of the sacred Rudram Namakam Chamakam by our esteemed Vedic priests. We encourage the hosts to invite their friends and family to witness and perform Linga abhishekam and receive abundant blessings of Lord Shiva.


To plan and prioritize the requests, we have opened an online registration form where interested devotees can sign up for the Lingarchana. If you are interested in hosting a Maha Lingarchana event at your home, please register by clicking the link below.

Significance of Kotilinga Kshetram

Kotilinga Kshetram consists of 10 million Bana lingams of various sizes over a three dimensional Sri Chakra of 416 square feet and 108 feet height, also known as Kailasa Prastharam in Srividya literature. At the top of the Srichakra (Bindu) sits a 18-foot vigraha of Maha Kameswari and Maha Kameswara in sitting posture, made out of gold-plated bronze. Bana Lingams are special stones obtained from Narmada river in Omkareshwar, India and they are considered to be Swayambu (self manifested) Shiva Saligramams. Because of their unique mineral content, these Bana-lingams emit positive energy. This unique concept enhances the emission of positive energy from Bana lingams combined with vibrations of Sri Chakra. Once established, this will be the only place in the world with a unique vibrant Sri Chakra adorned with 10 million Shiva lingams drawing pilgrims and visitors from all around the world. These vibrations will bring auspiciousness to not only Memphis and North America but to the entire world. According to Shiva puranam, consecration of a Shiva lingam will erase countless sins from numerous past lives of the devotee. As per the epic Ramayana, Lord Rama installed 10 million Shiva lingams all over India to get rid of his Brahmahatya Patakam of killing Ravana, a brahmagnani. The donor of the Shiva linga has a unique opportunity to install Shiva lingams with their own hands.
