You would be forgiven for thinking I am living in India in view of my recent posts. But I am in Singapore and furthermore in the heart of the historical Malay and Chinese area! Coming back from shopping tonight I passed by the Sri Sivan temple next door where some prayers were going on. It usually is a fairly quiet temple but it is starting to get busy and some big tents which I thought were for the forthcoming Chinese New Year have been erected on the field next door. But I just dicovered what was going on. As per what I just gathered from the internet The Sri Sivan Temple are preparing a Maha Kumababishegam (Consecration Ceremony). According to them, it is a belief that taking part and witnessing a Maha Kumbabishegam is a lifetime blessing. Therefore I might be a part of this magnificent tradition and receive the blessings of the Divine Lord, Sri Viswanathar and all the presiding deities of this Temple over the coming week-end.
