Puranic & Spiritual Significance

According to the Shiva Puranam, when pride arose between Lord Brahma and Lord Vishnu over "Who is supreme?", Lord Shiva manifested on the holy day of Karthigai Pournami as an infinite pillar of cosmic fire (Lingodbhava Murthy) to shatter their ignorance. Vishnu as a wild boar and Brahma as a swan searched endlessly but could not find the limits of the Lord, eventually surrendering their pride. At their earnest request, Ishwara softened that towering cosmic flame into the serene Arunachala hill and granted Darshan in the form of divine light.

On the sacred Karthigai Pournami Maha Deepam day, performing this Shiva Rudra Homam at the Jyoti Sthala of Thiruvannamalai is an unshakable spiritual belief to burn away inner ignorance, eradicate birth diseases, shower auspicious light in households, and grant absolute success in all endeavors.
