Ayudh - Awaken Youth; Unite for Dharma

AYUDH Pune team celebrated Shivaratri at Ghoradeshwar Temple by cleaning up the temple premises. By understanding the fact that Cleanliness is way to Godliness, the AYUDHians decided to do this noble act on the occasion of Shivaratri. Ghoradeshwar Temple is an ancient cave temple dedicated to Lord Shiva. Thousands of devotees of Lord Shiva visit the Ghoradeshwar Temple during the auspicious occasion of Maha Shivratri. The Ghoradeshwar Temple is in the main cave and houses a Shiv Linga. One can sit here for a while, meditate and soak in the divine atmosphere. There is also a temple dedicated to Lord Vitthal and Goddess Rukmini in one of the other caves in this complex. Another cave has an idol of Sant Tukaram, a revered 17th century Hindu saint and poet. It is believed that he would often meditate at the Ghoradeshwar Caves. The team also had poster presentations during the trip in order to learn the significance of Shivaratri.
"It was such a satisfying experience on this auspicious occasion and we feel so blessed" said AYUDHians. After the clean up, AYUDH team also involved in decorating the Brahmasthanam temple consecrated by Amma and organized Shivaratri programs over there.
