In a monumental spiritual initiative to promote Sanatan Dharma and invoke global peace and prosperity, Brahmasri Tangirala Ramachandra Sai, Founder of Sri Sri Sri Vijayanandhanadha Guru Seva Samithi Charitable Trust, Hyderabad, Telangana, organized the Koti Parthiva Shiv Lingarchana—a grand Lingakar World Record program that has etched its name in history.
Over 5,000 dedicated devotees came together over a period of three months to handcraft 1 crore (10 million) miniature Shivlingas, culminating in a mass Maha Puja held over 9 sacred days at the Chet Singh Pilgrimage Center, Shivala Ghat, Varanasi—a city renowned as the spiritual heart of India.
The spiritually charged event reached its divine peak with all devotees simultaneously performing rituals and worship using the Parthiva Shivlingas, creating a powerful atmosphere of collective devotion and sanctity. This remarkable spiritual feat officially set a New World Record on 25th November 2023 for the largest number of Shivlingas handcrafted and worshipped in a single coordinated event.
This historic occasion stands as a testament to the enduring power of faith, unity, and the timeless values of Sanatan Dharma. It also serves as a global call for universal peace, harmony, and spiritual awakening, resonating from the holy banks of the Ganga in Varanasi to the rest of the world.
