MAHAKALA PRAYER FOR TIBETAN NEW YEAR
February 22, 2020 @ 1: 30 PM
Appearing in frighteningly splendid, majestic form, Mahakala holds a sharp Kartika in his hand, which symbolizes cutting through the five poisons. He consumes all negativity, adverse conditions, and obstacle-makers of the Dharma. Traditionally, a special Mahakala Puja is performed at the end of the Tibetan calendar year to safeguard one from obstacles in the coming year.
