On the eighth day of Nithyanandotsavam - the celebration of the 45th Jayanthi, i.e. the 45th anniversary of the happening of THE Avatar, the Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism, Jagadguru Mahasannidhanam, His Divine Holiness, Bhagavaan Nithyananda Paramashivam - the nijaavataaraa, the 1008th incarnation of Paramashiva who has descended to give superconscious breakthrough to humanity. Nithyanandotsavam is being celebrated all over KAILASA - the first nation for all Hindus.

Today, the Utsava Vigraha of the Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism, Bhagavan Nithyananda Paramashivam is gracing us in the Leela Alankaram of Devi Kamakshi, the incarnation of Devi Parashakti worshipped in the city of Kanchipuram in Tamil Nadu, Bharat, the same Kanchipuram which has been the powerful center of the Thondai Samrajyam. Paramashiva graced Devi Kamakshi after she had done intense tapas for Paramashiva in Kanchipuram under a mango tree. This mango tree is the sthala vrisksha of the Ekambranatha Temple. Under this very tree Paramashiva taught Devi Kamakshi, Devi Parashakti, the ancient source scripture - Kamika Agama, the great Hindu science of manifestation.

The Kailasa Paramparagatha Kanchee Kailasa Sarvajnapeetham, Thondai Mandala Adheenam is the spiritual epicenter of the Tondai Samrajyam, that the Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism is now reviving. This ancient monastery maintains the powerful possibilities of enlightenment by storing the civilization’s DNA through the implementation of the Shaktini Pada, or lifestyle and initiations of the Charya and Kriya Pada from Kamika Agama delivered by Paramashiva.

The rich lifestyle in the Tondai Samrajya includes a thriving temple culture that pulsates within the hearts of everyone in the kingdom.

At the age of 10 the SPH Bhagavan Nithyananda Paramashiva was recognized as a divine incarnation, initiated, proclaimed, declared and coronated as the future Gurumahasannidhanam (Pontiff) of the Kailaasa Paramparagatha Kanchi Kailasa Sarvajnapeettham (Religious Kingdom and State). This Samrajya was ruled by the Thondaimandala Aadheenam (temple monastery), and was established by Paramashiva Himself.

Seeing the brilliance and grace of the young Supreme Pontiff the then 230th Pontiff, Kayilai Punithar Seelathiru Jnanaprakasha Swamigal Durai Jnanasambantha Mudaliar, declared that when he reaches the age of maturity the young Supreme Pontiff will take over full administration and responsibility of the Samrajyam.

In the year 2000, when the SPH Bhagavan Nithyananda Paramashivam turned 22, He assumed responsibility as the 233rd Pontiff of the Thondaimandala Adheenam and started working tirelessly for the grand revival of Tondai Samrajyam.

Sri Vidya Puja

Today, here in the Nithyanandeshwara Paramashiva Devalayam, at Adi Kailasa Sarvajnapeetham, we will now be offering the most sacred Sri VIdya Puja to the Cosmic Mother, Deii Parashakti in the form of Devi Lalitha Maha Tripurasundari. This sacred tradition of Sri Vidya Puja was revived centuries ago by none other than Sri Adi Shankara himself, when he came and established the Kamakoti Peetham in Kanchipuram. In the life of the Supreme Pontiff, this sacred science of Sri Vidya was bestowed to Him by His Guru Mataji Vibhutananda Puri when He was around 11 years old.

The Vedic rishis have created different kinds of techniques, methods or paths to connect with the Cosmic Consciousness, to experience the cosmic energy. I can say that the most sweet, authentic, and beautiful path is connecting with the divine as the Matru Bhava, as the Mother. The path of relating with the existence in the form of Mother is such a sweet, divine path. It is the easiest path and straight away helps us connect.

By first connecting with our physical mother, the mother who gave us this body, we create an inner space where we are ready to connect with the Cosmic Mother who is the Mother of the whole universe, who gave us the air to breathe and a place to sit, energy to see and energy to feel. Above all She gives us the energy to remember, feel and celebrate that we exist. She’s the Cosmic Mother. Connecting with the Cosmic Mother is the Sri Vidya Puja.

Transcript

Kailasa's Nithyanandotsavam Day 8

Kailasa's Nithyanandotsavam Day 8 | Kamakshi Leela Alankara Deeparadhana | Shri Vidya Navavarana Puja

Understand, Mahadeva has thrown what is in His inner-space. That is Shri Yantra! That is Shri Yantra! If you consume whatever Mahadeva has revealed. Sadashiva is the rishi for the Shri Vidya. If you consume whatever is revealed by Mahadeva, you achieve the same space. Shivoham, Shivoham, Shivoham Satchitanandoham! Shivoham! Nithyanandoham! Shivoham! Understand Shivoham! Shivoham is the sound, verbalisation of Mahadeva’s inner-space. Sri Yantra is the geometrical representation, visualization of Mahadeva’s inner-space. With this Yantra and the sound, when Mahadeva opens up his inner-space to you guys, simply you will see that, first thing, your Kula Kundalini will be awakened to have the darshan of Mahadeva!

Kalashtami is an auspicious Hindu festival dedicated to Lord Kalabhairava, the ferocious form of Shiva who blesses for powerful completion & integrity to happen in our lives.

Lord Kalabhairava bestows upon us a very powerful protection from all kinds of perils in life. He is depicted in the scriptures to have a dark complexion and to be ferocious to protect from all evils and negative forces. It is also believed that by worshipping Lord Kala Bhairava, all the ‘Rahu’ and ‘Shani’ doshas can be nullified. The power and compassion of Kalabhairava is such that the feet dust of Kalabhairava itself can liberate people and bestow Enlightenment itself.

On Occasion of Kalashtami, Kailasa Houston offered Kalabhairava Abhishekam, Alankaram & Aarati.

Sunday, 26th Dec 2021 - Today's temple sevas and enriching activity included:

1) Online Nithyananda Yoga @ 5 am - At Brahma Muhurta, a total of 10 lives were enriched for the daily Yoga spiritual routine of Prathama Vinyasa krama conducted by our yoga acharya, Sri Yogajnanananda.

2) Temple sevas - Today's morning seva was offered by Ma Meiyun which began with Suprabatham - waking up the deities, offering Paduka puja to Swamiji, Naivedyam puja - offering sacred food to deities , Jnanalaya puja - offering puja to Devi Saraswathi. Finally, palliyarai - putting the deities to sleep - was offered by Ananda Shraddha.

3) eGurukul (English) #11/2021 @ 3-5 pm - This afternoon, a total of 9 kids and 6 parents joined the eGurukul lesson. We began the lesson plan by offering Sri Guru puja to express our gratitude to our beloved Guru, Swamiji, also a way to deepen the feeling connection with the Master. After puja, Ma YY led the children into the practice of Nithyananda Yoga, Prathama Vinyasa Krama. The children did a gentle warm-up focusing on loosening the joints, hips and back followed by an energetic skeleton dance. All the parents and kids had fun with Skeleton dance. They learned 4 new yogasanas: MARICI ASANA, SIDDHA SAMADHI-ASANA, CARPATACOKASANA & BHAIRAVASANA. Finally, they learned to sit in silence and stillness with Swamiji for a few minutes. In the last segment, a powerful cognition I am Nithyananda, I am Paramashiva was given to the children. They watched a video on how Swamiji was inspired by Annamalai Swamigal whenever he was in doubt as a child, how to live the Master. Next, we played with the next Advance 3rd eye powers level 10 - Walking around obstacles. The children walked around the house blindfolded – 1) brought a fruit from the fridge, 2) brought an item from bedrooms, 3) brought a deity in the living hall. All the kids manifested the power of walking around the house blindfolded! Finally, we concluded the lesson with the peace chant of poorna mantra!

4) Alankaram - In preparation for the coming Avatara Dinatsavam, our alankaram team offered the seva to the 18 deities by giving sacred bath and new alankaram at Kailasa Singapore aadheenam. The seva was led by Ma Phyllis Wee, assisted by the following devotees - Ma Kher Jia, Ma MeiYun, Ma Jayantananda, Ma Jananananda and Sean Neoh. The deities are now looking stunning, ready for a grand celebration!
