In all the puranas, and epics of Hindu History, whenever Vishnu incarnates and takes the form- He worships Paramashiva. Whenever Paramashiva comes down to Planet Earth, He worships Devi. From the time of His advent, today Paramashiva - in the form of His Divine Holiness - continues to devotedly worship Devi Parashakti and teach and guide millions in the same path.
At the age of 10 years old during the Navaratri celebrations in the Arunachaleshwara Temple of His birthplace, His Divine Holiness was in the Devi Unnamalai amman shrine after having taken bath in the temple holy water tank on His Guru Yogananda Puri Instruction. After receiving the initiation into the bheeja mantra for Parashakti, suddenly, in the shrine itself His Divine Holiness had the darshan of the living, breathing form of Devi Parashakti.
As soon as He saw the form of Parashakti, the Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism went home and began carving exactly what He saw. The deity which he carved is photographed below. The deity was 9.5 inches and made of soapstone. When He finished, SPH went to Arunagiri Yogishwara, the embodiment of Paramashiva and guru of SPH Himself and learned how to perfect the science of birthing deities.
In the words of the Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism:
"Please understand, the day I started carving the Devi deity after my vision of having Devi Darshan. Birthing of the Devi deity, birthing of Devi in the form of deity: when I started, that day Sacred Arts University has started. Understand. Fortunately, that was the time I used to be seeing Arunagiri Yogishwara physically. So he himself has helped me, literally he birthed and he taught me. He taught me through that birthing of the deity, He taught me how to birth the deity. So from that day, the Nithyananda Sacred Arts Hindu University, the Sacred Arts University has started."
In the vedagamas, the act of creating art itself is referred as an act of Divine, where the creator transcends the limitations of human and enters into the realm of Divine.
शिल्पं हास्मिन्नधिगम्यते य एवं वेद। यदेव शिल्पानीँ३ । आत्मसंस्कृतिर्वाव शिल्पानि च्छन्दोमयं वा एतैर्यजमान आत्मानं संस्कुरुते।
śilpaṃ hāsminnadhigamyate ya evaṃ veda। yadeva śilpānīm̐3 । ātmasaṃskṛtirvāva śilpāni cchandomayaṃ vā etairyajamāna ātmānaṃ saṃskurute।
Shilpāni, works of art of man, is the imitation of Divine forms. By employing their rhythms, the artisans metrically reconstitute, and interpret the limitless knowledge of the sacred hymns, from the limits of human ability. -Source: Rigveda, Aitareya Brahmana, 6.5..27
Revival of Nithyananda Sacred Arts University
Nithyananda Sacred Arts is established to preserve, revive and spread the vedic Temple arts, architecture and artefacts for people to live and experience the rich consciousness-based vedic heritage. The temple based arts and architecture is a Science based on the perfect frameworks of cosmic laws, sacred geometry, proportion and symmetry, sophisticated mathematical principles and cardinal directions. This Science is grounded on the sacred truth that ‘a temple is a miniature of the Cosmos comprising the five elements (earth, water, fire, air and ether) and its presiding deity (worshipful God form)’. Every aspect of temple and temple arts - from the size, shape, material, structure density, the size of the halls, pillars, courtyards, the facing directions, to the process of installing the deity and the art forms used – all these are revealed in the VedaAgamas, the source scriptures such as ‘Sthapatya Veda’ or ‘Vastu Shastra’ or ‘Shilpa Shastra’.
