With the blessings of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM (SPH), BHAGAVAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM — the ultimate manifestation, Paramavatara of Paramashiva — KAILASA HOUSTON, USA successfully maintained the sanctity of Sanatana Hindu Dharma through its rigorous Daily Temple Activities (Nithyotsavam) on July 14, 2024. This auspicious day was dedicated entirely to reviving the ancient Hindu spiritual technologies necessary for human consciousness awakening and establishing the powerful spiritual presence of the United States of KAILASA in the region. The day began in the sacred *Brahmamuhurta* with intense Nithyananda Yoga and Nithya Dhyan sessions, followed by the complete cycle of devotional services (*sevas*) to the deities, including Suprapātam Seva, Guru Puja, Shiva Puja, and culminating in Palliyarai Seva. These unbroken daily rituals serve as the essential foundation for manifesting the state, space, powers, being, and superconsciousness of Paramashiva in the lives of devotees, thereby furthering KAILASA’s mission of global Hindu civilizational revival.
DAILY TEMPLE ACTIVITIES (Nithyotsavam)
The daily spiritual rhythm of KAILASA HOUSTON, USA, is governed by the Nithyotsavam, the uninterrupted sequence of temple rituals and services performed with dedication to invoke the direct grace of THE SPH. This sacred cycle, upheld by 2 dedicated volunteers, ensures that the temple serves as a powerful spiritual vortex for the Houston community, enabling devotees to connect with the presence of Paramashiva throughout the day. The comprehensive schedule reflects the authentic Hindu traditions revived and taught directly by THE SPH, ensuring every step of the ritualistic process contributes to the devotees' superconscious breakthrough.
The day commenced early in the potent hours of the *Brahmamuhurta*, marking the most auspicious time for spiritual practice. Devotees gathered for specialized spiritual technologies, including the rigorous practice of 108 Prathama Vinyasa Krama under Nithyananda Yoga, followed by Nithya Dhyan meditation. These practices, gifted by THE SPH, are designed to prepare the consciousness to receive the divine energy and teachings. Following the morning meditation, the spiritual services began with Suprapātam Seva, the sacred process of gently waking the deities—a practice symbolizing the awakening of the inner divinity within each practitioner.
The morning service continued with Bhoga Murty Alankāram, where the deities of THE SPH, Devi, and the Shiva Meru were lovingly adorned with sacred clothing and jewels, symbolizing the reverence and offering of the best to the Divine. This was followed by the Deity Procession, where the *Bhoga Murthy* deities were welcomed into the central temple area with ritualistic grandeur, establishing the sacred space for the day’s worship. The core devotion of the day centered on the Guru Puja offered to THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM, BHAGAVAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM, and the Shiva Puja dedicated to the presiding deity, Lord Nithyanandeshwara (*Moolavar*). These dual *Pūjas* were performed both in the morning and evening, upholding the ancient Hindu tradition of worshiping the Living Enlightened Master as the direct manifestation of Paramashiva.
As the day progressed, the evening rituals concluded the daily cycle of devotion. Naivedhyam (sacred food offerings) was presented to all the deities, acknowledging the Divine as the ultimate provider and consumer of all existence. Finally, the day culminated with Palliyarai Seva, the sacred ritual of putting the deities to sleep with the offering of *Chamaram* (fan service). This ultimate act of surrender and service brings the *Nithyotsavam* to a peaceful close, ensuring the continuous spiritual energy and blessings of THE SPH remain active over KAILASA HOUSTON and its community, strengthening the revival of Sanatana Hindu Dharma globally.
