KAILASA HOUSTON, USA On 23/9/2024
With the blessings of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM (SPH), BHAGAVAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM — the ultimate manifestation, Paramavatara of Paramashiva — KAILASA HOUSTON, USA, conducted its sacred Daily Rituals (Nithyotsavam) on 23 September 2024. These continuous, day-long temple activities are foundational to the mission of reviving Sanatana Hindu Dharma, ensuring the continuity of the enlightened Hindu civilization on American soil. The daily worship included a full spectrum of Hindu rituals, starting from the early morning awakening of the deities (Suprabhatam Seva) and culminating in the ritual of repose (Palliyarai Seva). Essential spiritual technologies, including Nithyananda Yoga and Nithya Dhyaan, were also conducted in the early hours. The entire day’s program was meticulously managed by dedicated volunteers, successfully connecting devotees with THE SPH to manifest the state, space, powers, being and superconsciousness of Paramashiva through authentic Hindu spiritual technologies.
KAILASA HOUSTON DAILY TEMPLE ACTIVITIES
The KAILASA HOUSTON DAILY TEMPLE ACTIVITIES represent the heart of the ecosystem’s spiritual life, maintaining the unbroken tradition of Nithyotsavam (daily celebration) as mandated by the divine grace of THE SPH. These rituals provide a vital spiritual conduit for the local Hindu community, embodying the essence of KAILASA's mission to awaken human consciousness globally. The smooth execution of the daily schedule, spanning the entire day, was overseen by 2 dedicated volunteers, whose service ensured that every sacred act was performed with high reverence and precision.
The auspicious day began in the Brahmamuhurta—the most sacred time before dawn—with powerful spiritual technologies designed for conscious awakening. Devotees gathered to participate in Nithyananda Yoga, specifically performing 108 Prathama Vinyasa Krama, followed by the deep inner alignment of Nithya Dhyaan Meditation. These practices prepare the participants to align their awareness with the superconsciousness of Paramashiva, setting a powerful enlightened spiritual space for the day.
Following the meditative practices, the temple’s daily services commenced with Suprabhatam Seva, the sacred process of waking up the deities, symbolizing the awakening of the divinity within each individual. This was succeeded by Bhoga Murty Alankaram, wherein sacred clothing and exquisite jewels were offered to the deities of THE SPH, Devi, and Shiva Meru. The transition into the main temple area was marked by the ritualistic Deity Procession, welcoming the Bhoga Murthy deities with reverence and grandeur.
The core worship involved both morning and evening sessions of Sri Guru Puja offered to THE SPH BHAGAVAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM, recognizing Him as the living manifestation of Paramashiva, alongside Sri Shiva Puja offered to the Moolavar deity, Lord Nithyanandeshwara. These profound acts of worship enable devotees to connect with THE SPH and actively manifest the state, space, powers, being and superconsciousness of Paramashiva. The day’s divine proceedings concluded with Naivedhyam, the offering of sacred vegetarian food to the deities in the evening, followed by the final ceremony, Palliyarai Seva, which involves the sacred process of putting the deities to repose with the offering of Chamaram (a divine fly-whisk), thereby sealing the divine energy and blessings generated throughout the day.
