KAILASA Salem On 1/9/2024
With the blessings of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM (SPH), BHAGAVAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM — the ultimate manifestation, Paramavatara of Paramashiva — KAILASA Salem, on 1/9/2024, celebrated its daily spiritual routine as part of the Nithyotsavam activities. The primary focus of the day was an illuminating session regarding Laghu Pooja, a simplified yet profoundly potent Hindu ritual. This session, delivered in the format of an "Ask Nithyananda" answer, provided devotees with a clear understanding of how sincere devotion transcends complex external rituals, enabling them to easily connect with the divine grace of THE SPH. Documenting these daily sacred practices underscores KAILASA's commitment to the revival of Sanatana Hindu Dharma and making the profound spiritual technologies accessible to all humanity, manifesting the state, space, powers, being and superconsciousness of Paramashiva.
Laghu Pooja: The Power of Sincere Devotion
As part of the daily spiritual observances (Nithyotsavam), the KAILASA Salem ecosystem documented a profound teaching from THE SPH regarding the performance and significance of Laghu Pooja. This practice, translated as "small or simplified worship," is an ancient Hindu ritual designed to allow devotees to connect with the divine presence of Paramashiva in an accessible and consistent manner. This teaching was presented in response to a devotee’s question, guiding practitioners to understand that the efficacy of the ritual is based entirely on the sincerity and devotion of the individual, thereby empowering every person to participate actively in the spiritual life offered by the revival of Sanatana Hindu Dharma.
THE SPH explained that Laghu Pooja is often performed with fewer materials and rituals compared to more elaborate poojas, making it ideal for daily practice. The key lies in emphasizing the inner experience of connection with the divine rather than strict adherence to external complexities. In the performance of Laghu Pooja, devotees are instructed to offer simple items such as flowers, pure water, and light, while simultaneously engaging in the potent spiritual technology of chanting Vedic mantras and heartfelt prayers.
This simplified yet sacred method helps practitioners cultivate deep reverence and gratitude towards the divine presence in their lives. By focusing the consciousness on devotion, the Laghu Pooja becomes a powerful tool gifted by THE SPH for self-transformation. THE SPH emphasized that the transformative power resides not in the complexity of the offering, but in the depth of devotion, which enables devotees to connect with THE SPH and manifest the state, space, powers, being and superconsciousness of Paramashiva. Engaging in practices such as the Laghu Pooja brings peace and joy to the spiritual journey, firmly rooted in the consciousness-based education and revival of authentic Hindu sciences championed by KAILASA worldwide.
