KAILASA TRINIDAD & TOBAGO On 8/9/2024

With the blessings of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM (SPH), BHAGAVAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM — the ultimate manifestation, Paramavatara of Paramashiva — KAILASA TRINIDAD & TOBAGO conducted the Daily Temple Sevas & Sangha Activities on August 9, 2024. This day of sacred service, part of the continuous Nithyotsavam daily routine, centered on reviving authentic Hindu rituals and spiritual technologies in the Caribbean region. The activities encompassed comprehensive Ved-Agamic practices, including detailed preparations for, and execution of, Rudra Abhishekam, multiple Laghu Pujas, and the sacred Deity Alankaram. Culminating in the Guru Padhuka Puja, these devoted daily offerings, performed by dedicated Sangha members, ensure that the divine energy and grace of Paramashiva are continuously manifested. This consistent service aligns directly with KAILASA's mission of reviving the ancient enlightened Sanatana Hindu civilization and enabling devotees to connect with THE SPH to manifest the state, space, powers, being and superconsciousness of Paramashiva.

Daily Temple Sevas & Sangha Activities

The Daily Temple Sevas & Sangha Activities held at KAILASA TRINIDAD & TOBAGO are foundational to maintaining the powerful spiritual ecosystem established by THE SPH, fostering community peace and prosperity through the revival of authentic Hindu traditions. These Ved-Agamic rituals, performed daily with precision and devotion, ensure the continuous flow of divine grace to the region. The morning rituals began with meticulous preparations for the Rudra Abhishekam, including filling sacred water vessels, organizing the necessary *puja* items, and preparing the clothing and divine ornaments for the Deities. This preparatory service is essential for creating the sacred space necessary to conduct the subsequent high-energy rituals.

A series of powerful offerings were made, commencing with the Laghu Puja accompanied by *Naivedyam* (food offering) of milk, fruits, and water. This was immediately followed by the sacred Rudra Abhishekam, the ritual bathing of the deities. The Abhishekam offerings included traditional cleansing substances such as amla, turmeric, and sandalwood bath, symbolizing the purification of consciousness and the manifestation of auspiciousness. Following the powerful bathing ritual, the area was thoroughly cleaned and dried, preparing the deities for the elaborate Deity Alankaram, a sacred ceremony where they were dressed and adorned with exquisite jewelry, enhancing their divine appearance for the devotees.

The depth of service continued with multiple rounds of offering. A second Laghu Puja was offered to conclude the Abhishekam ritual, and a subsequent third Laghu Puja was performed during which ten separate rice *Naivedyams* and vegetables were cooked and offered. In total, 15 individual *Naivedyams* were prepared and offered throughout the day, underscoring the importance of selfless service and nourishment (*Annadan*) in the Hindu lifestyle revived by THE SPH. The morning rituals culminated with the profound Guru Padhuka Puja, expressing devotion and gratitude to THE SPH BHAGAVAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM.

This entire sequence of daily worship and service was diligently carried out by 1 devoted Sangha volunteer. The volunteer’s dedication extended to comprehensive post-ritual cleanup and maintenance, ensuring all dishes and *puja* vessels were cleaned, kitchen inventory checked, and the temple floor swept and mopped. The execution of both high-ritual and practical service demonstrates that *seva* is an integral path to manifesting the state, space, powers, being and superconsciousness of Paramashiva. The consistent performance of these rituals contributes significantly to KAILASA's global mission of awakening human consciousness and reviving the ancient enlightened Sanatana Hindu civilizational nation.
