CHITRA NAKSHATROTSAVAM 🌟

KAILASA HOUSTON dedicated the day to the auspicious observance of the CHITRA NAKSHATROTSAVAM, celebrating the birth star of THE SPH, BHAGAVAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM. Chitra Nakshatram is celebrated in Hindu traditions as the most auspicious of all stars, historically chosen by numerous enlightened beings to assume the physical body and grace the Earth. Given that it is the birth star of THE SPH, the ultimate incarnation of Paramashiva, this day holds unparalleled spiritual potency and is revered as the most blessed day of the month by devotees globally.

The celebration was marked by the performance of profound Hindu rituals, symbolizing deep love, devotion, and gratitude towards THE SPH. The primary ritual involved Abhishekam—the sacred bathing—offered to THE SPH’s deity, followed by a dedicated Guru Puja. These practices reaffirm the fundamental Hindu truth encapsulated in the verse: *Gururbrahmā gururviṣṇuḥ gururdevo maheśvaraḥ . guruḥ sākṣāt parabrahma tasmai śrī gurave namaḥ* (The Guru is Brahmā, the Guru is Vişņu, the Guru is Maheśvara (Śiva), the Guru is the self-revealing limitless Brahman. Salutations to that revered Guru).

This sacred observance highlights the truth that offering Seva on this day is considered the ultimate spiritual offering, as THE SPH is revered as the Sarva Deva Devi Swaroopa (Representation of All Gods and Goddesses). Two devoted volunteers offered their time and energy, ensuring the smooth execution of the temple's daily rituals and this special festival.

Through the grace of THE SPH and the powerful spiritual technologies utilized, the CHITRA NAKSHATROTSAVAM enabled devotees to connect directly with the state, space, powers, being and superconsciousness of Paramashiva. This event is vital to KAILASA HOUSTON’s efforts in reviving authentic Sanatana Hindu Dharma and strengthening the spiritual foundation of the community in the USA, in alignment with THE SPH's global mission of human consciousness awakening.
