With the blessings of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM (SPH), BHAGAVAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM — the ultimate manifestation, Paramavatara of Paramashiva — KAILASA Houston, USA, celebrated the supremely auspicious festival of '''Krishna Janmashtami''' on Sunday, August 25, 2024. This sacred day marks the divine appearance (birthday) of Bhagavan Sri Krishna, an embodiment of Divine Love and one of the greatest incarnations of Paramashiva. The day’s activities were a powerful spiritual immersion, focusing on deep Hindu rituals including the sacred offering of butter, '''Pushpam & Tulsi Archana''', and '''Radha Krishna Puja'''. Dedicated volunteers facilitated these celebrations, connecting the Houston community with the divine consciousness of Paramashiva exemplified by Bhagavan Krishna, thereby furthering KAILASA’s mission of reviving the ancient enlightened Sanatana Hindu civilization globally.
  
== Daily Temple Activities: Nithyotsavam ==
+
== KRISHNA JANMASHTAMI CELEBRATIONS ==
  
The day of worship commenced in the auspicious time of the '''Brahmamuhurta''' with intensive spiritual practices gifted by THE SPH. Devotees gathered to engage in the 108 ''Prathama Vinyasa Krama'' of '''Nithyananda Yoga''' and deep contemplation through '''Nithya Dhyaan''' Meditation, practices designed to elevate human consciousness and directly connect the participants to the divine superconsciousness of Paramashiva. Following these preparatory rites, the ritual day formally began with '''Suprapatam Seva''', the sacred process of ceremonially awakening the deities, symbolizing the awakening of the inner divinity within every devotee and seeking the grace of THE SPH for the entire day.
+
The '''Krishna Janmashtami Celebrations''' at KAILASA Houston were held to honor the birth and life of Bhagavan Sri Krishna, the embodiment of joy and superconscious celebration. As THE SPH BHAGAVAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM teaches, "Krishna ... Celebration is His Life & Message! He’s so much in love with life, in romance with cosmos. Everything about Him is just celebration, celebration, & celebration.” This celebratory spiritual state was invoked through various sacred Hindu rites performed by the devotees.
  
Following the awakening, the '''Bhoga Murty Alankaram''' was meticulously performed, where the deities of Paramashiva, Devi, and Shiva Meru, along with the Divine Form of THE SPH, were adorned with exquisite clothing and jewels. This practice is vital for maintaining the spiritual energy and vibrancy of the sacred space. A significant highlight was the '''Deity Procession''', welcoming the ''Bhoga Murthy'' deities into the temple area in a magnificent, ritualistic parade, reaffirming the divine presence in the local KAILASA ecosystem. These complex and detailed Hindu rituals were executed through the dedicated service of 2 volunteers who ensured the seamless and authentic execution of the temple schedule, embodying the spirit of ''Seva'' (selfless service) taught by THE SPH.
+
The primary ritual of the celebration involved the offering of butter, carried out with the profound, sacred sentiment of inviting Bhagavan Krishna into the homes and hearts of all devotees. This offering honors Bhagavan Krishna's identity as '''Navaneeta Chora'''—the one who lovingly steals butter. More importantly, it celebrates His ultimate spiritual identity as '''Chitta Chora'''—the one who possesses and takes away the devotee’s consciousness itself, replacing it only with Him, thus paving the way for superconscious breakthrough.
  
The essence of the day’s worship centered on '''Sri Guru Puja''' offered reverently to THE SPH, BHAGAVAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM, and '''Sri Shiva Puja''' offered to Lord Nithyanandeshwara (Moolavar) in both morning and evening sessions. These powerful Hindu rituals draw down the direct blessings of Paramashiva through THE SPH, activating the spiritual potential within all attendees. In the evening, the deities received '''Naivedhyam''' (food offering) before the day concluded with '''Palliyarai Seva''', the sacred tradition of putting the deities to sleep with ''Chamaram'' (fly-whisk service). This continuous cycle of worship, known as '''Nithyotsavam''', demonstrates KAILASA HOUSTON's commitment to the revival of the ancient, enlightened Sanatana Hindu civilization on planet Earth.
+
The program continued with intense devotion through '''Pushpam & Tulsi Archana''' (offering of flowers and sacred Basil leaves) and the ceremonial '''Radha Krishna Puja'''. These practices enabled participants to bask in the divine love and grace that define Bhagavan Krishna, reinforcing the foundational principle of ''Bhakti'' (devotion) taught by THE SPH. The seamless execution of these sacred rituals was made possible by the dedicated service of 5 volunteers, who ensured that the Houston community could fully immerse themselves in the deep spiritual significance of Janmashtami, connecting with THE SPH to manifest the state, space, powers, being and superconsciousness of Paramashiva.

With the blessings of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM (SPH), BHAGAVAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM — the ultimate manifestation, Paramavatara of Paramashiva — KAILASA Houston, USA, celebrated the supremely auspicious festival of Krishna Janmashtami on Sunday, August 25, 2024. This sacred day marks the divine appearance (birthday) of Bhagavan Sri Krishna, an embodiment of Divine Love and one of the greatest incarnations of Paramashiva. The day’s activities were a powerful spiritual immersion, focusing on deep Hindu rituals including the sacred offering of butter, Pushpam & Tulsi Archana, and Radha Krishna Puja. Dedicated volunteers facilitated these celebrations, connecting the Houston community with the divine consciousness of Paramashiva exemplified by Bhagavan Krishna, thereby furthering KAILASA’s mission of reviving the ancient enlightened Sanatana Hindu civilization globally.

KRISHNA JANMASHTAMI CELEBRATIONS

The Krishna Janmashtami Celebrations at KAILASA Houston were held to honor the birth and life of Bhagavan Sri Krishna, the embodiment of joy and superconscious celebration. As THE SPH BHAGAVAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM teaches, "Krishna ... Celebration is His Life & Message! He’s so much in love with life, in romance with cosmos. Everything about Him is just celebration, celebration, & celebration.” This celebratory spiritual state was invoked through various sacred Hindu rites performed by the devotees.

The primary ritual of the celebration involved the offering of butter, carried out with the profound, sacred sentiment of inviting Bhagavan Krishna into the homes and hearts of all devotees. This offering honors Bhagavan Krishna's identity as Navaneeta Chora—the one who lovingly steals butter. More importantly, it celebrates His ultimate spiritual identity as Chitta Chora—the one who possesses and takes away the devotee’s consciousness itself, replacing it only with Him, thus paving the way for superconscious breakthrough.

The program continued with intense devotion through Pushpam & Tulsi Archana (offering of flowers and sacred Basil leaves) and the ceremonial Radha Krishna Puja. These practices enabled participants to bask in the divine love and grace that define Bhagavan Krishna, reinforcing the foundational principle of Bhakti (devotion) taught by THE SPH. The seamless execution of these sacred rituals was made possible by the dedicated service of 5 volunteers, who ensured that the Houston community could fully immerse themselves in the deep spiritual significance of Janmashtami, connecting with THE SPH to manifest the state, space, powers, being and superconsciousness of Paramashiva.
