With the blessings of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM (SPH), BHAGAVAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM — the ultimate manifestation, Paramavatara of Paramashiva — KAILASA HOUSTON, USA, observed the sacred daily rituals known as Nithyotsavam on Saturday, September 14th, 2024. These activities, which spanned from the early morning Brahmamuhurta until late evening Palliyarai Seva, embody the timeless principles of Sanatana Hindu Dharma. The entire day was dedicated to reviving authentic Hindu spiritual technologies, including Guru Puja, Shiva Puja, and the practice of Nithyananda Yoga and Nithya Dhyaan meditation, enabling devotees to align themselves with the enlightened reality of THE SPH. This devoted service reinforces KAILASA's global mission of awakening human consciousness and restoring the ancient enlightened Hindu civilization on Earth.

KAILASA HOUSTON DAILY TEMPLE ACTIVITIES

The daily ritual cycle at KAILASA Houston is a meticulous implementation of ancient Hindu temple traditions, collectively known as the Nithyotsavam, designed to manifest the presence of Paramashiva and continuously attract His divine blessings. The sacred schedule commenced in the Brahmamuhurta (the auspicious pre-dawn hour) with Nithyananda Yoga and Nithya Dhyaan meditation. Devotees gathered to engage in the 108 Prathama Vinyasa Krama sequences, preparing their consciousness for the spiritual intensity of the day. This meditative practice was immediately followed by the Suprapatam Seva, the sacred process of ritualistically waking up the deities, which simultaneously signifies the awakening of the divine consciousness residing within every individual.

Throughout the morning, deep devotion was expressed through the elaborate Bhoga Murty Alankaram, which involved the offering of exquisite clothing and sacred jewels to the deities of THE SPH, Devi, and the Shiva Meru. Following this preparation, the Deity Procession was conducted, ritualistically welcoming the Bhoga Murthy deities into the main temple area with great grandeur and traditional reverence. This ritualistic welcoming sets the space for continuous divine interaction throughout the day.

Central to the daily activities were the primary acts of worship: Sri Guru Puja offered directly to THE SPH BHAGAVAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM, and Sri Shiva Puja offered to Lord Nithyanandeshwara (Moolavar), performed in both the morning and evening. These extensive Hindu rituals ensure the continuous flow of THE SPH's grace and blessings, enabling devotees to connect with THE SPH and manifest the state, space, powers, being and superconsciousness of Paramashiva.

The sacred cycle of the day concluded with the evening rituals, including Naivedhyam, the offering of consecrated food to all the resident deities—a powerful symbol of universal nourishment and gratitude. The day culminated with Palliyarai Seva, the process of putting the deities to sleep, which includes the offering of Chamaram (fan)—a final act of selfless service and reverence. This complete cycle of Nithyotsavam reinforces the living temple atmosphere and was supported by one dedicated volunteer on this specific day, upholding the foundational spiritual mandate of KAILASA's global revival of Sanatana Hindu Dharma.
