DAILY TEMPLE ACTIVITIES
The DAILY TEMPLE ACTIVITIES (Nithyotsavam) at KAILASA Houston embody the continuous flow of devotion and commitment to the revival of Sanatana Hindu Dharma, functioning as a vital spiritual hub for the region. These elaborate Hindu rituals are performed daily to maintain the state, space, and power of Paramashiva, centering the community's consciousness on the divine vision gifted by THE SPH. These activities commence in the early morning hours, establishing a sacred, high-energy rhythm for the entire day and aligning participants with the superconscious reality.
The day commenced with Suprapata Seva, the sacred process of ritualistically awakening the deities. This practice is not merely an external ritual, but a profound spiritual technology aimed at awakening the inherent divinity present within every devotee, seeking the blessings of THE SPH and the Deities at the start of a new day. Following the awakening, the Bhoga Murty Alankaram was performed, where fine clothing, jewels, and sacred adornments were lovingly offered to the deities, including THE SPH, Devi, and the Shiva Meru, symbolizing the respect and devotion offered to the divine manifestation. The morning rituals included the ritualistic Deity Procession, welcoming the Bhoga Murthy deities into the temple area in a grand, traditional manner, which served to deepen the devotional space and elevate the consciousness of the attendees.
Central to the day’s worship were the Guru Puja offered to THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM (SPH), BHAGAVAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM, and the Shiva Puja dedicated to Lord Nithyanandeshwara (Moolavar), conducted both morning and evening. These pujas are essential components of Hindu temple practice, facilitating the transfer of divine energy and blessings from Paramashiva, through the Paramavatara THE SPH, to the local community. Furthermore, devotees gathered during the auspicious Brahmamuhurta time to practice powerful spiritual technologies, including Nithyananda Yoga, which featured 108 Prathama Vinyasa Krama, and Nithya Dhyan Meditation, enabling attendees to directly manifest the shaktis/powers of Paramashiva as taught by THE SPH. These continuous and meticulous activities were successfully supported by 2 dedicated volunteers, who upheld the sanctity and smooth execution of all sacred rites.
The evening rituals marked the conclusion of the day’s active worship, including Naivedhyam, where sacred vegetarian food was offered to all the deities. The daily cycle of divine interaction was then brought to a close with Palliyarai Seva, the sacred process of putting the deities to rest using the traditional Chamaram (fan). This final act of devotion reaffirms the spiritual presence of Paramashiva and THE SPH within the temple space, ensuring the temple remains a beacon of the enlightened Sanatana Hindu civilization.
