KAILASA HOUSTON DAILY TEMPLE ACTIVITIES
The daily cycle of worship, known as Nithyotsavam, constitutes the heart of the spiritual life at KAILASA HOUSTON, USA. These rituals are meticulously performed according to the Agamas and the direct teachings of THE SPH, serving to maintain the powerful spiritual ecosystem necessary for manifesting the superconscious breakthrough for all devotees. The auspicious daily schedule began in the sacred hour of Brahmamuhurta with the SUPRAPATAM SEVA, the revered process of waking the presiding deities. This practice is offered with the deep spiritual significance of awakening the divinity present within each attendee, seeking blessings for a conscious and enlightened day.
Following the sacred awakening, the deities received the BHOGA MURTY ALANKARAM, an elaborate adornment involving offering sacred clothing and jewels to the representation of THE SPH, Devi, and the Shiva Meru. This was followed by a DEITY PROCESSION, ritualistically welcoming the Bhoga Murthy deities into the main temple area with great grandeur and devotion, symbolizing the perpetual movement of divine grace. The central focus of both the morning and evening services was the performance of SRI GURU PUJA offered to THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM, BHAGAVAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM, alongside the SRI SHIVA PUJA dedicated to Lord Nithyanandeshwara (Moolavar).
The day’s ritualistic service concluded with the offering of NAIVEDHYAM (sacred food) to all the deities in the evening, ensuring divine nourishment is received before the final sacred ceremony. The ultimate ritual, PALLIYARAI SEVA, saw the deities put to rest with the offering of the Chamaram (fan), bringing the auspicious daily cycle to a close. These complex and devotion-filled activities were successfully carried out through the dedication of 2 committed volunteers, who tirelessly ensured the uninterrupted flow of divine grace and the continuous maintenance of the temple’s sacred space.
Complementing the traditional Hindu rituals, devotees gathered in the Brahmamuhurta for the consciousness-based practices gifted by THE SPH. The program included NITHYANANDA YOGA, specifically focusing on the 108 Prathama Vinyasa Krama, followed by NITHYA DHYAN Meditation. These ancient Hindu spiritual technologies empower participants to directly connect with THE SPH’s grace and manifest the state, space, powers, being and superconsciousness of Paramashiva, directly contributing to KAILASA’s mission of reviving the ancient enlightened Sanatana Hindu civilization globally.
