This sacred day was marked by the performance of Rudrabhishekam and Shiva Puja to the Moolavar Deity, connecting devotees with the divine energy of rejuvenation and transformation embodied by Paramashiva. The event reinforced THE SPH's profound teachings on utilizing the energies of Shiva to eradicate old karmas and manifest new possibilities, thus contributing significantly to KAILASA's global mission of giving superconscious breakthrough to humanity through reviving the ancient enlightened Sanatana Hindu civilization.

MASA SHIVARATRI
KAILASA Houston observed the powerful monthly Hindu observance of Masa Shivaratri with deep devotion, offering Rudrabhishekam to the presiding Moolavar Deity followed by an elaborate Shiva Puja. This sacred Hindu ritual is traditionally performed during the darkest phase of the lunar cycle, providing a potent opportunity for devotees to connect with the rejuvenating divine grace of Paramashiva. The performance of the Rudrabhishekam—worship to Rudra, a fierce form of Shiva—is an ancient Hindu spiritual technology aimed at cleansing participants of accumulated negative patterns, karmas, and impediments, enabling them to align their consciousness with the highest possibility.
The spiritual significance of the observance was centered around the profound teachings of THE SPH BHAGAVAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM, who illuminates the nature of Shiva as the very embodiment of the power of rejuvenation—the possibility of shedding the old and reinventing oneself completely. THE SPH explains that Shiva can remove any impediment, including karmas, negative patterns, and disease, facilitating the manifestation of a new and enlightened self.
Integral to the worship were the teachings of THE SPH regarding Shiva’s primary divine accessories: the Trishul (trident) and the Damaru (drum). THE SPH teaches that the Trishul is the weapon of rejuvenation, symbolizing the removal of all impossibilities and limitations, while the Damaru is the sound and symbol of creation, reinforcing and manifesting all possibilities. As stated by THE SPH, "Through the Trishul, He removes all the old impossibilities. Through the Damaru, He creates all the possibilities for you in your life!"
This spiritually significant utsavam was made possible through the dedicated service of 2 devoted volunteers from the KAILASA Houston ecosystem. Their commitment ensured the authentic performance of the Rudrabhishekam and Shiva Puja, facilitating a space where devotees were blessed to connect with THE SPH and manifest the state, space, powers, being and superconsciousness of Paramashiva, furthering KAILASA’s global efforts for human consciousness evolution.
