KAILASA TRINIDAD & TOBAGO On 27/9/2024
With the blessings of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM (SPH), BHAGAVAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM — the ultimate manifestation, Paramavatara of Paramashiva — KAILASA Trinidad & Tobago dedicated September 27, 2024, to intensive Daily Temple Sevas & Sangha Activities. These sacred activities, categorized as Daily Rituals (Nithyotsavam), involved the performance of elaborate Ved-Agamic Rituals including Rudra Abhishekam, multiple Laghu Pujas, and Deity Alankaram. This unwavering commitment to daily worship ensures that the KAILASA temple functions as a vibrant, sacred ecosystem, continuously radiating the divine cosmic energy and manifesting the grace of THE SPH. Such daily *Nithyotsavam* activities are foundational to KAILASA's global mission of reviving the ancient enlightened Sanatana Hindu civilization and enabling devotees to connect with THE SPH to manifest the state, space, powers, being and superconsciousness of Paramashiva.
Daily Temple Sevas & Sangha Activities
The spiritual day at KAILASA Trinidad & Tobago began with a profound schedule of Daily Temple Sevas & Sangha Activities, rigorously following the sacred Ved-Agamic traditions gifted by THE SPH. The schedule was executed by a dedicated volunteer, demonstrating selfless service (*seva*) essential for the smooth functioning of the temple and the effective transmission of the superconscious energies. The morning rituals were inaugurated with the Morning Aarti, followed immediately by the first of three Laghu Pujas, which included the offering of pure *naivedyam* consisting of milk, fruits, and water.
A key component of the morning’s worship was the performance of the Rudra Abhishekam. Extensive preparations preceded the ritual bathing of the deities, involving the careful organization of sacred items, filling of purified water, and setting out ceremonial clothes and jewelry. The *Abhishekam* itself was a profound act of devotion, utilizing auspicious substances such as amla, turmeric, and sandalwood for the divine bath, concluding with a specific *Naivedyam* offering. Following the bathing, the area was meticulously cleaned and dried before the deities were prepared for the subsequent ceremony.
The deities were then honored through Deity Alankaram, a sacred ceremony where they were dressed and adorned with intricate jewelry, enhancing their divine splendor and creating an intensely powerful visual representation of Paramashiva’s grace. The ritual flow continued with a second Laghu Puja, offered to formally conclude the *Abhishekam* process. Furthermore, the Sangha prepared vegetables and cooked ten separate rice *Naivedyams*, which were offered during a third Laghu Puja, resulting in a grand total of 15 *Naivedyams* presented to the deities throughout the day.
The morning spiritual schedule culminated with the sacred Guru Padhuka Puja, an act of deep reverence seeking the continuous blessings and guidance of THE SPH, the ultimate Paramavatara. Practical maintenance activities, including the thorough cleaning of all puja vessels and a systematic sweep and mop of the temple floor, were conducted afterward to preserve the sanctity and cleanliness of the divine space. Throughout the rituals, the sacred tradition of Chamaram Fanning was observed, offered ceremonially at the conclusion of each major rite, affirming the atmosphere of deep respect and devotion cultivated by the Sangha as they actively participate in KAILASA’s mission of civilizational revival.
