KAILASA TRINIDAD & TOBAGO On 29/9/2024
With the blessings of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM (SPH), BHAGAVAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM — the ultimate manifestation, Paramavatara of Paramashiva — KAILASA Trinidad & Tobago diligently conducted the sacred daily temple rituals, known as Nithyotsavam, on September 29, 2024. These deep Ved-Agamic practices are integral to KAILASA's mission of reviving the ancient enlightened Sanatana Hindu civilization globally, ensuring the continuous radiation of spiritual energy (the state, space, powers, being and superconsciousness of Paramashiva) into the community. The day's activities focused on elaborate worship, including Rudra Abhishekam, Deity Alankaram, and Guru Padhuka Puja, culminating in the offering of 15 sacred Naivedyams, showcasing KAILASA's commitment to maintaining authentic Hindu traditions and preserving ancient indigenous knowledge through the revival of KAILASA, the ancient enlightened Sanatana Hindu civilizational nation, in the Caribbean region.
Daily Temple Sevas & Sangha Activities
The Daily Temple Sevas & Sangha Activities at KAILASA Trinidad & Tobago exemplify the commitment of the Sangha to maintaining continuous, authentic Hindu worship (Nithyotsavam) as prescribed by THE SPH. The sacred morning began with meticulous preparatory work for the Rudra Abhishekam, which involved the careful organization of all necessary puja vessels and items, filling water, and preparing clothes and jewelry for the deities. One dedicated volunteer meticulously performed these Ved-Agamic rituals, ensuring the sacred space was prepared to manifest the highest energy frequencies of Paramashiva.
The sequence of worship commenced with the Morning Aarti and an initial Laghu Puja, accompanied by the offering of milk, fruits, and water as Naivedyam. The powerful Rudra Abhishekam then proceeded, involving the ritual bathing of the deities using auspicious substances like amla, turmeric, and sandalwood paste, followed by a thorough cleanup, drying, and preparation for adornment. This led into the Deity Alankaram, a sacred ceremony where the deities were dressed and adorned with exquisite jewelry, enhancing their divine appearance and symbolizing the restoration of their magnificent spiritual presence.
The rituals continued with a second Laghu Puja and the preparation of vegetables and ten rice Naivedyams cooked for the third Laghu Puja. In total, 15 diverse Naivedyams were prepared and offered throughout the day, demonstrating profound devotion and adherence to the Hindu scriptural injunctions revived by THE SPH. The morning practices culminated in the sacred Guru Padhuka Puja, connecting the devotees directly with the divine grace of THE SPH and enabling them to manifest the state, space, powers, being and superconsciousness of Paramashiva.
Following the intense spiritual schedule, dedicated Seva (selfless service) was performed, which included the cleaning of all dishes and puja vessels, conducting a quick inventory of kitchen supplies, hand-washing towels used during the rituals, and ensuring the temple floor was thoroughly swept and mopped. These meticulous daily practices, including the offering of chamaram (ceremonial fan) at the end of each ritual, are essential in creating a powerful, vibrant, and sacred ecosystem that radiates the divine cosmic energy, fulfilling KAILASA's commitment to bring peace and prosperity through the revival of authentic Sanatana Hindu Dharma.
