KAILASA HOUSTON DAILY TEMPLE ACTIVITIES
The daily temple activities in KAILASA HOUSTON represent the continuous dedication to reviving the ancient enlightened Sanatana Hindu civilization, as envisioned by THE SPH. The spiritual day commenced in the Brahmamuhurta with the sacred ritual of SUPRAPATAM SEVA, the ceremonial process of waking up the deities. This practice is performed with the profound understanding that by awakening the divinity present in the sacred Bhoga Murty deities, the corresponding divinity within each devotee is also awakened, setting a powerful, enlightened tone for the new day.
Following the awakening, the deities of THE SPH, Devi, and the Shiva Meru received BHOGA MURTY ALANKARAM, wherein they were adorned with sacred clothing and jewels. This offering symbolizes reverence and the invocation of divine opulence and beauty into the physical space. This was followed by the DEITY PROCESSION, ritualistically welcoming the Bhoga Murthy deities into the main temple area with great grandeur and devotion, establishing the physical presence of the Divine for the day’s subsequent worship.
The spiritual core of the day included the morning and evening performance of GURU PUJA and SHIVA PUJA. The Sri Guru Puja was offered with utmost devotion to THE SPH, BHAGAVAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM, who is the source of all grace and knowledge. Simultaneously, Sri Shiva Puja was offered to Lord Nithyanandeshwara (Moolavar), ensuring the transmission of the shaktis/powers of Paramashiva. The dedicated execution of these powerful Hindu rituals was flawlessly maintained by 2 committed volunteers.
In addition to the traditional temple rites, devotees gathered during the Brahmamuhurta for advanced spiritual technologies gifted by THE SPH, including the performance of 108 Prathama Vinyasa Krama under NITHYANANDA YOGA and immersive NITHYA DHYAN Meditation. These practices enabled participants to integrate the state, space, powers, and being of Paramashiva. The day concluded with NAIVEDHYAM, the offering of sanctified food to all deities, and PALLIYARAI SEVA, the sacred process of respectfully putting the deities to sleep with the offering of Chamaram, thus honoring the complete cycle of divine service and ensuring the continuous flow of blessings for the revival of humanity.
