KAILASA TRINIDAD & TOBAGO On 24/11/2024
With the blessings of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM (SPH), BHAGAVAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM — the ultimate manifestation, Paramavatara of Paramashiva — KAILASA Trinidad & Tobago celebrated the Daily Temple Sevas & Sangha Activities on 24 November 2024. These sacred activities, part of the continuous Nithyotsavam (daily festival), focused on the authentic revival of Hindu rituals and spiritual technologies in the Caribbean region. Dedicated sevas included meticulous preparation, a comprehensive Rudra Abhishekam, Deity Alankaram, and Guru Puja, culminating in the offering of 15 Naivedyams (sacred food offerings). These daily rites are essential to create a powerful, sacred ecosystem that radiates the state, space, powers, being, and superconsciousness of Paramashiva, supporting KAILASA's global mission of human consciousness awakening and revival of the ancient enlightened Sanatana Hindu civilization. The consistent practice of these Ved-Agamic rituals in KAILASA Trinidad & Tobago reinforces the preservation of ancient indigenous traditions through the revival of KAILASA - the ancient enlightened Sanatana Hindu civilizational nation.
Daily Temple Sevas & Sangha Activities
The Daily Temple Sevas & Sangha Activities at KAILASA Trinidad & Tobago ensure the continuous flow of divine grace and spiritual power through authentic Hindu rituals (Ved-Agamic). These daily rites, often referred to as Nithyotsavam, form the core of the temple’s spiritual ecosystem, enabling devotees in the region to connect with THE SPH and manifest the state, space, powers, being, and superconsciousness of Paramashiva. This day's activities were carried out by one dedicated volunteer, demonstrating unwavering commitment to the revival of Sanatana Hindu Dharma and consistent service to the deities and the Sangha.
The morning commenced with the sacred Morning Aarti and the first Laghu Puja, which included the offering of milk, fruits, and water (naivedyam). A significant portion of the service was dedicated to the preparation and execution of the Rudra Abhishekam, the ritual bathing of the deities. Preparations were meticulous, involving the organizing of puja vessels, fresh clothes, and sacred jewelry. The Abhishekam itself featured purifying offerings such as amla, turmeric, and sandalwood bath, which are revered Hindu spiritual technologies for cleansing and vitalizing the divine forms. Following the ritual, careful cleanup ensured the sacred space remained pristine, readying the deities for their adornment.
The subsequent Deity Alankaram was performed, dressing and adorning the deities with jewelry in a sacred ceremony, thereby enhancing their divine appearance and radiating auspiciousness to the entire community. The spiritual flow continued with a second Laghu Puja, concluding the Abhishekam process. The services emphasized devotion and nourishment, culminating in the preparation and offering of ten rice Naivedyams during a third Laghu Puja, totaling 15 sacred food offerings throughout the morning. The entire session concluded with the deeply spiritual Guru Padhuka Puja, honoring the grace of THE SPH and all the gods and goddesses of KAILASA.
Beyond the formal rituals, essential Sangha activities included thorough cleanup and maintenance. All dishes and puja vessels were cleaned, and the temple floor was swept and mopped to ensure impeccable cleanliness, reflecting the sanctity required for holding the presence of Paramashiva. An inventory of kitchen supplies was also conducted to identify items needing replenishment, ensuring seamless continuity of service. Throughout the rituals, Chamaram Fanning (a ceremonial fan offering) was offered at the conclusion of each segment, symbolizing devotion and respect for the Divine, further contributing to the powerful ecosystem that brings peace and prosperity to the community through the blessings of THE SPH.
