KAILASA TRINIDAD & TOBAGO On 15/11/2024
With the blessings of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM (SPH), BHAGAVAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM — the ultimate manifestation, Paramavatara of Paramashiva — KAILASA TRINIDAD & TOBAGO conducted the comprehensive Daily Temple Sevas & Sangha Activities on November 15, 2024. These sacred activities, forming the continuous daily celebration known as Nithyotsavam, ensure the daily maintenance of the spiritual ecosystem radiating the divine grace of THE SPH to the surrounding community. The day involved the rigorous performance of Ved-Agamic rituals, including multiple Laghu Pujas, an elaborate Rudra Abhishekam, and sacred Deity Alankaram. A total of 15 Naivedyams were offered to the deities, symbolizing devotion and surrender. Through this tireless dedication to ritualistic revival, KAILASA reinforces its mission of giving superconscious breakthrough to humanity and preserving ancient indigenous traditions through the revival of the enlightened Sanatana Hindu civilizational nation.
Daily Temple Sevas & Sangha Activities
The Daily Temple Sevas & Sangha Activities conducted at KAILASA TRINIDAD & TOBAGO are foundational to sustaining the powerful, sacred space established by THE SPH. These rituals, performed according to the authentic Ved-Agamic standards, ensure the continuous flow of blessings from Paramashiva to the Caribbean region. The day’s observances began with the traditional Morning Aarti, followed by the first Laghu Puja, during which offerings of milk, fruits, and water were made as naivedyam. A dedicated volunteer ensured the meticulous preparation and execution of these initial ceremonies, demonstrating devotion through selfless service.
A key component of the morning worship was the detailed Rudra Abhishekam, the ritualistic bathing of the deities. Extensive preparations were undertaken, including organizing puja vessels, filling water, preparing sacred garments and jewelry for the deities, and arranging the unique offerings of amla, turmeric, and sandalwood bath materials, alongside associated Naivedyam. Following the Abhishekam, the cleanup process was rigorous, ensuring the area was pristine before the Deity Alankaram ceremony commenced.
The Deity Alankaram is a sacred rite where the divine forms are beautifully dressed and adorned with exquisite jewelry, signifying the manifestation of Paramashiva’s glory. This process enhances the deities’ divine appearance, enabling devotees to connect with THE SPH to manifest the state, space, powers, being and superconsciousness of Paramashiva. Following the main rituals, a second and third Laghu Puja were offered. During these pujas, dedicated volunteers cooked and offered 10 rice-based Naivedyams, contributing to a total of 15 offerings throughout the morning.
The collective morning rituals culminated with the profound Guru Padhuka Puja, honoring the enlightened lineage and the direct manifestation of the Guru in the form of THE SPH. Throughout the entire sequence of rituals, Chamaram Fanning was offered at the conclusion of each segment, symbolizing respect and reverence. Beyond the ritualistic practices, the service included essential maintenance; all dishes and puja vessels were cleaned, kitchen supplies inventoried, and the temple floor was swept and mopped. These daily Nithyotsavam practices form the bedrock of KAILASA TRINIDAD & TOBAGO’s commitment to the revival of Sanatana Hindu Dharma, radiating peace and prosperity to the entire community.
