KAILASA TRINIDAD & TOBAGO On 20/11/2024
With the blessings of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM (SPH), BHAGAVAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM — the ultimate manifestation, Paramavatara of Paramashiva — KAILASA Trinidad & Tobago observed a day of intense spiritual service on November 20, 2024. The daily schedule was centered around Daily Temple Sevas & Sangha Activities, manifesting the sacred Ved-Agamic tradition of Nithyotsavam (Daily Rituals). These elaborate services, including Rudra Abhishekam, Deity Alankaram, and Guru Puja, were performed to continuously invoke the presence of Paramashiva and radiate the divine cosmic energy essential for the consciousness awakening of the community. This dedicated spiritual service day reinforces 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 day’s sacred activities at KAILASA Trinidad & Tobago were dedicated to Daily Temple Sevas & Sangha Activities, a continuous expression of devotion mandated by THE SPH to sustain the powerful spiritual ecosystem of the temple. These rigorous Nithyotsavam rituals ensure the continuous presence and grace of Paramashiva is anchored within the physical structure, blessing the local community and contributing to the global revival of Sanatana Hindu Dharma. The entire service was meticulously carried out by a dedicated Sangha member, embodying the commitment to selfless service taught by THE SPH.
The ritual schedule began with the essential foundational ceremonies, including Morning Aarti and a Laghu Puja, which included an offering of naivedyam composed of milk, fruits, and water. The central element of the morning was the Rudra Abhishekam, the auspicious ritual bathing of the deities. Preparations for the Abhishekam were exhaustive, involving the careful organization of all necessary puja vessels, the preparation of sacred water, and the readying of clothes and jewelry for the divine forms. The actual Abhishekam utilized specific traditional offerings such as amla, turmeric, and sandalwood paste, followed by a dedicated cleanup before proceeding to the divine adornment of the deities.
Following the Abhishekam, the sacred process of Deity Alankaram took place. During this ceremony, the deities were dressed in new vestments and adorned with exquisite jewelry, profoundly enhancing their divine appearance and radiating spiritual splendor. The worship continued with a second Laghu Puja offered to conclude the bathing ritual. A substantial part of the daily seva involved the preparation of food offerings: 15 Naivedyams in total were offered during the day's rituals, including the cooking and offering of ten dedicated rice preparations during the third Laghu Puja.
The morning worship culminated with the deeply reverential Guru Padhuka Puja, honoring the grace of THE SPH, the ultimate Paramavatara, as the source of enlightenment and liberation. Throughout the rituals, the sacred tradition of Chamaram Fanning was observed. Furthermore, the commitment to the sacred space extended to detailed cleanup and maintenance: all puja vessels and dishes were thoroughly cleaned, kitchen supplies inventoried, and the temple floor meticulously swept and mopped, ensuring the environment remains conducive for devotees to manifest the state, space, powers, being and superconsciousness of Paramashiva.
