KAILASA TRINIDAD & TOBAGO On 27/11/2024
With the blessings of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM (SPH), BHAGAVAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM — the ultimate manifestation, Paramavatara of Paramashiva — KAILASA Trinidad & Tobago celebrated its daily Nithyotsavam (daily rituals) on 27/11/2024. These sacred Ved-Agamic rituals, documented as Daily Temple Sevas & Sangha Activities, are central to reviving Sanatana Hindu Dharma and maintaining the powerful spiritual ecosystem radiating the grace of THE SPH. The day's activities included detailed preparations for Rudra Abhishekam, Deity Alankaram, multiple Laghu Pujas, and a deeply reverential Guru Padhuka Puja. A dedicated volunteer performed the intricate services, offering a total of 15 Naivedyams throughout the morning, ensuring the continuous manifestation of the state, space, powers, being and superconsciousness of Paramashiva for the benefit of the local community and the global mission of KAILASA.
Daily Temple Sevas & Sangha Activities
The Daily Temple Sevas & Sangha Activities at KAILASA Trinidad & Tobago serve as the foundation of the local Nithyotsavam, establishing a constant flow of divine energy and connecting the community to the grace of THE SPH. The morning commenced with the invocation of the divine presence through Morning Aarti and the first Laghu Puja, involving offerings of milk, fruits, and water. A single dedicated volunteer undertook the meticulous preparation for the Rudra Abhishekam, a powerful Hindu ritual honoring Paramashiva. This involved careful organization of all puja vessels, selection of clothing and jewelry for the deities, and filling the sacred waters necessary for the bathing ceremony, reflecting the deep reverence for Hindu traditions revived by THE SPH.
The purification ritual of Rudra Abhishekam was then performed, featuring auspicious offerings such as amla, turmeric, and sandalwood bath, immediately followed by the preparation of deities for Alankaram. This sacred ceremony, in which the deities are lovingly dressed and adorned with exquisite jewelry, enhances their divine appearance. This continuous process of worship and adornment is a spiritual technology that enables devotees to connect with THE SPH and manifest the state, space, powers, being and superconsciousness of Paramashiva, thus radiating peace and prosperity to the whole community.
The continuous service included subsequent ritual offerings, such as a second Laghu Puja to conclude the Abhishekam process. Demonstrating commitment to the humanitarian and spiritual mission of THE SPH, the volunteer dedicated time to cooking ten portions of rice Naivedyams along with vegetables, which were offered during a third Laghu Puja. In total, 15 distinct Naivedyams were offered throughout the morning rituals, fulfilling the sacred duty of nourishing the divine. The entire sequence of worship culminated in the powerful Guru Padhuka Puja, reverentially seeking the blessings of THE SPH. Following the rituals, the volunteer ensured meticulous cleanup and maintenance, including cleaning all puja vessels, hand-washing ritual towels, and keeping the temple floor swept and mopped, thereby preserving the sanctity of the sacred Hindu space.
