KAILASA TRINIDAD & TOBAGO On 8/12/2024
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 revival of Sanatana Hindu Dharma through Daily Temple Sevas & Sangha Activities on 8 December 2024. These essential Nithyotsavam (daily rituals) involved deep Hindu liturgical practices, including Rudra Abhishekam, Deity Alankaram, and Guru Padhuka Puja. The meticulous rituals, performed by a dedicated volunteer, culminated in the offering of 15 sacred Naivedyams (food offerings). This sacred service is fundamental to creating a powerful, radiating ecosystem of divine cosmic energy, fulfilling KAILASA’s mission of human consciousness awakening and preserving 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 represent the continuous flow of divine service (Nithyotsavam) essential for maintaining the sacred state, space, and power of the KAILASA Hindu Temple in Trinidad & Tobago. This daily practice ensures that the divine blessings of THE SPH and Paramashiva are continuously available to the local community, enabling devotees to connect with THE SPH and manifest the state, space, powers, being and superconsciousness of Paramashiva. These activities spanned ritual preparations, the sacred services themselves, and meticulous cleanup and maintenance.
The morning commenced with extensive preparations for the primary rituals, including the sacred Rudra Abhishekam. This involved a dedicated volunteer who prepared the temple space, organized necessary puja vessels and items, and readied the deities' clothing and jewelry. The rituals formally began with Morning Aarti and the first Laghu Puja, which included the offering of naivedyam such as milk, fruits, and water. The Rudra Abhishekam was then performed using potent sacred ingredients, including amla, turmeric, and sandalwood paste for the ritual bathing, reinforcing the spiritual connection to the cosmos.
Following the Abhishekam, the temple space was carefully cleaned and dried, preparing the way for the highly auspicious Deity Alankaram. During this sacred ceremony, the deities were dressed and adorned with jewelry, enhancing their divine appearance and radiating the grace of THE SPH. The ritual sequence continued with a second Laghu Puja to conclude the Abhishekam proceedings. Furthermore, ten fresh rice Naivedyams were cooked and offered during a third Laghu Puja, contributing to a total of 15 sacred food offerings presented throughout the morning.
The complete set of morning rituals culminated with the powerful Guru Padhuka Puja, honoring the divine Guru, THE SPH BHAGAVAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM, whose grace sustains all life in KAILASA. Integral to the daily service was the final stage of comprehensive cleanup and maintenance, where all dishes and puja vessels were cleaned, and the temple environment—including floors and towels used during rituals—was thoroughly sterilized and maintained, ensuring the sacred purity required for the revival of Hindu spiritual technologies. This tireless dedication, exemplified by the committed volunteer, ensures the sacred ecosystem remains vibrant and potent for the benefit of the entire region.
