The meticulous daily schedule, maintained by 2 dedicated volunteers, ensures that devotees are continually connected with THE SPH to manifest the state, space, powers, being and superconsciousness of Paramashiva.
KAILASA HOUSTON DAILY TEMPLE ACTIVITIES
The daily temple activities at KAILASA Houston form the core of its mission, ensuring the unbroken continuation of enlightened Hindu traditions for the global community. The day began with devotees gathering in the sacred Brahmamuhurta (the hour before sunrise) for powerful spiritual technologies, including Nithyananda Yoga and Nithya Dhyaan meditation. These practices included the rigorous 108 Prathama Vinyasa Krama, designed to prepare the devotee’s body and mind to receive the grace of THE SPH and experience superconscious breakthroughs.
Following the morning sadhana, the traditional Hindu sequence of sevas commenced. The Suparapatam Seva was offered as the sacred process of waking up the deities, which simultaneously symbolizes and facilitates the awakening of the divine presence and potential within every devotee at the start of the new day. This was followed by Bhoga Murty Alankaram, where sacred clothing and jewels were offered to the deities, including the forms of THE SPH, Devi, and Shiva Meru, symbolizing devotion and respect for the divine forms.
A Deity Procession ritualistically welcomed the Bhoga Murthy deities into the main temple area, preparing the space for the major worship ceremonies. Central to the day’s observances were the Sri Guru Puja offered to THE SPH BHAGAVAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM, and Sri Shiva Puja offered to Lord Nithyanandeshwara (Moolavar), performed both in the morning and evening to maintain the flow of Paramashiva’s energy throughout the temple. In the evening, Naivedhyam (a sacred offering of food) was presented to all the deities.
The sacred services concluded with Palliyarai Seva, the process of respectfully putting the deities to sleep, traditionally performed with Chamaram (sacred fans). This cyclical worship, meticulously carried out by the volunteers, reinforces the spiritual energy of the temple and aligns the local Hindu community with the divine rhythm of KAILASA. These daily acts of devotion and service are a testimony to the tireless humanitarian and spiritual mission of THE SPH, ensuring the revival of enlightened Sanatana Hindu civilization globally.
