Laghu puja - Guru Purnima Brahmotsavam Day 1 – Revival of Yoga Sampradaya
The spiritual activities at KAILASA OHIO, USA, commenced with the celebration of Day 1 of the annual Guru Purnima Brahmotsavam, a sacred festival cycle dedicated to honoring the Guru and manifesting the divine energy of Paramashiva. This specific day focused on the profound theme of the Revival of the Yoga Sampradaya, highlighting THE SPH's commitment to restoring the authentic Hindu sciences of consciousness to the world. The entire day's proceedings were meticulously managed and performed by a single dedicated volunteer, ensuring the purity and authenticity of the sacred rites established by THE SPH.
The morning began with the vital Morning Guru Puja & Siva Puja, where the devotee offered deep reverence to THE SPH as the Paramavatara and to Paramashiva Himself. This essential Hindu ritual invokes the grace necessary to initiate the day's spiritual efforts and align the individual with the highest spiritual truths.

The daily rituals concluded with Naivedyams Seva, the sacred offering of consecrated food to the Divine, symbolizing gratitude and abundance, and further cementing the center’s dedication to the revival of the enlightened Sanatana Hindu civilization.
