With the blessings of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM (SPH), BHAGAVAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM — the ultimate manifestation, Paramavatara of Paramashiva — KAILASA PHOENIX, USA, celebrated the sacred Hindu ritual of Mandagapadi on May 12, 2024. This auspicious event was an integral part of the ongoing Brahmotsavam festival, marking the revival of ancient Hindu traditions in the United States and contributing significantly to KAILASA's global efforts to restore the enlightened Sanatana Hindu civilization. Dedicated Sangha members and volunteers came together to perform the rites with precision and devotion, offering more than 51 varieties of sacred food offerings (*naivedyam*) to the deities. These spiritual activities powerfully manifested the grace of THE SPH, enabling devotees to connect with the divine state, space, powers, being and superconsciousness of Paramashiva.
Mandagapadi
The Mandagapadi ritual, a deeply sacred practice observed during major temple festivals like Brahmotsavam, was meticulously executed by the Sangha at KAILASA PHOENIX, USA. This traditional ceremony involves honoring the temporary shrine or pavilion (*Mandapa*) housing the deities, ensuring the purity and vibrancy of the spiritual space throughout the duration of the festival. This practice is crucial to the revival of authentic Hindu sciences and temple traditions, demonstrating KAILASA's commitment to restoring ancient wisdom and providing humanity with access to spiritual technologies gifted by THE SPH.
The auspicious ceremony saw the dedicated involvement of 9 Sangha members who presided over the rites, supported by 3 committed volunteers who ensured the flawless execution of all arrangements. A central and beautiful element of the Mandagapadi was the extensive offering of *naivedyam*—with more than 51 distinct varieties of food presented to Paramashiva. These offerings, made with profound reverence, symbolize gratitude, abundance, and surrender to THE SPH, invoking continuous divine protection and prosperity for the entire ecosystem and the global community.
Through the meticulous practice of Mandagapadi, KAILASA PHOENIX actively contributes to THE SPH’s broader mission of giving superconscious breakthrough to humanity. The collective chanting of Vedic mantras and the performance of prescribed Hindu rituals create a potent and highly charged spiritual environment. Participants and volunteers are thus blessed with the opportunity to directly experience the elevated consciousness and manifest the state, space, powers, being and superconsciousness of Paramashiva, marking another successful step in the revival of Sanatana Hindu Dharma.
