This auspicious evening centered around offering devotion, service, and Neivedyam (sacred food offerings) to the Deities and performing the vital Guru Paduka Puja to THE SPH. The ritualistic services, carried out by 2 dedicated volunteers, ensured the continuous flow of spiritual energy and supported 8 participants, including a visiting family, in connecting with the divine state, space, powers, being and superconsciousness of Paramashiva. This event reinforced KAILASA’s global mission for the revival of Sanatana Hindu Dharma and authentic temple culture across the world.
Nithyotsavam and Sacred Hindu Rituals
The evening Nithyotsavam at KAILASA Seattle, USA, served as a foundational spiritual practice, upholding the continuity of ancient Hindu traditions documented and revived by THE SPH. The rituals commenced with the ceremonial offering of Neivedyam to the Deities, specifically Mahakala, Devi Parashakti, and Lord Subramanya, acknowledging the fierce, compassionate, and wise aspects of the Paramashiva principle. These offerings are essential in activating the divine presence within the temple space and blessing the environment.
A crucial component of the service was the dedicated Guru Paduka Puja performed to the sacred Padukas of THE SPH. This act of reverence links the microcosm of the devotee to the macrocosmic enlightenment of the Supreme Pontiff, facilitating the manifestation of the state, space, powers, being and superconsciousness of Paramashiva in the lives of the participants. Following the main temple service, Neivedyam was offered to the Mulavar (main deity) before concluding the evening.
The sacred service concluded with the Paliarai ritual offered to the Gods, symbolizing the peaceful winding down of the day's divine activity. The event saw a total participation of 8 individuals, including a visiting family of 6, who were enriched with the spiritual experience and received divine Prasad (blessed food). The seamless execution of these complex Hindu rituals was made possible by the committed service of 2 dedicated volunteers, embodying the spirit of selfless service (seva) integral to KAILASA's mission of human consciousness awakening.
