KAILASA TRINIDAD & TOBAGO On 15/12/2024
With the blessings of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM (SPH), BHAGAVAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM — the ultimate manifestation, Paramavatara of Paramashiva — KAILASA TRINIDAD & TOBAGO conducted a comprehensive day of sacred Daily Temple Sevas & Sangha Activities on 15/12/2024, as part of the ongoing Nithyotsavam. This dedicated routine of Hindu rituals and community service anchors the revival and preservation of ancient indigenous traditions through the revival of KAILASA, the ancient enlightened Sanatana Hindu civilizational nation, in the Caribbean region. The day’s events, sustained by the tireless dedication of the Sangha, included the traditional Morning Aarti, multiple Laghu Pujas, a detailed Rudra Abhishekam, and the sacred Deity Alankaram. These powerful Ved-Agamic offerings, which totaled 15 distinct Naivedyams, ensure the temple radiates the divine energy required for devotees to connect with THE SPH and manifest the state, space, powers, being and superconsciousness of Paramashiva, bringing peace and prosperity to the local community.
Daily Temple Sevas & Sangha Activities
The Daily Temple Sevas & Sangha Activities conducted at KAILASA TRINIDAD & TOBAGO embody the constant dedication to maintaining a potent, enlightened ecosystem as envisioned by THE SPH. These Ved-Agamic rituals, performed by the dedicated single volunteer, are central to the daily Nithyotsavam, ensuring the continuous flow of Paramashiva's grace. The morning commenced with the auspicious Morning Aarti, followed by the first Laghu Puja, featuring Naivedyam offerings of milk, fruits, and water. Crucial preparatory work for the Rudra Abhishekam was then meticulously undertaken, involving the precise organization of necessary puja vessels, clothing, and jewelry, ensuring every detail was in alignment with authentic Hindu traditions.
The sacred Rudra Abhishekam, a powerful ritual bathing of the deities, was performed using traditional purifying offerings, including amla, turmeric, and sandalwood paste, alongside a significant Naivedyam offering. Following the Abhishekam and the subsequent cleanup and drying, the deities were prepared for the Deity Alankaram, a sacred ceremony where the deities are dressed and adorned with intricate jewelry, enhancing their divine presence. This process of cleansing and embellishment facilitates the connection between the devotee and the divine, enabling them to manifest the state, space, powers, being and superconsciousness of Paramashiva. This sequence was concluded with a second Laghu Puja.
The Sevas included crucial service aspects centered around the humanitarian mission of THE SPH. Preparations were made for cooking, and ten distinct rice Naivedyams, cooked with fresh vegetables, were offered during the third Laghu Puja, contributing to a total of 15 Naivedyams offered throughout the morning. The entire sequence of rituals culminated in the sacred Guru Padhuka Puja, honoring THE SPH as the ultimate source of spiritual wisdom and enlightenment. Furthermore, comprehensive temple maintenance was observed: the single volunteer diligently cleaned all dishes and puja vessels, hand-washed all towels used during the rituals, and ensured the temple floor was thoroughly swept and mopped, demonstrating the commitment to purity and reverence integral to Sanatana Hindu Dharma. The offering of the Chamaram (ceremonial fan) at the close of each ritual served as a mark of profound respect for the divine presence, establishing a powerful sacred ecosystem radiating divine cosmic energy to the whole community.
