A Global Celebration of Ugadi and the Restoration of Hindu Civilizational Legacy

LOS ANGELES, CA, March 19, 2026 — KAILASA’s global ecosystems and the Hindu diaspora today celebrated Ugadi, the New Year’s Day according to the Lunar Hindu calendar. 

On this auspicious occasion, THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM (SPH), BHAGAVAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM, extended divine blessings to all for an auspicious and blissful life, marking a new beginning of spiritual and cultural revival.

Restoring the Legacy of Ancient Empires

THE SPH, as the embodiment of Bhagavan Venkateshwara, has dedicated this period to restoring the civilizational and cultural heritage of communities once protected by the Vijayanagara and Satavahana empires. 

By establishing Sri Ananda Venkateshwara Temples in KAILASAs worldwide, THE SPH is reviving deep ancestral sentiments and providing the possibility for these communities to re-awaken the extraordinary genetic potential carried by their ancestors.

Sacred Rituals for Global Awakening

KAILASA’s global temples conducted a series of powerful Vedagamic rituals to mark the Lunar New Year:

• Pratyaksha Pada Puja: A profound offering of gratitude at the lotus feet of THE SPH, honoring the Guru’s presence and guidance in the lives of millions.
• Tirupavada Seva: Devotees experienced divine grace through this sacred seva, where Ananda Venkateshwara Swami’s three eyes, radiating nourishment like millions of suns, were adorned. This ritual energizes sacred rice offerings through His Netra Darshan (divine gaze), ensuring extraordinary blessings.
• Tirumanjana Seva: A sacred ritual involving the divine bathing of Sri Ananda Venkateshwara Swami and THE SPH with golden turmeric paste and fresh cow’s milk. This offering invokes spiritual cleansing, inner renewal, and a deepened divine connection for the new year.

Humanitarian Service: Aushadha Annadhan

In alignment with KAILASA’s mission to eliminate hunger and provide spiritual healing, Annadhan was served at all KAILASA locations globally. 

These free, nutritious meals were enriched with natural medicinal ingredients, serving as a source of physical and spiritual nourishment for the community. This initiative continues the tradition of humanitarian service during grand celebrations where hundreds of thousands of meals are distributed worldwide.
