UN Human Rights Council recognizes KAILASA’s sovereign status under international law, in its 16th Report on Academic Freedom and Freedom of Expression in Educational institutions

by | May 3, 2024 | Briefings & Statements, Featured, Featured Recognitions, Global Initiatives, United Nations Published Reports

  • 1 May 2024: The Ancient Enlightened Hindu Gurukul system of education is based on the transmission of knowledge from Guru to Disciple and tailored to the unique traits, inclinations, and DNA of the disciple.
  • The Hindu Gurukul is the space where children are taught to identify their conscious aspirations and guided to achieve that, thereby ensuring academic freedom; rather than today’s system of rote learning and memorization, ‘uniformized’ across the spectrum from teacher to students.
  • Unlike any other modern nation, the United States of Kailasa (USK) provides a base for the revival, preservation, and central administration of Hinduism, similar to the Vatican, which serves as a central administration hub for the Roman Catholic Church.
  • The United Nations upholds KAILASA’s privileges while recognizing KAILASA’s inherited unbroken historical sovereign status as per the preamble of both the UN Convention on Diplomatic Relations and the UN Convention on Consular Relations that declares that historical “rules of customary international law continue to govern,” and confirms that “all nations from ancient times have recognized privileges and immunities” of sovereign entities of “differing constitutional and social systems” (preamble) and requires that a “state shall not discriminate as between states” including a historical form of statehood (article 47.1).
  • KAILASA is a sovereign subject of international law – possessing distinctive attributes of juridical statehood derived from SPH Bhagavan Nithyananda Paramashivam’s inheritance of the unbroken succession and the revival of three (3) ancient Hindu sovereign states, namely the kingdoms of Surya Vamsa Surangi Samrajyam Sarvajnapeetham, Suvarnapeetha Swargapura Samrajya Sarvajnapeetham, Shyamala Peetha Sarvajnapeetham, also the Kanchi Kailasa Sarvajnapeetham and seventeen (17) sovereign Hindu ecclesiastical historical institutions, that receive customary recognition by the United Nations as per the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations and the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations.
  • Despite the relentless persecution, over the past 44 years, SPH’s unwavering commitment to the holistic advancement of humankind encapsulates a magnanimous mission aimed at ensuring access to education for all, eradicating poverty, protecting the environment, achieving gender equality, elevating consciousness, and fostering enlightened ecosystems across the globe.

April 23, 2024 – Chitra Nakshatrotsavam: KAILASA Celebrates the monthly occurrence of Chitra Nakshatra, the birth star of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM

In the auspicious alignment of the Chitra Nakshatra, KAILASA, the Ancient Enlightened Sanatana Hindu Civilizational Nation, joyously celebrates Chitra Nakshatrotsavam, the festival dedicated to the monthly recurrence of the birth star of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM (SPH). This sacred occasion is marked by auspicious traditional observances and community service activities in honor of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM (SPH), BHAGAVAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM.

The Chitra Pournami festivities are primarily centered on the city of Tiruvannamalai, the birth town of THE SPH, one of the holiest cities in Hinduism, where a grand Annadhan offering of free food is conducted. In line with THE SPH’s vision of serving all devotees of Paramashiva, hundreds of thousands (lakhs) of meals featuring nutritious, medicinal cuisine are served free of cost over 48 hours of continuous service, embodying the spirit of compassion and charity championed by THE SPH.

Chitra Pournami holds the significance of commemorating the anniversary of the inauguration of the Sri Nithyananda Janmabhūmi Kshetram campus, which was established on April 19, 2008. Founded personally by THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM, this sacred place is a spiritual and religious pilgrimage site. Over the years, it has become a sanctuary where millions have gathered to immerse themselves in profound spirituality. This sacred space facilitates the transmission of spiritual knowledge and experiences, enabling countless devotees to receive the grace of Paramashiva and achieve spiritual liberation. The anniversary celebrations further underscore the lasting impact of THE SPH’s visionary contributions to spiritual enlightenment and global harmony.

Further honoring the day, a series of Sevas and traditional temple rituals are meticulously performed, celebrating the happening of Paramashiva on Earth as THE SPH. Among the highlights of the celebrations is the Maheshwara Puja, a sacred ceremony where THE SPH personally bestows liberation upon departed souls, allowing them eternal rest at the feet of Paramashiva.

Adding to the day’s spiritual magnificence, THE SPH grants a special LIVE Darshan, touching the hearts of devotees worldwide as the 1008th Incarnation of Paramashiva, showering boons and Enlightenment upon all, uplifting all attendees with His profound spiritual presence and divine grace.

Devotees from around the world express their deep gratitude for THE SPH’s immense contributions to their lives and to humanity. Many participate in the traditional ritual of Tulabharam, donating wealth equivalent to THE SPH’s weight in materials such as gold, silver, and other offerings as a symbol of their devotion and support for the mission of KAILASA led by THE SPH.

Through these flamboyant and sacred observances, KAILASA reaffirms its commitment to fostering conscious empowerment, social welfare, and global harmony, guided by the enlightened leadership of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM.

KAILASA Celebrates the Vedic Solar New Year 2024

KAILASA Celebrates the Vedic Solar New Year 2024

by | Apr 15, 2024 | Briefings & Statements, Featured, Featured Recognitions, Global Initiatives

April 14, 2024 – The Vedic New Year, celebrated in Tamil culture as Puthandu, marks the beginning of the New Year according to the position of the Sun in the zodiac signs, known as “Rashis” in astrology. The Sun moves through twelve different Rashis, each corresponding to a specific period of time. When the Sun completes its cycle through all twelve Rashis and returns to the first one, it signifies the start of a new year. Hence, Puthandu is celebrated as the auspicious day when the Sun enters its initial Rashi, symbolizing the commencement of a new year in the Vedic Solar calendar. Across KAILASA’s global temples, this auspicious day was celebrated with a variety of traditional rituals and festivals.

This day also marks the anniversary of the inauguration of two of the main spiritual embassies of KAILASA in the world: Tiruchengode and Ohio. KAILASA in Tiruchengode, previously named by THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM (SPH), BHAGAVAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM as Sri Ramakrishna Dhyanapeetam, located in Avathipalayam, Erode, on the banks of the sacred Kaveri river, was the first ashram established by THE SPH on April 14, 2001, 23 years ago, at ‘Bhavani Sangamam,’ the confluence of the three sacred rivers – Kaveri, Bhavani, and Amirtha.

KAILASA Ohio is the first temple established by THE SPH in the USA and has been directly graced by Kalabhairava Himself. The temple, located at a sacred Prayag, the confluence of sacred rivers, was blessed by THE SPH with the spiritual name of Prayagraj, envisioning it as a pilgrimage center for the Western world. Since its inauguration 17 years ago, the temple has ceaselessly offered spiritual and social services that include free food distribution, spiritual counselling, life-solutions, and many more, for the welfare of the local community.

Today, as KAILASA celebrates these auspicious New Year festivities dedicated to new beginnings, revival, and renewal, we commemorate these anniversaries by remembering KAILASA’s glorious past, gifted to Hindus by THE SPH, and look forward to further reviving Sanatana Hindu Dharma and sharing its finest dimensions with the world.

Chithirai Peruvizha Brahmotsavam: Celebrating the Happening of Devi Meenakshi and Her Living Incarnation, THE SPH

Chithirai Peruvizha Brahmotsavam: Celebrating the Happening of Devi Meenakshi and Her Living Incarnation, THE SPH

by | Apr 13, 2024 | Briefings & Statements, Featured, Featured Recognitions, Global Initiatives

April 12, 2024 – KAILASA inaugurates the grand Chithirai Peruvizha Brahmotsavam, celebrating the divine advent of Devi Meenakshi and Somasundareshwara Paramashiva in Madurai.

The Chithirai Peruvizha Brahmotsavam, also known as Meenakshi Brahmotsavam, is a celebration of the life and glory of Devi Meenakshi, the incarnation of Devi Paramashivashakti Herself, who, along with Bhagavan Sundareshwara Paramashiva, established the Kailasonnata Shyamala Peetha Sarvajnapeetham.

This festival commemorates the divine life events of Devi Meenakshi as recorded in the Skanda Mahapurana, Agastya Samhita, and Halasya Mahatmyam, the true and glorious history of Sanatana Hindu Dharma.

Devi Meenakshi, not born of a human womb, emerged directly from a Yagna, a sacred fire ritual. She was trained in warfare and governance and was later coronated as the ruling Queen of the Madurai Kingdom in what is celebrated as the Meenakshi Pattabhishekam.

To restore Dharma on Earth, bringing divine justice and restoring order and harmony among people, Devi Meenakshi undertook a Digvijaya, a conquest campaign during which she subjugated all three worlds up to KAILASA itself, where she met with Paramashiva, the Supreme Lord. Upon this meeting, she realized her true identity as an incarnation of Devi Paramashivashakti and married Lord Paramashiva in what is celebrated as the Meenakshi Tirukalyanam.

The lives of Meenakshi and Sundareshwara in the sacred city of Madurai are marked with Leelas, Divine Plays that are told even today and remembered on every street of Madurai.

This ancient and prestigious lineage of Devi Meenakshi and Soma Sundareshwara Paramashiva has been unbrokenly transmitted to this day and is presently carried by THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM (SPH), BHAGAVAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM, who is the incarnation of Devi Meenakshi Herself.

As the current sovereign of the Madurai Samrajyam and the 293rd Gurumahasannidhanam, the Supreme Pontiff and current sovereign of the Kailasonnata Shyamala Peetha Sarvajnapeetham, THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM has revived the ancient traditions and enlightened governance established by Devi Meenakshi for the benefit of all mankind.

This Chithirai Peruvizha Brahmotsavam festival serves as a reminder of Hinduism’s glorious past and enlightened knowledge, reminding us that Hindu scriptures are not mythology but historical records.

KAILASA’s global temples invite all worldwide to join these flamboyant celebrations and witness the revival of the Ancient Enlightened Sanatana Hindu Civilizational Nation in this Chithirai Peruvizha Brahmotsavam every day until April 23, 2024.

KAILASA Celebrates Panguni Uttiram, Sakala Devata Kalyanam, Holi & Lakshmi Jayanthi

KAILASA Celebrates Panguni Uttiram, Sakala Devata Kalyanam, Holi & Lakshmi Jayanthi

by | Mar 25, 2024 | Briefings & Statements, Featured, Featured Recognitions, Global Initiatives

March 24-25, 2024 – The auspicious day of Panguni Uttiram was celebrated by KAILASA in all its global temples and embassies worldwide. This sacred day was marked by the convergence of multiple traditional celebrations.

Panguni Uttiram is the day the divine unions of various deities are celebrated across the cosmos. On this day, heavenly bodies align in perfect harmony, and the energies of the universe are at their peak. The cosmic unions of Paramashiva and Devi Paramashivashakti, Sita and Rama, Andal and Ranganathan, as well as the union of Subrahmanya and Devasena, are all celebrated on this sacred day. The Sakala Devata Kalyanam ritual enacts these divine marriage ceremonies, allowing all individuals to look up to Gods and Goddesses to imbibe higher conscious values.

Subsequently, KAILASA celebrated Holi, the festival of colors, one of the main Hindu festivals. In Vaishnava tradition, Holi is celebrated as the day Radha and Gopikas united with Krishna in the Rasa Leela and experience the blossoming of the Sahasrara Chakra, the experience of Enlightenment. Each Gopika experienced their own Krishna, realizing Krishna in their Soul, the absolute spiritual ecstasy. This ancient festival is celebrated by millions of non-Hindus globally every year, highlighting the inclusivity of Hindu tradition.

This day was also marked by Devi Maha Lakshmi’s Jayanthi (birth anniversary), which included hundreds of rituals, offerings of gold, silver, Rajatha Arathi, Maha Lakshmi Archana, gold coin and Payal (anklets) offerings, Tulabharam, and a grand Pratyaksha Pada Puja during which hundreds of devotees expressed their gratitude at the feet of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM (SPH), BHAGAVAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM. 

On this occasion, with the blessings of THE SPH BHAGAVAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM, KAILASA Tiruvannamalai in its campuses of Sri Nithyananda Janmabhūmi and Sri Nithyananda Janmabhūmi Kshetram, held the Nithyananda Aushadha Annadhan, a large-scale offering of free medicinal food. In line with THE SPH’s vision of serving all devotees of Annamalaiar, KAILASA’s mega-kitchens run at their fullest capacity every Pournami (full moon) to provide generous sanctified nourishment to more than one lakh (100,000) people a day, at no cost. These efforts have reached more than a billion people worldwide to date.
