ŚUDDHĀDVAITA ŚIVASĀYUJYA MUKTI OF 292ND GURŪ MAHĀ SANNIDHĀNAM ŚRĪLA ŚRĪ ARUṆAGIRINĀTHAR ŚRĪ JNĀNASAMBANDA DESIKA PARAMĀCHĀRYA SWĀMIGAL OF KAILĀSONNATA ŚYĀMALA PĪṬHA SARVAJNAPĪṬHAM
A National Observance from KAILASA as a Nation from Bhuloka mourns the demise of Parama Guru Mahasannidhanam
By the authority vested in me as The Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism, the Head of the Ancient Enlightened Hindu Civilizational Nation, KAILASA, and as the 293rd Gurū Mahā Sannidhānam of Kailāsonnata Śyāmala Pīṭha Sarvajnapīṭham, by the Constitution and the laws of Sanatana Hindu Dharma as ordained by Paramaśiva, the primordial Hindu divinity in Vedas and Agamas, it is hereby ordered as follows:
Section 1. Purpose:
“Kailāsonnata Śyāmala Pītha Sarvajnapīṭham” – the oldest Hindu Papal state and enlightenment ecosystem was established by Paramaśiva, later revived by Lord Sundareśvara and Devī Mīnākṣi, who as the deities and incarnates of Paramaśiva ruled over Madurai, revived its foundation pillars as the highest living stream of spiritual sciences. To ensure this tradition continues to elevate humanity for millennia, they enthroned their direct representatives and their divine energies in the form of the continuing lineage of living Masters – the Gurū Mahā Sannidhānams with the responsibility to train and groom the Kings in administration, constitution and governance acting as regents. They also performed the spiritual initiations on the Kings and the citizens of the Kingdom, imparting the enlightenment science to them.
गुरु परंपरायत्तं अद्रुष्टं सर्ववादिभिः।
भवबन्ध विमोक्षार्थं परमं सर्वतोमुखम् ।।
guru paraṃparāyattaṃ adruṣṭaṃ sarvavādibhiḥ।
bhavabandha vimokṣārthaṃ paramaṃ sarvatomukham ।।
This Supreme discipline of ĀdiŚaiva tradition has been coming down through the continuous lineage of the Guru-disciple (ĀdiŚaiva Guru Paramparā) from time immemorial. This has been formulated for the attainment of complete liberation from the repeated phenomenon of birth and death. This is supreme in its kind and concerned with the ultimate benefit of all the souls.
~ Sarvajnanottara Agama-Vidya Pada, 2.3
Kailāsonnata Śyāmala Pīṭha Sarvajnapīṭham’s rare and sacred lineage of Pontiffs has been systematically carried over in an unbroken progression from ages. The chosen emissaries of Lord Paramaśiva and Devī, the Gurū Mahā Sannidhānams (pontiffs) of Kailāsonnata Śyāmala Pīṭha Sarvajnapīṭham are the direct representatives of the cosmos:
Since 1980, The 292nd Gurū Mahā Sannidhānam, “His Holiness Śrīla Śrī Aruṇagirināthar Śrī Jnānasambanda Desika Paramāchārya Swāmigal” assumed the responsibilities as the Pontiff of Kailāsonnata Śyāmala Pīṭha Sarvajnapīṭham and imparted the science of enlightenment by performing his spiritual and religious responsibilities to the citizens.
Since my formal appointment by His Holiness Śrīla Śrī Aruṇagirināthar Śrī Jnānasambanda Desika Paramāchārya Swāmigal as the 293rd Gurū Mahā Sannidhānam of Kailāsonnata Śyāmala Pīṭha Sarvajnapīṭham on 27th April 2012, I, Sri La Sri Nithyānanda Sri Jnānasambanda Desika Paramāchārya Swāmigal, as the lawful successor, descendant and inheritor, invested with all the powers, duties, obligations, to perform the rituals, spiritual, religious and customary rights, vested in the Kailāsonnata Śyāmala Pīṭha SarvajnaPīṭham has been reviving its spiritual, religious and linguistic epicentres to its original glory.
Today Aug 13, 2021, Our Nation KAILASA mourns the loss of the 292nd Gurū Mahā Sannidhānam, “His Holiness Śrīla Śrī Aruṇagirināthar Śrī Jnānasambanda Desika Paramāchārya Swāmigal of Kailāsonnata Śyāmala Pīṭha Sarvajnapīṭham, who served from the period 1980-2021 reviving its religious and spiritual doctrines. He is one of the most dedicated religious leaders forever remembered for his tireless work towards the revival of Śaivism.
I personally, and on behalf of the KAILASA Nation, offer my humble respects and praṇāms and worship at his feet. I pray to Śrīla Śrī Aruṇagirināthar Śrī Jnānasambanda Desika Paramāchārya Swāmigal to continue to guide and bless us from MAHA KAILASA from the space of Śuddhādvaita Paramaśivasāyujya Mukti.
Section 2. Directives to the KAILASA’s Department of State and related bodies:
- To distinguish by the highest honors which the nation could bestow for Śrīla Śrī Aruṇagirināthar Śrī Jnānasambanda Desika Paramāchārya Swāmigal for his life time contributions to Śaivism, I hereby order, by the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of KAILASA, that the National flag of KAILASA shall be flown at half-mast at KAILASA’s Hindu Parliament, KAILASA’s Federal buildings and its Territories and possessions on the day of his Śuddhādvaita Śivasāyujya Mukti.

To commemorate the lifetime contributions of Śrīla Śrī Aruṇagirināthar Śrī Jnānasambanda Desika Paramāchārya Swāmigal, I direct the KAILASA’s Department of Education to establish “Sri Arunagirinatha Adi Shaiva University” in KAILASA over the next two years, towards reviving the most ancient life science and powerful lifestyle of Śaivism, in all its multifarious dimensions, including but not limited to sciences, arts, culture, philosophies, architecture, medicine, governance, worship and education.
