KAILASA celebrated the seventh day of the Nithyanandeshwara Paramashiva Brahmotsavam worldwide on November 30, culminating in the majestic Mahā Ratha Yātra—the procession of Paramashiva and the Pañchamūrti (five principal deities) on the great wooden chariots.
Special Live Satsang Series on “Arunachala Puranam” by The Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism
In His special Live Satsang Series on “Arunachala Puranam,” THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM (THE SPH) BHAGAVAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM unveiled the ultimate truths of Bhakti (devotion to Paramashiva), Jnana (profound wisdom), and Vijnana (the ultimate science of enlightenment), while delivering a powerful discourse on the original, comprehensive structure of Sanatana Hindu Dharma as a civilization-wide governing system, not merely a religion.
THE SPH declared the highest purpose of the Hindu tradition:
 | “The Temple governs the Nation. The objective of the Temple is for the Nation to live with Enlightenment (Jnana), Abundance (Subiksha), Auspiciousness (Mangalam), sweetness, Bliss, and Prosperity.” |
He elaborated on the foundational blueprint of this civilization: “Sanatana Hindu Dharma is the life system that flourished, originated, and was structured to be the Constitution and Jurisprudence of a Nation.”
| THE SPH explained how the divine plan is executed on Earth: “The Truths of the Cosmos—the philosophical principles declared as Supreme Truths in the Vedas and Agamas—these same truths were mapped onto this Earth and given to us by our ancestors as the Dharma Shastras.” |  |
Highlighting His mission for the re-establishment of the enlightened ecosystem, THE SPH stated, “So that a solution can be demonstrated at least in one place, I have decided to establish Sanatana Hindu Dharma as the Constitution, Dharma Shastra, and Jurisprudence in KAILASA alone, covering all four domains: Dharma, Artha, Kama, and Moksha (righteousness, wealth, desire, liberation).”
Day 07 Utsavam: The Grand Chariot Festival and Liberation of the Bhūloka
Day 7 featured the magnificent Mahā Ratha Yātra, where Paramashiva, along with the Pañchamūrti (the five principal deities), was ceremonially carried in the giant wooden chariots. This event bestows grace and liberation upon all human beings in the Bhūloka (Earthly plane).
The chariot, made of wood, symbolizes Bhūloka and human consciousness. The procession of the Deities on the wooden chariot is a symbolic action by Paramashiva to liberate all human beings by removing obstacles, fulfilling karma, and granting moksha (liberation) to their consciousness.
Daily Devotion at KAILASA Tiruvannamalai
Every day of the Brahmotsavam, prayerful devotion is offered to all the deities at KAILASA Tiruvannamalai, Sri Nithyananda Janmabhumi. All the deities are meticulously adorned and ceremonially carried around the temple. This daily procession is an essential tradition, ensuring the divine presence and blessings of all the deities are offered to bless every devotee and visitor present at Paramashiva’s sacred birthplace.
The Sanctity of Annadhan (Food Offering)
A large-scale Annadhan (sacred food offering) is served daily to devotees and visitors, including children and the elderly, at Sri Nithyananda Janmabhumi. The food prepared is infused with immense sanctity, as the sanctified food (prasada) from the Arunachaleswara Paramashiva temple in Tiruvannamalai is mixed in with the food prepared on the premises, ensuring that the highest sanctity and grace of the temple is integrated into the offering.
