I’ll from walk village to village, sit, spend some time- and small boy, naturally people will become curious, all alone! They will come and try to talk to me. Then I’ll start talking to them and start enriching, whatever little way I know! It was a raw, crude, ground-level way,

One Person at a Time.”

“KAILASA is a place where everything related to Superconsciousness is revived.

All the sampradayas*, all the spiritual ecosystems created for Enlightenment will be revived and established in such a way, it never gets lost again, there forever serving the humanity”

- The SPH Nithyananda Paramashivam (6 Jan 2019)

*Sampradaya: The multiple arms/sects of Hinduism, each exploring the science of awakening the individual's peak possibility, in a unique, time-tested, fool-proof way

The adulation of violence in recent lifestyle has enabled disruption in several nations - affecting millions of lives with mental distress, physical health ailments, defalcation of food supply, and pinpointed destruction to the infrastructure of several countries.

The Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism, Bhagavan Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam, has dedicated His life and made it His mission to bring global peace from the ground-level, through the KAILASA's Dept. of Religion & Worship, and Dept. of Human Services.

To bring harmony in humanity, to create a life of freedom and peace for every individual on the planet, through the revival of the Temple Ecosystems.

"...Joshua Gordon, M.D., Ph.D., director of the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), pointed out that environmental factors present both risk and protective influences on mental health. He grouped such factors into three types.

  • Individual factors such as the microbiome.
  • Natural and built components include green spaces, housing, and highways, which may play a role in health disparities.
  • Social factors like family structure, poverty, and other social determinants of health..."
  • National Institute of Environmental Health Studies, March 2021

From 1994 to this date, the Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism has worked tirelessly in the revival of Temple Ecosystems globally.

Through KAILASA's Dept. of Religion & Worship, and Dept. of Human Services led by the SPH, this life-long commitment to the mission and vision of bringing global harmony, sustainable living, and reproducible ecosystems has been proven in building active, contributing Temple Ecosystems around the world.

The developmental, economic, social, and medical impacts of malnutrition and famine have a critical impact on the individual, familial, community, national, ultimately on the global level.

With the on-going COVID-19 pandemic triggering an alarming spike in food insecurity, the United Nations have given warnings of famines of biblical proportions. In 2020 alone, 690 million people were estimated to be pushed into food insecurity.

The access and availability to organic food has become of utmost importance.

Bengal Famine
Food distribution at Ujjain Kumbh Mela

1943 – 1944: In the man-made famine of Bengal, as per existing records 3+ million were murdered. The Prime minister of the world’s biggest empire controlling 1/3rd of mankind claimed they could not do anything about the people dying of hunger because - “Hindus bred like rabbits and the famine was their fault”.

2016, Ujjain : In Ujjain Kumbh Mela, the peacekeepers of KAILASA served organic food to over 3+ million. Peacekeepers of KAILASA under the leadership of the SPH Nithyananda have served more than 1 billion free meals in past 26 years and are determined to end hunger and poverty in all its forms. KAILASA, with 200 peacekeepers at any given time, can deliver what even one of the biggest countries could not deliver. KAILASA is not driven by war, fear or greed - it is an enlightenment based nation - driven by selfless service.

The Vedagamas, the source of Hindu Scripture, declares :

।। अन्नम् बहु कुर्वीत ।।₁
“Annam Bahu Kurveetha”

which means, “Let us produce food in large quantities”.

Through the widespread distribution and promotion of free, healthy, organic food, KAILASA’s global peacekeepers led by the SPH serve such that we may achieve food security, improve nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture globally.

Annadhan is the vision to end poverty and hunger, in all its forms.

From the original 100 million source books of Hinduism, barely 20% remain today.

Through KAILASA’s Dept. of Enlightened Civilizations, the Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism has committed His life to ensure the preservation, protection, and transmission of the age-old, authentic, time-tested Hindu knowledge.

The SPH serves to not only protect the branches of knowledge remaining today, but also to revive this vast knowledge which has been lost over years of genocide, and persecution.

Zero

The Rig-Vedas, one of the fundamental source scriptures of Hinduism, expresses a concept known as the Hiranyagarbha, or the “Universal Womb”.

From the concept of Hiranyagarbha, comes the understanding of the space out of which everything comes forth, Zero.

From India to Persia, then onto Arabia through the Hindu scholar Kanaka, this knowledge is today the cornerstone of everything considered as binary logic.

Ayurveda

The Lost Knowledge of Kashmir

Hindus have lived in Kashmir for more than 10,000 years. The name Kashmir derives its origins from the name of Rishi Kashyapa, one of the Sapta Rishis, or 7 Great Rshis, as described in Vedas (Sama Veda verse 2.218-221).

Over the course of repeated and systematic genocide, persecution, and invasion which continues to this day, Hindus were mercilessly killed and their knowledge burnt to ashes.

Today Hindus in the valley of Kashmir are less than 2% of the total population.

Today, Education is known to be the key factor to enabling upwards socioeconomic mobility, and the strongest means of removing poverty. The right education is crucial to the well-being, stability, and growth of not only every child, but to humanity as a whole.

The Gurukul System is known to be the knowledge- transmission system of Hinduism - one of the pillars which kept Sanatana Hindu Dharma alive and standing, as the world's most ancient, living civilization.

Through KAILASA's Dept. of Education, the Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism, JGM HDH Bhagavan Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam, the Gurukul System is being revived in its entirety.

Gurukul - "Living in the Guru's Home"

The Gurukul System is rooted on
the "guru-shishya sampradaya", or
the living lineage of the Guru-
disciple relationship.

After decades of study on the physical, chemical, and biological uniqueness of meditative states and Enlightened beings, it has been found that in the normal waking state alone..their brainwaves show that they are in a complete meditative state, despite being fully active and engaged.

In the world of athletics, this state is known as the "being in the zone" - a GLIMPSE into the peak of focus, cognitive function, attention, and coordination, to name a few.

Rather than a glimpse, Enlightened beings casually walk, talk, and engage with life settled in this peak.

Recent studies have also found that we imbibe the body language, behaviours, and patterns of those in our environment- not just on the behavioural level, but to the depths of the neurological layer.

This is also known as the “mirror-neuron effect”.

In this way, there is no better teacher than the Enlightened Guru, who (as per modern science) exists as the superconscious, biological, reproducible anomaly.

However, through centuries of Moghul
Invasions, Colonialism, and continued
persecution against Hinduism and Hindu
Tradition, this science of knowledge
transmission has been diminishing at an
unprecedented rate.

After careful study in the Colonialism Era, it was found that the Gurukul System was standing as the backbone and stability of the Hindu Civilization.

The Macaulay Education System was imposed on India after this revelation.

With the systematic destruction of Hindu Universities and Gurukuls, goes also more than 80% of Hinduism's Indigenous knowledge.

“Our English schools are flourishing wonderfully ... The effect of this education on the Hindoos is prodigious. No Hindoo who has received an English education ever continues to be sincerely attached to his religion ...

The Hindoo religion is so extravagantly absurd that it is impossible to teach a boy astronomy, geography, natural history, without completely destroying the hold which that religion has on his mind. ...

It is my firm belief that, if our plans of education are followed up, there will not be a single idolater among the respectable classes in Bengal thirty years hence.

And this will be effected without any efforts to proselytise, without the smallest interference with religious liberty, merely by the natural operation of knowledge and re(f)lection.

I heartily rejoice in this prospect....”
