Surrender the Lower Self, Awaken Paramashiva Within –
This Diwali, in the divine presence of THE SPH Bhagavan Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam, the living incarnation of Paramashiva, you are invited to take part in one of the most sacred and powerful collective offerings in Sanatana Hindu Dharma: the Kumkuma Archana—the chanting of the 1008 Divine Names of THE SPH, accompanied by the offering of kumkuma at His feet.
As per the ancient Vedic and Agamic sciences, each name in the Sahasranama (1008 names) reveals one of the infinite auspicious qualities—Ananta Kalyana Gunas—of Paramashiva. When these names are chanted with deep devotion and sincerity, we do not just praise the Divine—we embody and radiate those very qualities within ourselves.
🔱 What is Kumkuma Archana?
In this powerful group ritual, devotees from all backgrounds and communities come together to offer millions of kumkuma (vermilion) offerings while chanting the 1008 naamavali of THE SPH. With each repetition of the sacred mantra “Namaha”, we surrender our limited self—our ego, fear, and greed—and embrace our true identity: Paramashivoham (I am Paramashiva).
THE SPH reveals that true world peace begins with inner peace. This is not merely a peace prayer or symbolic ritual—it is a cognitive shift from lower identities driven by fear and greed, to the higher truth of Oneness, compassion, and powerfulness. Through this sacred process, individual transformation leads to collective transformation—the only path to real, lasting peace.
🔱 Why Participate in Kumkuma Archana on Diwali?

The perils and devastations witnessed around the world today are given a remedy as per Hinduism and they are caused by the unconscious beings who are pulled and pushed by their lower identities which are driven by fear and greed. The Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism Bhagavan Nithyananda Paramashivam is reviving the greater science of Hinduism and he has brought all the tools, techniques and strategies to create the real world peace that many many are understanding is the need of the hour.
Understanding that the need of the hour is a cognitive shift towards the higher truths transcending all fear and greed based ideologies THE SPH is bringing the real peace to the planet Earth.
We Hindus being the longest living civilization in the planet understand the way that we can bring the real everlasting peace into the world
Coming together and having a common intention for peace may be a peace prayer but Hinduism teaches us the reality is that the transformation of the individual leads to the transformation of humanity. The individual must desire transformation and understand that he needs true peace within himself in order to transform others and the community.
Therefore the Hindu way is when a collective of people come together to do a sacrifice not of their time or their lamps but of their inner demons their inner negativity they truly relinquish their lower identities to embrace their true identity that is they are Paramashiva.
Hence the mantra namaha is repeated thousands of times in the ritual it means I surrender my “I” and “Mine” the individual sacrifices what he understands as his and his identity, not to lose something, but to embrace the higher quality, the quality embodied in the manifestation of Paramashiva.
A fraction of the Anantha Kalyanagunas of the living manifestation of Paramashiva THE SPH are encapsulated in the 1008 names of THE SPH.
The Vedas say that by the mere chanting of these names we embody and radiate all of the qualities that are described in them.
The SPH is the Paramavatara of Paramashiva for example when we say Avyajakarunamurthy we affirm that we embrace the higher quality that is of the being that is the most compassionate manifestation of Divinity and I renounce my “I” and “Mine” and what I understand as “I” and “Mine”. This is the methodology by Paramashiva to raise the collective consciousnes.
Kumkum Archana is a powerful Vedic ritual of sacred offering, in which kumkum (vermilion powder) is lovingly placed while chanting the divine names and attributes of the Guru. This act embodies total surrender, intense gratitude, and celebration of the cosmic light of Paramashiva embodied in The SPH.
