As an experiential realization of the truths of life, spiritual life manifests in Kailasa on the individual and collective level the pure Consciousness, state, space, powers, being of Paramashiva the ultimate. This manifests in daily living in various forms aligned to the tattvas (principles) of life and the vows a member has chosen to take, lifestyle the member has chosen to live in accordance with the Vedagamas, through which his or her whole existence becomes a continuous celebration of life in all its dimensions and auspiciousness.

  • 6. A ministry also possesses infallibility in teaching when the ministers gathered together in a council exercise the magisterium as teachers and judges of faith and principles who declare for Kailasa that a doctrine of faith or principles is to be held definitively; or when dispersed throughout the world but preserving the bond of communion among themselves and teaching authentically together with THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM the ultimate truths whose experiential understanding is given by THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM, they agree that a particular proposition is to be held definitively.
  • 7. No doctrine is understood as defined infallibly unless this is manifestly evident.
  • 8. A person must believe with integrity, shraddha (authenticity) and devotion all those things contained in the Vedagamas, written or handed on, and at the same time proposed as divinely revealed either by the solemn magisterium of Kailasa or by its ordinary and universal magisterium which is manifested by the common adherence of the citizens of Kailasa under the leadership of the sacred magisterium; therefore all are bound to avoid any doctrines whatsoever contrary to them.
