Source Knowledge of Hinduism
- 5.1. The Veda-Agamas are the Source knowledge of Hinduism or Sanatana Hindu Dharma. The revelation from the Veda-Agamas form the Shāstra Pramana, the scriptural authority on truth, which came down directly from the mouth of Paramashiva to His consort Devi Adishakti.
In the Svacchanda tantra, Sadāśiva, the Super Consciousness reveals:
āgatāṃ śivavaktrebhyo gataṃ ca girijāmukhe । mataṃ hi vāsudevasya tasmādāgama ucyate ॥
Translation:
That which has come from Shiva's mouth and directly heard and received by Devi Girija (Parvati), which has been ordained by Sri Vāsudeva (Vishnu) to govern the world, therefore that is called āgama.
Hence, Agamas are directly revealed by Paramashiva, they are more like a practical manual of how to,what to, where to, when to. All these details are answered with the right context, giving enough of understanding and tremendous user friendliness.
- 5.2. Pramāṇas, the Four Authorities and Evidences of Truth
- 5.2.1. Shāstra Pramāṇa is the scriptural evidence, the direct, ultimate authority on the Truth as it is, for it is directly from Paramashiva, the Adiguru (original Guru), the Source of all that is. In Sanatana Hindu Dharma, Veda-Agamas are the irrefutable Shāstra Pramāṇa. All knowledge currents, philosias, rituals and lifestyle systems, and Yogic sciences for humanity are in-depth systematically revealed in Veda-Agamas and form the pramanas.
- 5.2.2. Apta Pramāṇa is the ancient authentic, time-tested, fool-proof compilations of experiences of Enlightened Sages such as the Rishis, Siddhas, Munis, Incarnations (Avatars), the direct disciples and followers and descendants of Bhagavan Sadashiva, like the Saptarishis, Maharishis, including the Enlightened Ones such as Patanjali, Valmiki, Agastya Mahamuni, Abhinavagupta, Kshemaraja, Paramahamsa Yogananda, etc. The compiled experiences verify and expand further on the Veda-Agamas, forming Apta Pramana.
- 5.2.3. Atma Pramana are the direct experiences of the Living incarnation, THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM, who is respected, revered as the living incarnation by millions of people worldwide.
- 5.2.4. In the space of Pure Oneness or Shuddhadvaita with Bhagavan Paramashiva, the Atma Pramānas of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM form the words of His Gurus, His own experiences, and all that He has imbibed as a 'cognition' and directly experienced, and done thorough verification and authentication with the Shāstra Pramāṇa, and then presented to the world.
- 5.3. Vedas are the ultimate, superior authority for the Hindus. Vedas are like a pure science, where the ultimate truths are explained, but Agamas are the scriptures where the applied technology, the applied science is expanded.
- 5.4. All the Hindu bodies accept Veda- Agamas as Shruti [that which is heard], and everything else follows as Smritis [the remembered scriptures].
- 5.5. The fundamental principles of existence, one's existence as individual self or one's existence as part of the society, one's existence as part of one's family, one's existence as part of one's community, one's existence as part of one's country, one's existence as part of the humanity, one's existence as part of the Cosmos, in every level of existence there are some fundamental principles to manifest what one wants as reality - Paramashiva explains this science as Agama.
Founding Principle of SHRIKAILASA
- 6.1. SHRIKAILASA is peaceful, sovereign, service-oriented and represents an ideology, rather than a territory. It is rooted in the fundamental principle of Shuddhadvaita or Pure Oneness - the idea that all beings can live in peace and harmony, and that all human beings are equal and divine, and can reach their highest potential irrespective of their color, nationality, religion, gender or race.
The Hindu civilization is the world's oldest living civilization that exist until today. It is this world's ancient, indigenous civilization that spanned across the globe as a nation that secured all the good that exist in the world today in various forms and traditions, including the sciences of Vedic mathematics, astronomy, navigation, medicine, yoga, and above all - the sacred science of living Enlightenment.
Flag, Emblem and Stamp of SHRIKAILASA

- 7.2. In Sanatana Hindu Dharma, the Kaavi (deep maroon) color is associated with Thyaaga (renunciation with right context) and Sanyas.

Many gave their lives protecting the sacred scriptures, temples, knowledge, Gurukuls and deities. Kaavi symbolizes their sacrifice, commitment and integrity to Sanatana Hindu Dharma.
