THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM (SPH) BHAGAVAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM is the reviver of KAILASA—ancient, enlightened Hindu civilizational nation & head of Sovereign Order of Kailasa’s Nithyananda—sovereign entity under international law serving as the supreme governing body of Hinduism. KAILASA is a "sovereign subject of international law"—possessing distinctive attributes of juridical statehood derived from SPH’s inheritance of unbroken succession & revival of 3 ancient Hindu sovereign states—Surangi Samrajyam, Swargapura Suvarna SJP, Shyamala Peeta SJP & 18 sovereign Hindu ecclesiastical historical institutions that receive customary recognition as per both UN Convention on Diplomatic Relations (preamble & art. 47.1) & Consular Relations. KAILASA’s NITHYANANDA HINDU UNIVERSITY (KNHU) revived by SPH is world's largest Hindu University with extended campuses in 150 countries—reviving the most ancient knowledge transmission system originally established by Paramashiva Himself.
