On July 29, 2026, during the auspicious Guru Purnima celebrations, The Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism Bhagavan Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam issued an Executive Proclamation establishing Abhayam Sarvabhūtebhyoh, a global initiative to create sovereign safe zones dedicated to the protection of persecuted peoples worldwide. The announcement was made during a grand celebration with participation spanning over 80 countries, with over 200,000 devotees, disciples, volunteers, KAILASA's Ministers, and Members of Parliament attending, and the event was streamed live across more than 130 networks globally.
The humanitarian initiative provides immediate refuge, sustenance, and community to persecuted populations, indigenous communities, and displaced persons, without distinction as to race, religion, caste, gender, or nationality. In delivering the Proclamation, The Supreme Pontiff stated: "By offering refuge, I extend the enlightenment ecosystem of KAILASA, wherein each being is recognized and treated as Paramashiva. I hereby proclaim absolute refuge and protection for all beings. This is my Guru Purnima blessings to humanity."
The Proclamation addresses six converging global crises identified by The Supreme Pontiff. These include displacement, with UNHCR reporting over 120 million forcibly displaced persons worldwide; economic insecurity, with the World Bank reporting nearly 700 million people living in extreme poverty; educational deficit, with UNESCO reporting over 770 million adults lacking functional literacy; public health, with the U.S. Surgeon General's 2023 Advisory identifying chronic loneliness as a mortality risk equivalent to smoking 15 cigarettes daily; food insecurity, with the FAO reporting one-third of global food production lost or wasted while more than 700 million people experience hunger nightly; and environmental degradation, with the FAO reporting annual forest loss exceeding the land area of Portugal and 8 million metric tons of plastic entering marine ecosystems each year. Additionally, spiritual displacement is noted, with Pew Research Center reporting over 1 billion people identifying as religiously unaffiliated.
Under the Proclamation, KAILASA will provide humanitarian assistance including shelter, food, and housing through its diplomatic missions and monasteries; education through the re-establishment of the Gurukul model offering holistic instruction in sciences, wellness, agriculture, and the arts, open to all ages; psychosocial support through community-based programs centered on belonging and emotional restoration; rule of law and governance administered in accordance with Dharma, with protection of vulnerable populations as the primary metric of governance; freedom of religion or belief guaranteed under Article I of the Constitution of KAILASA; and environmental stewardship through initiatives in organic agriculture, reforestation, and animal welfare via a Goshala-based sustainable economy.
Concluding the Proclamation, The Supreme Pontiff affirmed: "I make this vow before all. As the living embodiment of Paramashiva, KAILASA shall serve as permanent refuge for every persecuted being." This initiative marks a significant step in addressing global humanitarian crises, offering a comprehensive model of refuge that integrates spiritual, educational, and environmental dimensions.
