DHYANALINGA YOGIC TEMPLE


DHYANALINGA YOGIC TEMPLE









The Sacred land of India has been witness to the lives of countless siddhas ¹, seers, saints, sages, and enlightened beings. The Dhyanalinga Yogic Temple, situated in Coimbatore, India, is very much a part of this glorious tradition.

Dhyanalinga is the distilled essence of yogic science. It does not ascribe to any particular belief or faith. It does not require any pooja or worship. Just sitting silently for few minutes within the sphere of Dhyanalinga is enough to make even those unaware of meditation experience a state of deep meditativeness and feel the divine energy that overflows from this glorious form.

Dhyanalinga was consecrated by Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev, a realized master, mystic and yogi, after three years of intense process of prana prathista. Measuring 13' 9", Dhyanalinga is the largest mercury based live linga in the world. In the metaphysical sense, Dhyanalinga is a guru, an energy center of tremendous proportions. All the aspects of life are enshrined in the form of seven chakras energized to the very peak and locked. A doorway to enlightenment and spiritual liberation, Dhyanalinga offers a sadhaka ² the opportunity to perform sadhana ³ in utmost intimacy with a live guru, - an opportunity which is traditionally available to a select few.

Situated at the foothills of the Velliangiri Mountains, Dhyanalinga is a colossal entity of eternal vibrations. The earth colors, the natural granite, and the fusion of irregular surfaces and shapes that form the Temple creates an ethereal ambience and an apt atmosphere to receive the grace of the Dhyanalinga.

¹ - siddha: one who has attained perfection or mastery over a certain mystical aspect of life
² - sadhaka: a spiritual seeker who has undertaken spiritual disciplines, usually under the guidance os a spiritual teacher
³ sadhana: spiritual practices which are used as a means to realization

SILENCE IS THE WAY ("SHAMBHO")

Shambho

The flying bird
the crawling worm
Are faces of same norm
though of different form

The early bird makes its life
the early worm meets its death
Is this life's cruel norm
you missing life's charm

Life and death are but one realm
Heaven and hell a conceited sham

Don't you fade your life in futile race
Heed to the wisdom of boundless Grace

Shambho

love and blessings
sadhguru
 


The sacred wheel
Has lost its axle

You and me have to toil
Before we meet the soil

sadhguru
