"Just sitting silently for a
few minutes within the sphere of Dhyanalinga is enough to make even those
unaware of meditation experience a state of deep meditativeness" - Sadhguru
The Isha Yoga Center- Dhyanalinga is a Yogic temple located 30 km from Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu
The Dhyanalinga is set amidst the
lush dense forests at the foothills of the Velliangiri Mountains, the first of
its kind to be completed in over 2000 years. This powerful meditative space
does not ascribe to any particular faith or belief system nor does it require
any ritual, prayer, or worship.
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 creates an ethereal ambiance and an apt atmosphere to receive the grace
of the Dhyanalinga.
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.
Theerthakund:
A
subterranean tank located 35 ft (10.7 m) below holds a lingam immersed in
water. Followers claim that the lingam is made of solidified and 99.8% purified mercury. The mercury is said to have
been solidified at room temperature. Mercury has a Freezing point of −38.83°C
at atmospheric pressure, but ancient Indian alchemy claims to have techniques to do so.
These methods are said to have been used by yogis to solidify the lingam at
room temperature. People can take a dip in this water before they go to the
Dhyanalinga temple. A semi-circular brick vault covers this tank, the inner
sides of which have murals in pure natural dyes with its theme
depicting a Maha
Kumbha Mela scene.
Aumkar Meditation:
The Dhyanalinga offers a unique set of activities throughout the year aimed at creating and promoting universal values and religious harmony. Daily activities include non-lyrical chants, offered by a talented group of singers, originating from various countries and cultures. These chants allow one to become more receptive to the meditative quality of the space. The focal point of Isha Yoga Center, the Dhyanalinga Yogic Temple is rapidly gaining in its global reputation as being one of the most sought out places for meditation.
