❤❤❤
THE DHYANALINGA IS A POWERFUL AND UNIQUE ENERGY FROM CREATED BY SADHGURU FROM THE ESSENCE OF YOGA SCIENCES. SITUATED AT THE ISHA YOGA CENTER, THE DHYANALINGA IS THE FIRST OF ITS KIND TO BE COMPLETED IN OVER 2000 YEARS. THE DHYANALINGA IS A MEDITATIVE SPACE THAT DOES NOT ASCRIBE TO ANY PARTICULAR FAITH OR BELIEF SYSTEM NOR DOES IT REQUIRE ANY RITUAL, PRAYER, OR WORSHIP.
THE DHYANALINGA WAS CONSECRATED BY SADHGURU AFTER THREE YEARS OF AN INTENSE PROCESS OF PRANA PRATISHTHA. HOUSED WITHIN AN ARCHITECTURALLY STRIKING PILLARLESS DOME STRUCTURE, THE DHYANALINGA'S ENERGIES ALLOW EVEN THOSE UNAWARE OF MEDITATION TO EXPERIENCE A DEEP STATE OF MEDIATIVENESS, REVEALING THE ESSENTIAL NATURE OF LIFE.
A SPECIAL FEATURE OF THE DHYANALINGA COMPLEX ARE THE THEERTHAKUNDS, CONSECRATED SUBTERRANEAN WATER BODIES, ENERGIZED BY RASALINGA. A DIP IN THESE VIBRANT POOLS SIGNIFICANTLY ENHANCES ONE'S SPIRITUAL RECEPTIVITY AND IS A GOOD PREPARATION TO RECEIVE THE GRACE OF TEH DHYANALINGA. THE WATERS OF THE THEERTHAKUNDS ALSO REJUVENATE THE BODY AND BRING HEALTH AND WELLBEING.
THE DHYANALINGA DRAWS MANY THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE EVERY WEEK, WHO CONVERGE TO EXPERIENCE A DEEP SENSE OF INNER PEACE.
