The Adiyogi statue is a 34.3-metre-tall excluding plinth, 45-metre-long and 7.62-metre-wide statue of the Hindu deity Shiva with white Thirunamam at Coimbatore in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu, which has been recognized by the Guinness World Records as the "Largest Bust Sculpture” in the world.
One can easily go to this place as transportation is simple.. through railways, roadways or flight. I had taken flight and we can easily get a cab and the drive is 1.5hrs from the airport. They charge around Rs.1,050/- to only drop near Dhyaana Linga.
Dyaana Linga
The bags are checked and later kept with them. No mobiles, cameras, bags are allowed. Only a small purse is allowed inside. After the check in, the way leads to Linga Bhairavi(Fire of the Feminine). Here they give you Neem leaf as prasadam and one has to consume it.
Linga refers to Shiva, the Primordial God of Energyand Bhairavi is His consort. The joint name is the result of old sages trying to represent both the deities in one depiction, the Linga bearing Bhairavi as an image. One sad thing that is happening in the world is, women are either becoming like Barbie dolls or they are trying to become like men. They have jealousy, masculine ambitions and other nonsense, but they don’t have that feminine fire. That is what a woman could add to this world, that she is like a fire. Linga Bhairavi is a big-fire woman, not a small-fire woman. She is not a doll, she is not a man, she is feminine to the core.
Dhyanalinga is more oriented towards your ultimate wellbeing. Immediate wellbeing is also packed into it, but for people who are seeking health, prosperity, and these kind of things, Linga Bhairavi will be far more responsive. But she also has the spiritual dimension attached. If you give yourself deeply into the process, even if you went there in search of material wellbeing, slowly she will take you into that.
One must observe complete silence in this place be it Linga Bhairavi temple or Dyaana Linga.
Theerthakunds:
Later there is Surya kund and Chandra kund, which are energy pools that melt away karmic blocks, and that allow you to experience Dhyanalinga. We can take a dip in one of the two Theerthakunds (energized water bodies) on the premises. These pools are energized by rasalingas, which have been consecrated by Sadhguru. The Chandrakund, for women, is consecrated with a slightly feminine energy and the Suryakund, for men, is more masculine in nature. The entry fee is Rs.20/- They provide a dress for ladies to take a shower and then enter the kund. We can come back and change our clothes and then go to Dhyaana Linga.
"The holy dip in ice cold water made the mind and body calm and devoid of tension. So peaceful."
Then we enter the Dhyaana Linga. Dhyana” in Sanskrit means meditation and “linga” means the form. Dhyanalinga is a profound meditative space that does not ascribe to any particular belief or faith, and requires no ritual, prayer or worship. A powerful and unique energy form, Dhyanalinga is a doorway to enlightenment and spiritual liberation. In the metaphysical sense, Dhyanalinga is a guru, offering spiritual seekers the opportunity to do spiritual practices in the utmost intimacy of a live guru, something traditionally available only to a few.
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
Experience:
We are allowed inside this room after a bell sound for every 15mins. There is complete silence in there. When we sit for meditaion, our body shivers and there is a feel of vibration in us. This can only be felt personally than explained. Its a differenct experience. I sat for 30 mins and when I came out, could feel bliss!!! Nothing but peace and happiness within. One MUST definitely experience this!
AdiYogi statue:
Located in Coimbatore, Adiyogi statue has already been recognised by the Guinness Book of World Records. 2.5 years went into designing the statue, and the face is made up of small pieces of metal put together, which is a first-of-its-kind.
This towering statue is set in the backdrop of verdant lush greenery and the Velliangiri hills, which further makes it an intriguing spot to visit.
It’s interesting to note that its height of 112 ft, in fact, denotes 112 ways to attain freedom, or moksha, which is basically a theme in the yogic culture. It is also believed that the height symbolises the 112 chakras, the focal points of the body, which are used in meditation.
The statue was built to take forward the idea of promoting yoga, and the name also suggests the same. It is called Adiyogi, which means the first yogi, and Lord Shiva is known to be the originator of yoga.
By 6.30pm booked a cab back to airport and flew back. Even after months, feel that bliss when I sit down and think about this place. My first solo trip that gave me confidence, peace, happiness.
