Guest guest Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 Dear Mr.Sriram Dhyanalinga is conscecrated by Sathguru Jaggi Vasudev at the Isha Yoga centre, situated in the foothills of Velliangiri hills.it is a divine and blissful experience and apart from it Sathguru has also conscecrated a rasalinga inside a theertha kunda in the same premises. You may please access the following link for more details. ? http://www.dhyanalinga.org/about.htm ? regarding the pradishta method, the following is an exerpt from the material available in the website.? Consecration The most important aspect of a temple is the energies of its deity. The process of enshrining this energy in such a way that it is available to the visitor is called the prathista or the consecration. Basically, there are two kinds of consecration processes - mantra prathista and prana prathista When consecration is done through chanting of certain mantras ? and performing certain yagas and yagnas ?, it is called mantra prathista. Deities so consecrated constantly require poojas and other rituals to maintain its energies. In contrast, prana prathista is done in such a way that the energies are locked. The deities, then, maintain their energies at a constant level and do not require performing of rituals or any means of re-energizing In the Dhyanalinga, through an intense process of prana prathista, energies of all the seven chakras ? were raised to the very peak and locked to prevent dissipation over time. Hence there are no poojas or rituals in the Dhyanalinga. It is expected that the energies of the Dhyanalinga will not suffer dissipation for at least 5000 years. At the base of the Dhyanalinga is a tub filled with etheric substances, called the 'Veerya sthana', comprising mainly mercury solidified through methods of Indian alchemy. There is a cylindrical column at the center of the Linga about one inch in diameter, called the Linga Randra, which contains a copper tube filled with mercury, called the Linga Danda. The consecration process lasted over three years and people involved in the consecration underwent intense sadhana, overcoming the limitations of the body and the mind to energize the Dhyanalinga. The practices and processes took them to realms beyond the physical and mental dimensions. They sustained certain states of samadhi, where contact with the body was minimal. They also embarked on a Karma Yatra across different parts of the country, where their past bondages were dissolved in heightened levels of awareness. Usually, during prana prathista, people involved in the consecration use their own physical and energy bodies as tools for the process of the consecration. As a result, it becomes difficult for the people involved in the consecration to retain their physical bodies after the consecration process is over. The consecration of the Dhyanalinga took a heavy toll on Sadhguru's body. Until the very end of the process it was not guaranteed that Sadhguru would retain his physical body. Finally when he did, it was a much-damaged body that he was left with. Doctors and specialists could not make out the cause of the damage or suggest any course of remedy. Ordinarily, they would classify some of the conditions that they came across in Sadhguru's medical reports as impossible or clubbed under the generic category - cancer. Subsequent test reports seldom showed adherence to any predicted pattern and left the doctors baffled as to how he was even alive. ? regards ? muthaiah --- On Wed, 3/6/09, sriram <sriram_sapthasathi wrote: sriram <sriram_sapthasathi Siva temples with mercury linga - need help Wednesday, 3 June, 2009, 2:34 PM Dear members, I am looking out for Siva temples having mercury (rasa) linga installed.

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 Dear Sriram namasthe. There is a place called tirumullaivaayil near avadi, en route to tiruvallur, near Chennai. There is a mercury linga. As per the stalapurANa, when the king rulling this area , was trying to clear the mulla vanam( hence the name thiru mullai vaayil) to make a path for him army, the sword of the accidently fell on this linga, and blood oozed out of it. While the king repented for his action, the Lord told him that HE wanted the linga to he in this form. So even today, one finds the top portion of the huge linga with a very deep dent and there is no abhisehka to the linga in the garbagraha. To keep the Lord cool, the linga is always covered in chandana , save one particular day in the year, when the abhisehka happens and again HE is covered in chandana. ( the shrine is called vaduvudaiamman samEtha mullai vana naathaswAmi.) All abhishekhas happen only to the rasa linga in a small shrine in the second prakAra of the temple. I am not aware of the process of concecration here. will try asking them next time I visit there. Being a very old temple and administered by the Govt etc, I am not sure if the current people there will know this. Will revert in case I get any information. I have heard that the dhyanalinga of vellayangiri( by Guru jaggi vaasudev) has been concecrated by a very specific process by this guru and quite a few of his disciples who were in this path, couldnt hold their energy levels for long and hence had to leave the body. It finally happened due to HIS and this guru's guru's grace. srI harI Gopi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 Dear muthaiah & gopi, Thanks a lot for your valuable information. I would plan to visit these two places this year. Dear gopi, the mullainathar also remind me of another siva temple with similar name near Papanansanam district which sports with Garbharakshambikai temple. Here too, the siva is called Mullaivananathar. Am i right? reg, sriram , Gopi <antarurjas wrote: > > Dear Sriram > > namasthe.

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 Dear Sriram, I have my own views regarding pratishta. There is Garbha Rakshna Nyasam which is a must to energise the land on which the temple is to be built and then the main idol to be energised. This is the best method where both mantra, tantra, yantra are combined with the drawing of the divine energy and transmitting the same to the land and the moolvar. After energisation the material used for this purpose is fixed at a place above the head of the moolavar at 45 degree vision from its eye, so that none will be able to have any possibilities of touching it or approaching it. The power of the idol is not either in the idol or the gopura kalasam as is understood. The concept is not real. Regarding the mercury linga, please note that when mercury is placed on copper it oxidises. That is why any gold leaf laid on copper with mercury oxidises and becomes extinct in a matter of 4-5 years and the entire gold is eaten away in that process. Further what presently believe as pure mercury linga is not so and it is made out of some mercury waste solids from factories. This can be tested by rubbing such mercury on a white cloth, when a black line or sludge will appear on the cloth. I am writing this information not with a view to hurt anyone but only to expose that instead of worshipping the divine in one's own heart, why we go after everything on earth. Name and form are inseparable and when one calls the Divine from the bottom of his/her heat, the divine manifests and blesses the person. May all enjoy the divine bliss for ever.

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 Sri Gurubhyon Namaha I do agree with you that we should not go after forms, but not every one is as capable as you to see god formless, everything is well said in books that god has no form and he is all pervading and Aham brahmasmi etc, this is not possible for anyone and everyone till you realize it and can you comprehend it, i believe there are a very very few people that you can count on your fingers who are capable of this, till the point that we reach a stage close to that we canot but keep praying to god that has a form. So i believe that only after someone has matured enough would be able to realize it and one who can pray to the formless need not go in search for anything but at all times be happily immersed in brahmanada.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 Pranams The concept of Linga itself is " Aru-Uruva " (formless form).it is considered to be one of the best forms toretain divine energy for a very long period of time. morover, when Linga pradishta is done byYogis they pay utmost attention to details and that `s why aagamas talk about the size and shapes prescribed for lingas and also say, such prescriptions are not applicable for the pradishtas done by Gnaanis and Yogis who do it with a certain calculation. i again quote from www.dhyanalinga.org: The Science of the Dhyanalinga Dhyana, in Sanskrit, essentially means 'meditation' and 'linga', means 'form.' When a person comes to a deep state of meditativeness within himself, the spiritual energy of the person naturally takes the shape of a Linga. It is with this understanding that Lingas came to be revered and worshipped in India right from the pre-Vedic times. A linga is a perfect ellipsoid. Although generally associated with Shiva in the mythology, scientifically, this shape is the only shape that can serve as a perennial storehouse of energy. The linga is created in such a way that even those who do not know meditation can experience meditation. This is a science: it does not belong to any religion. Whoever comes within the sphere of the Dhyanalinga has the power to reach the peak of consciousness. Imbibing Dhyanalinga does not require devotion. One can approach it with devotion also, but even if there is no devotion, one can experience inner transformation just by being receptive and available to the energies of the Dhyanalinga. There is a belief in India that if one wants wealth, one should visit a certain temple, if one wants health, one should visit another temple and so on. This belief is there because, generally, only one aspect of life is enshrined in a temple. In the Dhyanalinga, all the aspects of life are enshrined together in the form of the seven chakras. " The core of every galaxy is always an ellipsoid. A perfect ellipsoid is what is referred to as a linga. So the first form, from un-manifest to manifest-when it begins to manifest as creation-the first form that it takes is always the form of an ellipsoid. And from our experience we know if you raise your energies to a certain pitch, the final form that your energy takes before dissolution is also that of an ellipsoid. So the linga is seen as a doorway to the beyond, from both ends. The first form of manifestation is an ellipsoid. The final form of dissolution is also an ellipsoid. So because the A and Z of creation happen to be the linga, it is seen as a doorway to the beyond. " - Sadhguru Bring your gang together. Do your thing.
