Isha Adiyogi Centre
The last time we visited Isha Yoga Centre it was closed due
to COVID-19 restrictions. My daughter was upset also because she would not have
been allowed inside as she had not completed 10 years then.
So as to makeup for her dejection and my own curiosity we
decided to visit again.
So around 1 pm we started by Taxi for the Centre and passing
through Perur we covered the 34 kms in almost an hour by reaching around 2 pm.
Parking for own vehicles cost 30 Rs.
After getting down from the Taxi we started walking towards
the Shiva bust sculpture. There was a good enough crowd and we made one
Pradakshina of the bust. The floor was hot and after the Pradakshina we made
our way towards the place where Linga Bhairavi, Dhyanalingaa etc were situated.
These can be reached by taking the path behind the bust sculpture. One needs to
deposit mobiles and Valuables, Bags at the counter and proceed inside as
Photography is not allowed here.
After walking along the path along areca nut plantations one
reaches the Sarpa Sthal behind which is the ‘Suryakund’ where males can take a
dip in the water and touch the Lingams immersed in the water. This is a
man-made creation. Towels and ‘Mundu’ is provided. After that we move towards
the ‘Linga Bhairavi’ temple. The temple was closed as the curtains were drawn
and we could only see the place from small openings at the temple door.
From here we went to the ‘Dhyanalinga’, which is one of the
best place for meditation. Inside a dome one feels immediately at eternal
peace. This is followed by ‘Chandrakund’ and finally we returned back to the
Adiyogi sculpture.
Evening at 7 pm there are some songs played out and around
7:20 we have Light show on the Sculpture.
It was a wonderful experience with scenery all around
