Dad and Amma at Velliangiri (Isha Yoga)
Friday, March 02, 2007
Instigated by thots of francy, decided to go Isha Foundation, Velliangiri on my recent visit to Coimbatore. Visitors to the yoga center can take a dip at Theerthakund, which houses a lingam made of Mercury which is solidified by prayers. [Freezing point of Mercury is -37.9 'C]. Even though myself and dad had difference of opinion on the principles of Sathguru, one thing we started to talk about was the power of mercury & we felt the vibrant energy in us or the part of body which got wetted in Theerthakund. The Theerthakund is a pond housing 666kg of 99% pure Mercury in solid form in a brass container, which is at 30 feet depth from ground. The walls were painted with the stories from puranas, build with big blocks of stone from the hills of vellaingiri.After the dip, the visitors can visit dhyana lingam. Sculptured with mordern art, for me it never looked like a place for worship, but definitely it is a place for yoga, meditation where you can "Find the inner in you".
