Consecrated Space
Sadhguru is the author and designer of several unique buildings and consecrated spaces at the Isha Yoga Center, which have gained wide attention for their combination of intense sacred power with strikingly innovative eco-friendly aesthetics.
▵ Linga Bhairavi
Those who earn the Grace of Bhairavi neither have to live in concern or fear of life or death, of poverty, or of failure. All that human beings consider as wellbeing will be theirs, if only they earn the Grace of Bhairavi.
– Sadhguru
▵ Spanda Hall
As you go into higher levels of meditation, you come to a state of Spanda – intense, unmanifest energy – before you literally recreate yourself.
– Sadhguru
▵ Theerthakunds
Essentially, Suryakund and Chandrakund are energy pools that melt away karmic blocks, and that allow you to experience Dhyanalinga.
– Sadhguru
▵ 112 Feet Adiyogi
Adiyogi is here to liberate you from disease, discomfort, and poverty – above all, from the very process of life and death.
– Sadhguru
▵ Adiyogi Alayam
The Adiyogi Alayam is specially consecrated to allow one to experience Hata Yoga and other yogic practices in their full depth and dimension.
– Sadhguru
▵ Dhyanalinga
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.
