[ three step Dhyanalinga]
The three steps that rise beyond the Dhyanalinga Thorana (temple arch) symbolize the three qualities of the mind – Tamas, Rajas, Gunas. The unusual height of these steps forces the visitor to press the soles of their feet on the pebbled surface which in turn activates certain nerve centers in the body – this is a form of preparation to make a person more receptive to the energies of the Dhyanalinga.
