Coimbatore: Devotional music and multi-faith chants marked the 21st anniversary of the consecration of Dhyanalinga, the largest mercury-based Linga in the World at Isha yoga centre in Coimbatore.
On June 24, the day began with the chanting of "Aum Namah Shivaya" by Brahmacharis at 6AM and ended with Nadha Aradhana, a sound-based offering at 6:10 PM.
Dhyanalinga was consecrated by Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev on June 24, 1999, after three years of an intense process of Prana Pratishtha, a rare form of consecration with life energies. At 13 feet 9 inches, Dhyanalinga is the largest Linga in the World.
According to a release, "All the seven energy centers (chakras) have been raised to their highest peak and locked making the Linga a powerful live presence that induces a meditative aura in anyone who enters its precincts. Dhyanalinga does not ascribe to any particular faith or belief system nor does it require any ritual, prayer, or worship. It is open to people of all faiths and is housed inside a large dome built from nearly 300,000 bricks and herbal additives without the use of cement, steel or glass."
Usually, thousands of people visit the Dhyanalinga on the Consecration Day. But, it is presently closed to the public due to the Coronavirus pandemic. The day-long chanting and the celebrations were live streamed in audio form to enable worldwide participation.
