Isha Yoga Center Suryakund
At the Isha Yoga Center in Coimbatore, Shri Sadguru has consecrated two Theerthakunds on the premises. Theerthakunds are energised water bodies. Taking a deep into Theerthakund cleans negative energy from our energy systems and helps to enhance receptivity towards Dhyanalinga’s grace. Isha Yoga Center has a Suryakund and a Chandrakund. The Suryakund is consecrated especially for Men so it is more masculine in nature. The Chandrakund is specially consecrated for Women. The Chandrakund is consecrated slightly with feminine energy. These water pools are energized by ‘Rasalingas’ which have been consecrated by Shri Sadguru. In Shri Sadguru’s words “Essentially, Suryakund and Chandrakund are energy pools that melt away karmic blocks and allow you to experience Dhyanalinga”.
The Suryakund is embedded 20 feet below the ground level. A descent of massive steps approaches this Theerthakund. This Suryakund contains 3 Rasalingas and lies underneath a stunning 20 ft brass and copper sculpture of the Sun.
Naga Shrine At Suryakund
Shri Sadguru says, “Naga is an important form in accomplishing physical resilience and mystical access. Venom can become the Elixir of Life in the Right Hands.” He also says that the energy of the Naga is Vyana Prana, which means that it has a preservation quality. It stops the ageing process, heals the body, and strengthens your defences against toxins and pollutants that enter your system through your food, breath and thoughts. Increasing one’s Vyana Prana also strengthens one’s immunity. Adiyogi wears Naga around his neck to symbolise how possessing Naga’s energy might make one a powerful being.
At the right side after entering Suryakund there is a small but energetically powerful Naga shrine. It is a powerful space with a beautiful black Naga statue that is consecrated by Shri Sadguru. A devotee can offer flowers, neem leaves and dhoopam to this Naga. After taking holy deep in the Suryakund, a devotee should visit the Naga shrine to touch the statue and take his blessings. Then proceed to Shri Linga Bhairavi Devi Temple and the Dhyanalinga Temple.
