DHIYANALINGAM. . .

Dhyanalingam is an all faith, multi-religion temple established by Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev. The presiding deity is a lingam(an elliptical form often symbolizing Lord Shiva), which is known as Dhyanalingam, and is said to emit divine energy. It does not ascribe to any particular religion or faith and everyone, irrespective of any faith, is allowed to visit the temple to take part in the divine energy.

A large ellipsoidal dome covers the sanctum sanctorum. The dome was constructed using only bricks and cement stabilized mud mortar without, steel or concrete.^[3]

The dome is 76 ft (23.2 m) in diameter and 33 ft (10.1 m) in height. The lingam is 13 ft (4 m) in height made of high density black granite.

The Sarva Dharma Sthamba, located at the front entrance, functions as an icon of singularity, with the sculptural reliefs and symbols of Hinduism, Islam, Christianity, Jainism, Taoism, Zoroastrianism, Judaism, Buddhism, and Shinto inscribed as a universal welcome.

Visitors coming to the Dhyanalinga, can further their experience by attending this daily initiation to the universal and powerful mantra "AUM." This meditation is known to have transcendental qualities. Meditation can bring peace and balance to the one’s system, and is known to relieve people from numerous physical and mental ailments when practiced regularly.

The Dhyanalinga offers a unique set of activities throughout the year aimed at creating and promoting universal values and religious harmony. Daily activities include non-lyrical chants, offered by a talented group of singers, originating from various countries and cultures. These chants allow one to become more receptive to the meditative quality of the space. The focal point of Isha Yoga Center, the Dhyanalinga Yogic Temple is rapidly gaining in its global reputation as being one of the most sought out places for meditation.
