ISHA YOGA centre exp

Its a marriage trip to coimbatore for one of my collge friend alagu sakthivel who is my close friend in those days..Reception at eve.. So planned a trip to the nearest places...Went to maruthamalai temple and then on return went to ISHA yoga centre... i thought the place will be like a large space to do yoga and thought of what special in that place...But on seeing that centre, am completely wrong.. ISHA Yoga centre which is spread across 150acres space with greenish environment and peace...

The most attractive on first look i felt is that the name board on every places there. just a simple wooden board with letters that are not printed instead they made it on board itself and the font is so attractive...

On entering the place, you can see a very vast space mosaic base and a statue of metal BIG nandhi.. I didnt see this much big nandhi ever...Everybody took photograph with that.. The view is superb like nandhi is in a sitting position and surrounding are coconut trees...
When you enter inside the centre, there will be a short 10mins video session about that yoga centre... once that is over, you are free to roam there... very neatly maintained grass land with flowers everywhere... To enter the main dhiyana linga dome, you should wash your legs or to take bath there.. everyone took bath and after long confusion we too decided to take bath there... they are giving dhoti for men and saree for womens to wear... its really a new kind of experience there... on wearing that red dhoti we went to take bath...

There is a place Theerthakund which is to take bath.. that area is at underground of 50 steps down and at the bottom 6 feet deep area full of water for bath... they arranged like a falls environment like water flow from that top to that bath area... water is very chill u cant imagine.. its shivering on entering that place... highlight there is, at the centre of the bath area, there is a linga placed that s fully immersed in water.. everybody can hug that linga and can pray inside the water...

On coming out of it, we can change to our dresses and allowed to go to the dome... its very big dome structure(Bigger than birla planatorium dome) made up of 2,50000 bricks... to enter that dome, u have to sit outside and maintain silence.. 15mins once, they will ring a bell so that next set of people can go in to pray there... inside the dome, at the centre, a very big dhiyanalinga placed and peoples are allowed to sit round the linga to pray for 15 mins... as it is a fully covered dome, even when anyone coughs, echo will come...

At the entrance of every big statue, they place a upside down lady statue which is in a position of praying that god.. its very different to look...in this centre wherever you go, a pond like setup is there with real lotus flowers..

Inside the centre itself a canteen and ISHA shops are there to buy..Lot restricted areas are there inside for YOGI's and cottage is also there for stay...set of peoples are staying there for month to fully involve in their prayers and yoga...

Keep aside the speech and scandals of ISHA and apart from that, the place and exp here is too good...Really a very new experience and must see place...
