How to Experience the Dhyanalinga Dhyanalinga has been created as a very powerful presence so that the vignanamaya kosha or etheric body of a person is touched just by being in its sphere. To experience the Dhyanalinga, sit and gaze at the linga for a few minutes. Then close your eyes, palms facing upwards, resting upon your lap. The Dhyanalinga requires no pooja, prayer or worship. There is no need to concentrate or try to meditate. Just sitting silently for a few minutes is enough to make even those unaware of meditation experience a state of deep meditativeness. To be most receptive to the Dhyanalinga, the best way is to be there as an offering – to make an offering of oneself. Taking a dip in the Chandrakund or Suryakund before entering the Dhyanalinga can also help enhance one's receptivity to the Dhyanalinga's energies. 

To maintain the silence and sanctity of the space, a bell rings every 15 minutes to indicate when you can enter and leave. Please stay for at least 15 minutes to allow yourself to experience the energies of Dhyanalinga. Nada Aradhana Nada Aradhana is an offering of sound that takes place twice a day from 11:50 AM to 12:10 PM and 5:50 PM to 6:10 PM. The etheric blend of flowing vocals, singing bowls, and melodious instruments enhances one’s receptivity to the energies of the Dhyanalinga. A Linga, or a perfect ellipsoid, can be energized in various ways, to serve different purposes. It is one form that when energized, becomes a perennial storehouse of energy. The Yogic science of making a Linga is based on this knowledge. Dhyanalinga is the distilled essence of the Yogic sciences. In the Dhyanalinga, energy has been pushed to its highest point and locked through an intense process of prana prathistha. As Sadhguru describes it, the Linga form allows energy to be brought to the highest intensity at which it can still retain a form. Beyond that, it moves into formlessness. The physical form of Dhyanalinga - the black granite stone - is just scaffolding for this energy form. Even if this were to be removed now, the energy form that exists there cannot be destroyed. It is eternally present and available to all. Architecture In ancient temples, the structure that houses the Deity is as important as the Deity itself. The parikrama or the walkway of the temple, the garbhagriha or the innermost shrine of the temple, the shape and the size of the idol, the mudra held by the idol and the mantra (sound) used for the consecration of the temple are the fundamental parameters of a temple. These elements are matched and built according to a certain science based upon an understanding of energies, thereby creating a powerful energy situation and facilitating inner transformation. The energies of the Dhyanalinga have been consecrated to last for more than 5000 years without any dissipation. The elliptical dome that houses the Dhyanalinga is 72 feet 4 inches in diameter and 33 feet high. It was built without the use of any steel, cement, or concrete but with brick and mud mortar stabilized with lime, sand, alum and herbal additives.  The simple technology used is this – all the bricks are trying to fall down at the same time! But the way the bricks are aligned and balanced, they can never fall. The nature of this design ensures a lifespan of at least 5000 years for the dome. A Labor of Love: The Dhyanalinga DomeSadhguru reveals the secret behind the architecture of the Dhyanalinga dome, created to be in harmony with the planet. ArticleFeb 22, 2013 Questioner: Sadhguru, why is the Dhyanalinga encased in the shape of a dome? Is there any scientific reason? Sadhguru: Anything that radiates, whether it is light or heat, always tends to radiate in the form of a circle. If we had built a square building, if you are sensitive, you would feel a dislocation in that space. So, it had to be a round building for the Dhyanalinga. The way I compromised the Dhyanalinga complex design is one aspect of my life which still makes me cringe. Every time when I walk through, I know what it could have been and what we have done because of our own limitations of budget and time. Initially, I wanted to put it about 60 feet below the Earth and surround it with a big pool of water. That would have been the best way to do it. But when we were building, I had to complete it in a certain span of time because my life was going through a certain phase. Due to time and budget limitations we hurried it up and so I had a plan B. That was also too expensive, so I settled for plan C. Now we are trying to do everything possible to beautify Plan C and make it worthwhile because for who He is, there is not enough ornamentation for him. We are striving to do what we can. Architecturally, the Dhyanalinga dome is very unique. Usually, domes are semi-circular like in the Taj Mahal or Gol Gumbaz, but we decided to build an elliptical dome. To make a section of an ellipse stand the way it is standing without the use of any steel, concrete, or cement was the whole challenge. That is why the dome is unique. If you casually look it, it may look like a hemisphere, but it is actually a section of an ellipse. We wanted it that way because a linga is also an ellipsoid, so an elliptical dome is the best complement for the linga’s energy.

The Sanctum SanctorumAs one enters the dome, one is immediately drawn to the immense presence of the Dhyanalinga. Standing at a height of 13 feet 9 inches, Dhyanalinga is the largest mercury-based live linga in the world. ArticleNov 3, 2017 As one enters the dome, the eye is immediately drawn to the immense presence that is the Dhyanalinga. Standing at the heart of the space – the sannidhi or sanctum sanctorum – Dhyanalinga measures 13 feet 9 inches in height and is the largest mercury-based live linga in the world. Dhyanalinga is crafted from a single black granite stone of the highest density found in Asia. Sadhguru, while speaking about past attempts to consecrate a Dhyanalinga, recounts: “One more Dhyanalinga in Bhojpur, near Bhopal, almost reached the phase of completion. However, it cracked during consecration due to a delay in the locking of energies.” To prevent such an episode from occurring here, Sadhguru with a single resounding clap in a state of heightened energy created a minute vertical crack running along the linga. Dhyanalinga rises out of the avudaiyar, a receptacle in the shape of a seven-coiled serpent. The avudaiyar has been designed such that the total length of the avudaiyar is 13 feet 9 inches, the same as the height of the Linga. Water constantly drips on to the Dhyanalinga from the gold-plated copper dome hanging directly overhead. This ensures that the Dhyanalinga is always wet which enables the meditator to easily receive the energies emanating from it. The steady drip of water as it falls on the linga resonates through the dome and gently draws one into a deep state of meditativeness. Surrounding the linga is the jalaseema, a lotus adorned water body that has a cooling effect and gives the impression that Dhyanalinga is floating on water.
