“The Indian temple was never created as a place of prayer.”

Questioner: I have been to many powerful places, such as Kailash and Manasarovar, and have had very intense experiences. I have equally intense experiences at the Dhyanalinga. Could you explain a little bit more about the Dhyanalinga, Sadhguru?

Sadhguru: As I said before, the first form that creation takes on is that of an ellipsoid. Today, it is common knowledge in cosmology that the core of every galaxy is an ellipsoid. It is from this core that the galaxies are spinning out. And from our experience we clearly know this: if you take your life energies to a certain level of intensity then the final form that your life energies take is that of an ellipsoid. Before dissolution happens, it will take the form of an ellipsoid. So from this we know that the first form and the final form are both ellipsoids. Before creation, it is un-manifest; when creation begins to happen, it becomes an ellipsoid, and then everything else happens. When it begins to dissolve, the final form that it takes is that of an ellipsoid. After that, there is dissolution. So the first and the final form being an ellipsoid, this form is seen as a doorway to the beyond. It is both the front door and the back door.

So linga-making became a very deep science in the Indian subcontinent. It is not just here. Almost everywhere in the world there are lingas. In Africa, there are a variety of terracotta lingas which are used for occult purposes. The Native Americans in South America have used lingas for similar purposes in a different context. In Europe there used to be many lingas before the Inquisition. One which has survived is in Greece. It is known as the “Navel of the Earth.” This was consecrated about four thousand years ago by Indian yogis, and it is one that is still maintained, but now they have moved it from its original place to a museum.

Some of the African lingas are in American museums today. What used to be established in a certain type of temple, people dug these out and took them to their museums, because they found them interesting and thought they were phallic symbols. These are very powerful forms which are created with a definite purpose. There are varieties of lingas, created for a whole variety of purposes.

The Dhyanalinga is unique because it has all the seven chakras established in it. If you look at it one way, it is like a live being, the highest possible human being, the most intense possible human being, without a physical body. The energy body of a person has been created; or in yoga, we would say, he is like Shiva, the highest possible intensity. If you go anywhere beyond that, it will be dissolution. So the Dhyanalinga is in that kind of a state. It has the energy body of the highest possible being.

This may be too weird for you, but actually, in theory, it is possible for us to create a physical body for him.
