They will take a saw and cut through the skull Liberation and release both happen in these temples This is a place where Sadhguru Shri Brahma stayed
00:18
Agasthya muni left his subtle body here with this linga Pebbles from around this mountain it literally wants to burn through your hand
00:43
Guptakashi is a powerfully consecrated place. Energywise quite a spectacular place.
This is a place where Sadhguru Shri Brahma stayed for a period of time.
01:01
Sadhguru Shri Brahma who was born in a small village in Southern Part of India - now known as Tamilnadu, in a small village called Vettaikaranpudur. When he remembered
01:28
his past and became restless to consecrate a Dhyanalinga. He walked across the sub-continent looking for the right people to create the right sense of strength and sadhana.
01:50
So at one point, he came with four young sadhakas, walked all the way from Rudra Prayag,
02:05
you had to walk and walk all the way, took these four young boys and went upto Kedar because they wanted to do their sadhana in Kedar... he thought anything less than that
02:27
wouldn't work for them, so he took these boys and went to Kedar. All of them being from South India where the climate is warm, so they could not withstand the cold nor did they have
02:45
down jackets. So they stayed there for a few days.
They couldn't make it. So they walked down to a lesser altitude.
As they considered themselves the very progeny of Agastya
03:07
they decided to settle here, in this same temple. They were housed here. They stayed here for over three and a half to four months.
They did their sadhana. Two of them made use of
03:30
the sadhana later on to attain to their fullness and they left. They shed their bodies and they left.
04:09
This is my kind of place. They are saying this was consecrated by Agastya muni himself over 6000 years ago.
It feels like it was done yesterday. Its just remained absolutely intact.
04:34
Thanks also to the people who are taking care of it now that they kept it without disturbing it. This is seen as the Naval of Cauvery because it's a mid-point.
So, they identified the exact
04:53
mid-point and Agastya muni consecrated a Linga which is originally actually made of sand mixed with some compound of those days - traditional compound. So, it is a Sand Linga which is still intact, not only physical intact, in every way intact.
05:18
It's believed that Agastya Muni left his subtle body here with this Linga. Somewhere near Madurai or Virudhunagar there is another place where he left his intellectual or mental body but he took the help of Karthikeya and took his physical body to Kailash
05:42
where Shiva was and left it there. That's a spectacular way of doing things in the end.
So, in some way, he is looking at Cauvery as a body or a living body and he established
06:00
the naval center here and in such a way that... that the upward movement of energy and the downward movement of energy, both happens in a proper way.
It's just blowing away
06:16
as if it was done away yesterday and it's incredible. This is...
this is our ancestry.
06:37
When I went to Kumara Parvat in Karnataka in Southern India, this place where Skanda left his body consciously. When he came south he helped Agasthya muni to establish
06:56
order and probably his association with Agastya muni cooled him down a little bit. He was an angry man because he thought world is unjust.
And this young warrior
07:16
had made up his mind wherever he sees injustice, he'll remove it by sword. He went about slaughtering so many people.
From north to south he came, then his association with
07:33
Agastya Muni probably cooled him down a bit, assisted him in his work, then went to what is today called as Kuke Subramanya or Gati Subramanya. He went there and he washed
07:50
his sword for the last time. I've been to this place many times.
It's... energy wise, it's one of the most invigorating places that you can see.
Then he went up the mountain
08:11
and there he left his body standing. This is the nature of a warrior, because he did not die in a battlefield, he left his body standing.
08:31
When yogis want to leave their body, they will sit down, usually cross-legged, because when energies begin to dismantle themselves, you need stability. So cross-legged posture
08:47
which gives you maximum contact with the floor upon which you sit is the ideal thing to do. Those who do it more towards the end of their life may find their cross-legged posture is not so stable as it was when they were young.
So they will lie down or semi-lie down
09:09
and do it. There are yogis who lie down in Shavasana and leave it, because there are other postures, some flaw is there.
But Skanda leaves his body standing. This is tremendous,
09:26
because when you have to uproot the life energies from the physical self, well, you need some stability in the body. To do it standing, it's extraordinary.
But that's what he did.
09:50
And when I went there, if you pick pebbles from around this mountain called Kumar Parvat, you will find all the pebbles are six-faced as if they're chiseled by machine, tiny pebbles,
10:05
all six-faced. They call Shanmukha lingas.
You take it in your hand, it literally wants to burn through your hand, it's like that kind of intense energy. So we went there, night we are supposed to camp here.
Everybody is trying to settle down.
10:24
I am not able to sit. However I try to sit, my body just springs up and stands.
They set up a tent for me, it is just four feet tall. I go and sit in the tent, my body just springs up dismantling the tent.
I just stood, simply because this man left his body standing.
10:45
And then we went up the mountain, there where on a rock he stood and left his body standing. This is the way it works.
And this he left some 8000-10,000 years ago and still they're active,
11:02
alive. You can't destroy him.
No way can you destroy this man because he will always be.
11:26
There was a seeress, a lady saint in India. Nobody knows where she came from.
She's less than five feet. Looking at her facial features I think she came from Nepal.
11:49
So she just walked on the streets in the southern most tip of India, which is known as the Kanyakumari. She just walks the street, if somebody gives something she eats.
Otherwise she just walks around. She came as a young woman and people were wondering
12:07
who she is and she was crazy, dancing and singing and crying, you know, on the streets. She goes to the beach and she sleeps on the beach generally and she just sits on the water and just floats around.
She's just floating on the water. So they saw this and then
12:33
people started worshipping her. Some people gathered around her but she never spoke, not a word.
So it so happened there is a mountain very close to this place and I was staying there
12:53
and somebody told me her name is "Mayamma". "Mayamma" means the illusory one, the illusory mother. So she is Mayamma and they said, "Mayamma's place is here"
13:09
and they showed me the picture. The moment I saw the picture I said, "I want to go there." So three of us - myself, Vijji and my girl was just maybe about 5 years of age and we drove down
13:26
and we went there. That happens to be a full moon day and they built a - she's already gone.
There's a small samadhi. They built a small grave for her.
We went there. The place is reverberating like crazy.
She is like bursting out of the concrete that they built around her.
13:47
This is fantastic place - little place. Then they said, "Today is pournami, stay back, we will...
we have some prasad. Night dinner they're serving for everybody".
I said, "definitely I will stay" and you know like, my girl was only 5, she just sat there near the samadhi and she just
14:11
went like this. She sat there for an hour with her head shaking, eyes closed, unmoving, because this place is like a magnet.
It just held her like that and the best thing is, this one little man who was devoted to Mayamma, her face, she lived outdoors for her whole life.
14:33
So her face is all weather-beaten and in a certain way, and she is a nepali kind of, you know the, features are little... mildly mongoloid, definitely not like South Indian.
This man is a
14:48
South Indian man. He's been so devoted to her, he came in front of me, his face has become exactly like hers.
I just looked at him and burst into tears. This is a devotee of the
15:05
highest order. Simple man, he's cooking and preparing this dinner, just an illiterate man, he's just working there, preparing food.
His face has become exactly like hers. She is
15:22
another race, this man is South Indian, his face has shifted itself exactly like that. It was so amazing seeing him, we spent the time there and also the next full moon night
15:37
I went there and we sent all our brahmacharis there to spend some time there and come. So devotion is that kind of thing.
If you dismantle the structures of your... who you are and you're completely absorbed into something, if that something is powerful enough
15:56
it'll just imprint up... upon yourself.
That is the idea of devotion, that is the idea of energy forms and devotion, so that you become that.
16:16
Kuta in Kannada means assembling. Mahakuta means a great assembling.
So I've been there, this place, it's a fantastic place. There are many ways to understand this.
I will not go in to
16:38
all the ways, let me talk about one simple way of looking at it is there are so many ingredients which make life here in this solar system. In this, if we are looking at it as a...
an energetic
17:02
possibility, we're talking about one hundred and fourteen chakras. So this is a Mahakuta.
This 114 represents everything that can be in this universe because of all the life that's happened
17:29
in this mechanism or system that we call as our universe, this is the highest form of life. It's reached its peak in terms of its physical evolution.
So all the qualities or all the dimensions
17:47
which can happen are here. So this is a Mahakuta. These 112 or 114 are represented by seven
18:09
dimensions. So normally we're talking about seven dimensions represented by seven chakras, it is actually 112 or 114 but we're talking about seven because we have segmented them
18:25
into seven categories or seven dimensions. If all the seven dimensions are there in a consecrated process, that is called Mahakuta.
18:43
A human being can exist here as a Mahakuta, that means the entire galaxy has become alive within you. These 114 are not just 114, the geometry of what this is has become in tune
19:05
with the larger geometry of the cosmos. So this has become cosmic. So he's calling a larger cosmic assembly also as Mahakuta. The entire cosmos is a great assembly of
19:26
celestial bodies. When this one reflects that, we call this also as Mahakuta.
So if anything is consecrated with all the seven dimensions of life, then in the yogic tradition, generally
19:45
it's referred to as Mahakuta, a great assembly of things because it's in cosmic in nature.
20:08
Wherever Shiva rested, those places were referred to as Kailash because his original abode is Kailash. Wherever he went and rested, generally those places are referred to as Kailash.
20:24
So this got labeled as the Kailash of the South. Because of this, variety of sages and saints, various types of yogis, mystics chose this mountain as their space to work with.
20:45
These mountains have witnessed a phenomenal amount of mystical work. It's very difficult to articulate these things.
21:09
Many siddhars and seers walked these mountains, spent a large amount of their time here and above all, for me, this is a mountain where my guru walked and he even chose to leave his body
21:27
upon this mountain on the Sixth Hill up there. So for me, it's like a temple, it's not like a mountain.
21:42
When we started looking for a space to set up or consecrate Dhyanalinga, once again we travelled all over and people went on pointing out all kinds of lands to me. Inside the city, outside the city,
21:58
here, there, that mountain, this mountain. I would see, everything is nice and everything is nice but this is not it.
So people were just getting frustrated, "will Sadhguru settle somewhere?".
22:16
Then one day, we were just driving this way and I suddenly saw the seventh hill - the peak - and we just stopped there in our tracks. From then on, it's...
it's like dead sure of everything. I just walked to this place and said, "This is the place." 11th day after that, it was registered
22:37
in Isha Foundation's name and there has been no looking back since then. Why I am saying this is, mo...
for the most mystics and yogis, what... what they have within themselves, what they know,
22:57
they never get to share with people. It's very difficult to find somebody with whom you could download everything.
So they generally go to those kind of spaces which are not easily accessible
23:19
to people but accessible enough, and they download all their knowing in the energy form, usually on the mountain peaks. This is the significance of Kailash.
Kailash mountains are the greatest mystical libraries... library on the planet.
There isn't another place like that.
23:40
This is a smaller repository - not in any way less in quality but a much smaller library. So there is a phenomenal amount of reverberance and vi...
and knowing in these mountains.
24:04
It's very difficult for a logical mind to understand, "How can a mountain know when I don't know?" Lot of rocks in this world know far more than anybody could know. If you come to Kailash,
24:19
it's so much like that. Even here, this is as good as anything - if you go up.
The mystical dimensions of life, which could not be logically expounded, which could only be experientially given due to lack of variety of situations which are needed to make
24:41
those things happen, they always chose the rocks rather than human beings.
25:03
There is a temple called Kashi Karvat in Kashi. But the basic practice at Kashi Karvat used to be - Karvat means a saw. So they will take a saw and cut through the skull,
25:22
the two lobes of the brain. You can actually go through this, except for the pain of the skin and what's on the surface, the skull doesn't have any pain.
And if you go slice between the bra... two lobes of the brain, there is no pain.
There is pain of outside injury, but there is no deeper pain.
25:49
So they cut through slowly and open up. People who have done sadhana to a certain extent but stuck somewhere, they burst out, and liberation and release both happen in these temples.
26:11
Traditionally we look at it this way - there are three points in your agna of transcendence this is called as rudra, hara and sadashiva. Sadashiva means eternally in that state. So, everybody is trying to get there.
But when your sadhana is not getting you there,
26:30
you're trying to use a mechanical help. So, they might have just sawed open a little bit.
But right now in the folklore here, they are saying, "they sawed you right through." Or may be once they were dead, once they left the body, they might have sawed through,
26:47
I don't know - that's out of ignorance. There is no need to saw through the body. They might have just sawed open.
It might have been small instrument to slightly surgically open up that space. Now it's been banned of course.
It's not about slicing through,
27:07
it is just opening you up enough. Only problem is, whether with a touch or a sawing or a whatever, whichever way, if
27:30
some sense of liberation happens to you when you still don't have the fundamental grasp and control over your systems,
27:56
the only choice you have is that along with this sort of liberation, you also shed the body. Because to retain the body, one needs a certain amount of control over the system.
And
28:19
without gaining that mastery, any attempt to make the energies reach the peak would mean liberation and release at the same time.
28:37
So it is unnecessary to move energies in a certain way, when people have no such intention in their life. They just want to live well, but now they are going into Karvat temple - No.
This is for people - at any cost they want to attain. So that's a different...
28:54
totally different inclination in an individual person.
