COIMBATORE, JUNE 27
The 25th consecration day of the Dhyanalinga at the Isha Yoga Center in Coimbatore was celebrated with much fanfare on Monday (June 24). The festival featured mantra chants from Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity, and Islamic Sufi hymns, dedicated to the occasion.
Dhyanalinga is a profound meditative space that does not subscribe to any particular belief or faith and requires no ritual, prayer, or worship. A powerful and unique energy form, Dhyanalinga creates the possibility for every human being who comes within its sphere to experience life in its totality.
