Trip to Isha Yoga Center, Coimbatore

After a long wait I managed to visit Isha Yoga Center on 15 January, 2008 (on the day of Pongal).

It was a great ride from city centre to the Dhyanalingam…with the road covered on both sides by complete greenery. It was a great feeling to watch the mountains getting closer and closer as you reach Dhyanalingam.

We were welcomed by the volunteers at the entrance and they patiently briefed us about the place and what exactly we need to do.

Since photos were not allowed inside the temple, we took some pictures outside…

After that we (me, Mom and Dad) went to the Theerthakund had a great experience inside the theerthakund. When I went, as soon as I entered into the water a powerful shock went through my body (well the water was very chill… )

As I got down the steps, for each and every step there were different reactions in the body as slowly part of our body was getting immersed into the water.

In the fourth step I stood for a long time as the water was very cold and the current was heavy. But I immersed into the water at the fourth step, only to get my body inure with the cold. After that went to the last step and reached the lingam in the centre.

After few minutes left the place and got ready to enter Dhyanalingam. Once again we were welcomed by volunteers with their warm smile and they explained what to do inside Dhyanalingam. We spent at least 30 to 40 minutes inside and then left for shopping

I bought nice calendars, some CDs and T-shirt from the shop.

Started at around 7 pm and reached the place where we were staying (inside the city) by around 8 pm.

On the whole, the trip was pure fun with lots of fantastic experiences. Expected to be there again very soon…check this blog for more updates
