Temple of Anandeshwar
- Ashram, Bangalore
On 1 st of January
2007, Swamiji performed a grand kumbabhisheka – first
holy bath - to the temple of Sri Anandeshwar at the ashram
in Bangalore.
Built with granite stone and along similar
lines of the Arunachala temple of Tiruvannamalai, this temple
is being built at a rapid pace with the love and devotion
of devotees and disciples of Nithyananda. It beholds an energy
field pregnant with the Cosmic Energy.
The presiding deities of the temple – Sri Anandeshwar
and Anandeshwari, made out of the five metals namely: copper,
bronze, measuring 7 ½ feet in height and weighing
2 ½ tonnes, went through a grand procession in South
India, offering darshan to crores of people, before
entering the temple. They were consecrated through prana
prathishta – a method of consecration by which the
Existential energy is instilled in the deities – by Swamiji,
on 1 st Jan 2007 . Bearing the profound distinction of being
consecrated by an Enlightened Master himself, these deities
exude the Cosmic Energy, creating an atmosphere where mere
existence is meditation. Just being here heals one at the
physical, mental and spiritual levels.
This temple is the energy hub of the ashram.
It offers a space for the spirit to soar and experience the
all-pervading Energy. The energy field is strengthened through
continuous spiritual practices by ordained brahmacharis of
the ashram. Vedic chanting, powerful fire rituals, specially
designed pujas and other offerings, happen here
continuously. Up to 1008 varieties of food items are offered
here on special occasions.
Envisioned as a spiritual nerve center of the
Universe, this temple is already being celebrated and experienced
by devotees and visitors with great devotion and zeal.
Around the sanctum, work is proceeding to complete
the temple structure and fulfill this grand vision. In order
to expedite this process, you may contribute towards this
and be a part of this imposing manifestation.
