Dhyanalinga Temple

The Dhyanalinga is set amidst the foothills of the Velliangiri Mountains, the first of its kind to be completed in over 2000 years. This powerful meditative space does not ascribe to any particular faith or belief system nor does it require any ritual, prayer, or worship. In June 1999, Dhyanalinga was consecrated by Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev, a realized master, mystic and yogi, after three years of intense process of prana prathista (process of energizing an object using one's own life energies). Measuring 13' 9", Dhyanalinga is the largest mercury-based live linga in the world. All the aspects of life are enshrined in the form of seven chakras, energized to the very peak and locked to prevent dissipation over time. It is expected that the energies of the Dhyanalinga will not suffer dissipation for at least 5000 years. THEERTAKUNDS The Dhyanalinga features two Theerthakunds, which are subterranean tanks with solidified mercury lingas immersed in water, built as preparatory tools to enhance one's spiritual receptivity before entering the Dhyanalinga. The Theerthakunds, are very powerful by themselves. It straightens out the energy or the pranic imbalances in a person, which leads to physical and mental well-being. Above all, it creates a tremendous receptivity to imbibe the energies of Dhyanalinga. They are open for Gents and Ladies from 7:30AM to 8:00PM NADHA ARADHANA An offering of sound to the Dhyanalinga, Nadha Aradhana is an etheric blend of vocals, singing bowls, drums and various other instruments amplified within the reverberating Dome, transporting one into the timeless space of the Dhyanalinga. The offering takes place twice a day, from 11:50 am to 12:10 pm and from 5:50 pm to 6:10 pm. These times are recognized as special sandhya kalas for meditators. A sandhya kala is a phase when nature undergoes certain transitions and makes a person more receptive to inner possibilities. AUMKAR MEDITATION Visitors to the Dhyanalinga can further deepen their experience by attending this daily introduction to the timeless and powerful mantra "Aum." This meditation is known to have transcendental qualities. It can bring peace and balance to one's system, and is known to relieve people from numerous physical and mental ailments when practiced regularly. Aumkar meditation is offered daily from 12:30 pm to 1:00 pm.

Sholayar Dam

Reviewed By Muguncjb2015 - Chennai (Madras), India

Sholayar Dam, in Tamil nadu state, is located at about 20 km from Valparai and 80 km from Pollachi. Actually there are two Sholyar dams exist at a distance of 20 km. The one in Tamil nadu where tourists are allowed is called Upper Sholayar dam. Whereas, the other is located in Kerala, called as the Lower Sholayar Dam. To access lower Sholayar dam one needs prior permission. Both dams are surrounded by Sholayar forest. I have visited both the dams. Upper Sholayar dam is one of the biggest in India. In fact, it is considered to be the second deepest dam in the continent of Asia. Ride along the dam side is really likeable. When you travel from Valparai to Chalakudi in Kerala you will cross this Upper Sholayar dam.

Balaji Temple

Reviewed By blackrosemurali - Dubai, United Arab Emirates

1. If you are visiting valparai means dont miss to visit balaji temple even you dont have believe in god. 2. This is the most peaceful spot in valparai. 3. We need to climb on the top of the hill to visit this temple, this is a private temple, we need to park the car and walk nearly one kilometre to reach the temple. 4. Clicking photos are not allowed inside the temple, there is a security keep telling you not to click photos. 5. During walking you can take pics before reaching temple which more pleasant. 6. I recommend to visit the temple on evening which open on 3pm to 6pm in evening and 7.30am to 11am in morning.
