ADI YOGI ALAYAM
CONSECRATION
– on 24&25th, December, 2011
Thus spoke Sadhdguru
The
Isha Yoga centre at Velliangiri is always abuzz with some fantastic activity.
Momentous things are routinely happening there. If activity, planning,
execution and successful inauguration are what Management Success is all about,
you can find plenty of it there. You can find the Master CEO , Sadhguru Jaggi
Vasudev, always guiding his disciples from the fore front here.
And,
these action-packed events remain etched in the memory of his disciples and Participants
for a long, long time. One such memorable event was the consecration of Adi
Yogi Alayam on the 24th &25th of December,2011. It is
roughly around this time last year. This year, another Great event is scheduled
to take place in December 3rd -4th week, which we will
cover after the event.
There
were about 10000 participants at the consecration ceremony. Being a participant
of such an event at velliangiri was of course a fantastic experience for these
10000 disciples – as is obvious from the rapturous comments of the
participants. The architecture of the Alayam is a marvel in itself. Some of my
family members were there as participants; though, I saw it on all other
available channels and methods.
Anyone
who was a participant in the event or had seen it later on the CD would be
certainly impressed by the enormous preparation that had preceded the event.
Isha
volunteers are not merely students of Yoga, they are disciples and devotees of
Sadhguru. Only a disciple can be so disciplined in body and mind. Only a
devotee can surrender himself or herself so completely to the purpose and to
the Guru.
I
had covered the Event of the consecration of Adi Yogi Alayam in one of my earlier
Blog Posts very briefly at
But,
as I hear Sadhguru’s various addresses to the participants at the event at
different times (from the CD of the event), I am certainly tempted to
re-produce some of his words here. As you can all realize, all these are essentially
CONTEXTUAL, and must be seen as such. But, many of these are also thought
provoking much beyond the context. This is the specialty of Sadhguru always. Some of these are Great quotable Quotes,
with deep value in many contexts. Some of them bring back the sheer Nostalgia of
the events in the minds of the participants and also those who have seen the
event on CD.
Not
every word of Sadhguru is here – for sure - which is also not practical. But, I
have placed here, those that I thought, would evoke your memories of the event again
and make you relive the same.
So
readers may enjoy these words of Sadhguru, keeping in mind the Context. Readers
may also see the Adi Yogi Alayam consecration event on CD, at Isha web site or You-tube,
as is available to them, to catch the mind-blowing events once again.
Here
we go :
Ø You
are not going to witness the consecration; you are going to participate in the
consecration process; so, it is a different level of responsibility; it is a
different level of process; It is a different level of existence altogether;
Ø I thought
nobody should.., ..all those willing,..they should not miss this..possibility and
this privilege of being able to manifest the divine. Rather than always looking
up to it; being able to manifest it in some way..
Ø all
privileges..always come with responsibility.
The higher the privilege, the more responsibility and involvement it
demands.
Ø So
now you are in the consecration process not as a witness.. but as a participant
Ø A
time has come ; you got to be here, here, here and here. There is no here and
there…because, knowingly or unknowingly, you have come as a participant (in the
consecration process) not as a witness.
Ø Not
to receive the prasadam, but to make it happen..
Ø There
is a difference between going to the temple and building the temple. This is
like building the temple. It is a different game.
Ø We
want to bring back classical yoga in its
purest form..not the studio yoga..not the book yoga. not the kind of things
that are being done in the world.. proper classical yoga .which is a
phenomenally powerful science.
Ø Yoga
made easy.....A monkey knows this!.. a monkey knows that ... if he hangs from the tree this way,... this
way, the muscles will develop..so, this is yoga made easy..
Ø There
is no investment in the concrete science of yoga..benefits, people are trying
to reap!
Ø so,
one fundamental reason is, we want to re establish classical yoga....we want to
build people who are willing to invest their life into the profoundness of
yoga…..not getting fancy benefits out of it.
Ø If
you jump off a mountain, head down, you will be doing seershasan for some
time..yes!
Ø So,
To bring back that dimension..and that is not going to happen by instruction only...
a phenomenal energy is needed...otherwise, yoga cannot be taught..without a
phenomenal sense of energy, no yoga can be taught...
Ø if
you teach yoga without creating a vessel of energy , then, that yoga is not
Yoga..that’s a farce.. that farce is going on everywhere in the world..
Ø Words
are not yoga. If you listen to something, that must happen...in the system.
Otherwise, that is not yoga..to make that happen, you need a powerful
space..otherwise, such things will not happen..
Ø One
thing that is said about Yogasutras.... the Hatayoga.. is - Sukham, sthiram,
asanam. An Asana which is comfortable and stable. that’s the asana
Ø So,
Stability,.. balance is the most important aspect. Whatever we wish to do.. How
far one goes, how high one climbs.. is not a question of strength alone.. Not a
question of intelligence alone..Not a question of knowledge alone..Not a
question of external conduciveness..stability..balance..is the most important
quality..if this one thing is not there...with all the other things, you still
may not make it anywhere, because, you don’t have the necessary balance..
Ø When
one wants to dispense his own energies, when one wants to throw his life energies
all over the place, having a stable balance, ...a seat is most important..
Ø Stability
becomes the most important thing when you throw yourself all over the place..
Ø So,
Whatever offer I make to him, how do I offer to him without me taking it on. (
on why he was also partaking cobra poison...)
Ø Venom
worked out very well for me a long
time ago
Ø Venom
did not work against me. Venom worked for me... and, it continues to work for
me.
Ø Too
much of anything kills you..even oxygen kills you...Pongal can kill you..too
much pongal can kill you..believe me...Yes...it does..probably, pongal kills
more people than cobra’s venom..yes, it does..
Ø Above
all, I didn’t want to offer it to him unless,
I am willing to take it too.
Ø If
you are made in a certain way, energy-wise, if you are in a certain way, if you are vibrant beyond a point, then the
Cobra’s venom works in a completely
different way on the system...
Ø A
snake is a very perceptive animal. You cannot call him an animal...because he
is above Siva.. he places him above himself..
Ø We
are living in a certain kind of world, where... there is no room for
profoundness..
Ø Sometimes,
I wonder why the hell am I still around..because. there is no room for
profoundness
Ø The
more profane you are, the better you are in this world today..
Ø when
people can even pride themselves that they have no Attention span and they are
very proud of it..they have very short attention span..and they are very proud
of it..I can’t believe what’s happening..to the humanity..I am from another
time..unfit in this world probably..
Ø Everybody
has seven chakras only..Adi yogi also has seven.. it is not the same thing...
Ø if
you go by the usefulness of life..you will lose your life..
Ø an
insect may have a purpose...a tree may have a purpose..but, the Universe has no
purpose..the creator has no purpose..
Ø If
you go with certain logic... of utility... you will miss the fundamentals.. you
will miss the ultimate nature of life..
Ø There
is no competition for him.. he is not in the race... (Speaking of Dhyana linga)
Ø These
things should always be done only with small groups of people, individuals
who..have a certain intimacy with you..Otherwise it is risky.. I assumed this intimacy
with all of you..and it is truly wonderful that, without any aberration all of you went through this..in a
wonderful manner..and .. (Sadhguru
congratulating the thousands of participants & volunteers)
Hope, you have enjoyed Sadhguru’s words at different
times of the consecration event. Kindly go ahead and watch it again on CD, or
whatever means you have.
With Hearty Greetings
To all Sadhguru’s disciples
