Siddhas, the Mystics of The Fire, are calling YOU.
Who is a Siddha?
Join us on this Journey to the heart of South India: Rituals, Reverence, Devotion & Gratitude
You are reading this because there is a call, an inner burning that can be burned even more with the sacred fire of the Siddhas; the mystics of Fire, so that the ego can be reduced to sacred ashes, from which the phoenix; the consciousness can take birth and fly the vast skies of No-mind; the pure potential of all possibilities.
The Siddhas are calling, YOU, to the abode of the unmoving light; the light of the Right Heart.
““You cannot differentiate if a Siddha is meditating or playing.” –Yogic Text”
A Siddha is the one who keeps pace with his feet. A Siddha is a wanderer, a Siddha is universal. A Siddha belongs to the whole world and the whole world belongs to the Siddha. All is his, and he uses all situations to transcend.
The Siddha is not interested in god; for the Siddha, God is a heartbeat. God cannot be known through reasoning. God can only be felt through the heart because God is a heartbeat of the whole.
You will have to find a synchronicity with the heartbeat of God within. You will have to fall in rhythm. You will have to attain to a kind of harmony.
Siddha are so mad about singing, chanting, dancing. Not reasoning, but dancing – because only in dance do you start falling with the heartbeat of the whole.
Only in dance does the moment of grace arrive when you are not and only God is. Only in dance does the separation between the mind and the body disappear – and you are one whole, one piece, all together, no more fragmentary, absolute connection with all.
The essence of the Siddha teachings:
Hasiba Khaliba Kariba Dhianam, Laughingly playfully meditate.
Tiratha — A Space Activated by the Siddhas
A special space that siddhas, the masters of time and space create, for those left behind who may need to ask something, to know something, which may be absolutely necessary for their spiritual progress, and without which they may go astray.
Seekers who don’t know what their future is, who don’t know the road ahead; so for needy seekers such as them special arrangements were created – they are known as Tirthas.
To access these spaces a special mantra is needed, a special fragrance is needed, to open the portal to access the presiding deity
When someone experiments in the right way with the inner fire, his body emanates a light. Such people were qualified to enter to create Tiraths. But such body light is only produced through special meditative practices. So the producing of that body light is itself the test of a Siddha.
If a seekers comes and drops all resistance and open the doors and windows of his/her mind, they can access the field that can change their reality. Its a sort of jumping board from where one can take a dive into the infinite ocean.
In a Tiratha, positive energy is flowing in abundance. Hundreds of people have traveled into the unknown from there and have created a path. It is as if they have made a path by cutting down trees and removing the bushes blocking the path, so that those walking behind them find it easier to travel.
Tiratha is a space where the currents are flowing from the body towards the soul, where the whole atmosphere is charged; from where people have achieved samadhi, from where people realized their enlightenment. Such places have become specially charged. In such a place, if you just open your wings of mind, without doing nothing else, your journey into consciousness will begin.
Tirathas – Radars to Connect With the Other Side
Tirathas work the same way as radars today— radars reach where the eyes cannot. Stars which cannot be seen with the eyes can be detected by radar.
Now through the tiratha, communication can be established between those who have left us, and with those from whom we have become separated. Tirathas were established by those who left for those who are still on the path – for those who have not yet reached, for those who can still go astray. These channels are only open to those who are in a certain psychic state of mind.
All tirathas have their own element, music, mantra and fragrance. In fact, all music was born in such places, and the music was originally created by seekers. Not only the art of music, but all dance originated in temples. Fragrance was also first used in temples. It became known that one could reach the divine with the help of music and fragrance.
What type of sound and what type of fragrance was harmonious with the temple, was decided through experience. Only a certain flower with a certain fragrance which blended harmoniously with a certain sound was used; others with different fragrances were prohibited.
And these further related with our human body. There are separate areas of fragrance within our body, and these are linked with our thoughts and emotions.
The interior of the temples were deliberately kept dark, resembling the primordial womb. It is believed that every mantra produces a particular type of inner light. How much light should be provided in a temple was decided on the basis of that inner light – neither more nor less. So a ghee lamp was used because it is not at all offensive and does not dazzle the eyes.
Sandalwood paste became popular in all temples. The place on the forehead where the sandalwood paste is applied is called the agya chakra. Practicing certain mantras produces an inner experience of sandalwood perfume, but the source of that fragrance is the agya chakra.
Whenever the third eye experience intensifies, the sandalwood perfume is given out, so the sandalwood perfume has become symbolic of that experience, hence we apply sandalwood paste to the forehead. When the agya chakra emits this fragrance there is a sort of coolness felt, as if you have put a piece of ice on the third eye.
Science of Ancient Temples of India
Radio waves are passing by all around us, but they cannot be picked up without a radio.
Exactly in the same manner, temples used to function as receptive instruments of the all pervading cosmic energy.The domes of the temples were based on the model of the sky. If one sits under the open sky and repeats a mantra, the voice will get lost, in the vastness of the sky.
Domes were constructed so that the resonance of the mantras can rebound on us.
Arunchala
Arunachala; the abode of the un-moving light; the light of the Right Heart.
Arunachala, the Lab of Shiva, consecrated mountain lingam, a spiritual router that seekers used to tune inwards.
The largest naturally-occurring lingam on the planet. Geologists claim the rocks of the mountain are almost as old as Earth itself.
Visit the caves of the Siddhas — enlightenment cave of Ramana Maharishi and the temples of Goddess and many other timeless sacred vortex centers of South India. Aruna means light and Achala – un-moving. The un-moving light, which is the inner light of wisdom.
In the Puranic and Vedic ages, lingams were consecrated as per the Tantra science along with recitation of mantras specific to unblock one or two specific chakras or energy vortexes, of the seven main chakras of our energy body. A consecrated lingam would induce a state of meditative stillness and a state of higher consciousness among those who sat in its vicinity.
Bow at the sacred Arunachala, do the circumambulation of the sacred
““As the moon derives its light from the sun, so every vortex on earth derives their sanctity from Arunachala.””
The dome is just a small, semi-circular prototype of the sky. It has the same shape as the sky touching the earth on all four sides. Whatever mantras are chanted under its canopy will not get lost as they would in the vast sky, because the dome will throw them back towards the chanter. The rounder the dome, the easier it is for the sound to travel back, and its echo increases in the same proportion. This amplifies the energy of that location, in which when a seeker comes and sits immediately access the altered space.
Arunchala – Machu Picchu Spiritual; Axis of the World
Ramana Maharshi was certain that Arunachala was the top of the spiritual axis of the Earth.
He strongly felt that there must be another mountain corresponding to Arunachala at the exact location on the opposite side of the globe on the corresponding pole of the axis. Machu Picchu is the closest known energy center-mountain that resonates great spiritual power. The ancient Inca site of Machu Picchu in Peru is at the other end of the axis passing though Arunachala and the center of the Earth.
There are striking similarities between ancient Inca beliefs and Indian beliefs. The Incas worshiped Machu Picchu as the manifestation of the Divine Mother Goddess of the Universe. They referred to Her as ‘Paachamama’, a name that bears a striking similarity to the name ‘Pachaiamman’ used as another name for Goddess in South India.
Circling Mount Arunchala
Giri Pradakshina – Circling around the centre axis of the world. An ancient practice of walking around the mountain to obtain the great merits.
It is said that undergoing the walk around the holy mountain removes sins, fulfills desires and bring spiritual freedom.
Typically, Pradakshina is done in bare feet, with the Hill on the right.
"Pra" stands for removal of all kinds of errors; "da" stands for fulfilling the desires; "kshi" stands for freedom from birth and death; "na" stands for giving deliverance through Giana (the yoga of wisdom).
The sages of the fire mention in the sacred text of Yoga,” Pradakshina; you walk one step it gives happiness in this world, two steps, it gives happiness in the next world, three steps, it gives the freedom from all.
After sunset, when the rays of the moon take over the skies, devotees start chanting and walking around the central axis of the world, chanting, bowing with tears in their eyes, they sing the songs of Shiva, the primordial sage.
The circumambulation begins and ends in front of Annamalaiyar Temple. The girivalam path is a well-maintained two-lane road with trees along both sides.
Along the route are many sacred energetic places. The most important are the Ashta (eight) Lingam temples, located roughly at the eight compass points around the hill. Each of the Ashta Lingam temples is noted for a particular boon. The Agni Lingam, is known for blessings of good health; Yama Lingam, for solving financial problems and granting long life; Niruthi Lingam, for childless couples to conceive.
ANNAMALAIYAR TEMPLE – FIRE TEMPLE
AT THE BASE OF THE HILL SITS ANNAMALAIYAR TEMPLE. OF THE FIVE ELEMENTAL TEMPLES TO LORD SIVA—AIR, EARTH, FIRE, WATER AND AKASHA, ALL LOCATED IN SOUTH INDIA—THIS IS THE FIRE TEMPLE.
At 25 acres, it is by one account the sixth-largest temple in India. It was described by the 7th-century saints Sambandar and Appar and was developed extensively from that time by the Cholas and subsequent dynasties. From the 17th century onward it suffered under Muslim and then British rule, but today it stands as a marvelous and well-kept example of Dravidian architecture, with a full slate of daily worship and festivals.
They went to such an extent to state that one can only qualify for Nirvana if one has, in one of their lifetimes, meditated in the Himalayas.
Like flowers attract bees, Aruncahala has been drawing mystics, masters, yogis, truth seekers and enlightened beings from time immemorial. One of the recent enlightened sages, Ramana Maharishi was awakened in the sacred cave of Mount Arunchala. That cave still carries the imprints of the explosion of the moment when he as a localized experience became the all non localized awareness, known as Nirvana.
He as a young boy left his home after he felt an insatiable urge to visit the hill on merely hearing his uncle utter the word ‘Arunachala’.
Ramana Maharshi called Arunachala the spiritual heart of the world, and never left it since the day he visited the holy hill.
Ramana Maharishi says,
““In the end everyone must come to Arunachala.””
His ashram, Sri Ramana Ashram, is located at the foot of Arunachala. The ashram brims
with the grace of the presence of Ramana Maharshi in the form of immovable calm that can be felt by anyone who visits the ashram. Elegant peacocks, spirited squirrels and monkeys, and revered cows dot the ashram besides mystics and the spiritually-inclined.
Expect synchronicity and introspection. At the time of his departure from his physical body when the sage went into Maha Nirvana, a bright light similar to that of a comet flashed and was observed above Tiruvanamalai till as far as Chinnai. It is the charming custom of this place to always refer to Ramana in the present tense, to acknowledge that he has not passed on, but is still living here on a subtle plane.
Ramana Maharishi’s teachings are summarized in one Vedantic Sutra, ‘Who am I?’
Our search is to find the Self. This sacred sutra is like the stick used for stirring the burning fire.
Gou Puja – Space of the Wish-fulfilling Cow
The land where cows are still worshiped
The land where elephants are still worshiped
The land where monkeys are still worshiped
The land where mountains are still worshiped
The land where trees are still worshiped
The land where sun is still worshiped
The land where moon is still worshiped.
And the list can go on….
According to Vastu Sastra (the Yogic Feng Shui), when a cow is shown reverence, it opens all pathways of prosperity. In her body, she holds the 5 elements in perfect balance and her milk is said to be the Ambrosial Nectar. This milk is the secret to the long life of ancient yogic sages.
On this Yatra, we will join as seekers who have come to open the space to the sacred wish-fulfilling cow to manifest every positive desire. A special cow veneration ceremony will be held — ancient ritual known as Gau Puja, where we will thank the cow for what she has given to humanity.
22 Wells of Rameshwaram (Energetic Wormholes)
Energetic Wormholes for Ancestral Healing
22 Wells of Rameshwaram
Whenever an evolved being leaves the earth, it’s his responsibility to transmit what he has found into someone who can keep sharing it.
If he don’t find someone of any caliber to hold it that wisdom is deposited into a well, lake, mountain or a cave.
We would be visiting the 22 wells of Rameshwaram Temple, which holds this energy. It's believed that all your sins are washed away and health regained after the bathing from all these wells.
These wells, these portals have been used to clear the ancestral luggage and baggage we carry in our genes. We carry these load from the past 7 generations, we are not living our life, we are living in the patterns of our ancestors, the same illness they had, we are having, same mistake they may have done, we are doing, the same emotional challenges they faced, we are facing. We never experience the true Self, we only experience a pattern that have been going in the genetic field. Ancestral healing is the first step to self realization and freedom from our emotions, we let go of the luggage through devotion, love and rituals. We thank the ancestors, the containers through them our being came to be bloomed. We not only work on our self but also our 7 generations of the past and help them to move on.
Dark Retreat - Entering the womb of the Goddess
Experience the esoteric practice of the Dark Retreat. Darkness repairs the body while light breaks it. An ultimate detox, enter the womb of the Goddess to break free from all that is holding us from breaking the patterns of the mind.
Chemistry of the brain alters
The Darkness environment dramatically alters the chemistry of the brain & rejuvenates the brain cells. Darkness activates Sahasrar, the 10th gate which corresponds to the Pineal gland in the Physical body. It is the remote control while you are on earth to navigate the reality of time & space.
The 10th gate from the prospective of the yogic science, establishes our connection with the original source and frees us from mental fatigue, negative muscle memory, depression and stress that we store in our cells.
Direct perceiving of reality is experienced, the naked awareness, not trapped in emotions and situations is experienced and sometimes visions similar to those seen in Ayahuasca are experienced. Eventually, we awaken within ourselves the awareness of the Source, we enter into the void, inner space, the realm of all possibilities.
Living Deity of Adh Shakti – Goddess Meenakshi Temple
We see the physical heart but not the subtle love that resides within; we may see the eyes, but not the subtle dreams that are born inside them. Similarly, we may see the deity as a physical object, but not the subtle living vibrations within.
The largest temple complexes in India, dedicated to the goddess Meenakshi (the fish eyed goddess) the incarnation of the goddess Adh Shakti — where she resides in full glory in a living deity.
The temple is a celebration of the divine union between her and her lover, Sundareshvara, Shiva. Every evening, Sundareshvara is carried to Meenakshi’s silver bedchamber in an elaborate procession before being returned to his own place at morning prayer.
The temple is a symbol of Dravidian architecture, known for its enormous size and lofty gopurams, or towers, which are enclosed by decorated pillars. Unique to the site are its four main entrances, each facing one of the cardinal directions. Thousands of vibrantly painted stone statues depicting animals, gods, and
demons line the walls of the temple’s 14 towers, the tallest of which is 170 feet. These are repainted and repaired every 12 years. The Hall of a Thousand Pillars, which doubles as the temple’s museum, also features an intricately carved sculpture on each column
Rameshwaram – Seat of Primordial Mystical Fire That Sustains the World
The jewel of south India, known as the edge of India was established by the great sage of the silver age, Lord Rama. The temple has the longest corridor among all Hindu temples in India. It is also one of the twelve Jyotirlingam Temples, the 12 sacred pillars of primordial mystical fire that sustains the world. This shrine, according to yogic time, has existed since Sat Yuga, the Golden Age.
Shiva – the primal teacher of humanity and the first yogi appeared here to Lord Rama and now energetically dwells in the Shivalingam established to commemorate.
Linga is a universal symbol for Ultimate Reality, a visible expression of the invisible. The metaphysics surrounding the linga finds its expression in Vedic and tantric texts, specifically in the schools of Srividya and Shaivism, which tell us that the linga is the highest reality, the source and locus of the manifest universe. This is the primal bindu from which All That Is exploded into being.
The Linga is seen as the hub of the universe, from which the created world emerges and to which it eventually returns.
One-fourth of the linga is submerged and the rest rises above the yoni, indicating that only a fraction of the Divine Light has become manifested.
The inner meaning of the Shivalinga is that there is an unmanifest male principle which is static consciousness, and an unmanifest female energy which is the creative force. When these two unmanifest forces embrace with a harmonious intent, the universe evolves in its manifest form. In symbolic terms, Linga and Yoni are the cosmic equivalent of pro-creation, the primordial principle of love.
Rameshawaram is also one of the 4 centres of Dharma established by Adi Shankarcharya, Char Dham where every seeker must go and bow to complete their human life. It’s the Mecca of the Hindu Dharma
The Bridge of Rama – Oldest Bridge on Earth
The Hindu tradition has long held the belief that this strip of land was a bridge built by their beloved deity Rama as described in the Hindu epic, the Ramayana.
The book that chronicles his life, the Ramayana, is a time honored classic. It tells of a time when the gods flew on ships through the air and of giants and monsters walked the earth.
Rama, in an attempt to rescue his wife Sita from the demon Ravana, assembled an army which included a large group of ape men, the Vanara.
Rama, unable to move his massive forces of ape men across the ocean, is advised by the sea god to build a bridge across the water. Rama enlists the help of the Vanara for its construction. The Vanara build a causeway between the mainland to Lanka, constructing it of rocks and boulders, which are described as resembling mountains. The bridge, once completed, allowed Rama to transport his army of Vanara across the ocean to Lanka. Once there, Ravana is killed and Sita is returned.
Gurdwara Sri Guru Nanak Dham
Situated in Rameswaram. Sri Guru Nanak Sahib Ji visited Rameswaram in 1511 and stayed for 19 days on his return journey from Sri Lanka
In Sri Lanka, Guru Nanak gave the secret teachings of the breath and yoga to the King Shivnabh. Guru Nanak made a significant contribution in solving the problems of King Shivnabh, with the other rulers who were in war for years.
During his stay in Rameswaram, Guru Nanak was requested by locals that the water in the area is very salty. Guru Nanak instructed the locals to dig a well not far from where he was meditating. Well was dig and sweet water manifested.
Locals have preserved the small 'mandapam', where Guru Nanak stayed and the well. The original footprints of Guru Nanak are still preserved in this sacred site.
