Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev, founder, Isha Foundation, consecrated Mahima, sanctifying the place with a divine energy to aid the spiritual seekers from the West. To prepare the space, the 700 meditators present were instructed to deploy certain energized sounds in specified patterns and at appropriate intervals. Then through an elaborate series of steps, using various ingredients and alchemical processes, Sadhguru imparted an energy source for Mahima that is soothing and yet vibrant and powerful.

Sadhguru instilled Mahima with the more fluid, passive energies to facilitate the spiritual seekers to realize his or her inner self through the perceptible movement of energy up the spine. It is this arousal of energy that is conducive to meditative practice and provides access to states of divine bliss. This is to specially done to aid visitors to Mahima to experience what it means to become meditative, without the need for instructors.

This unique energy feature in Mahima is in congruity with the energy imparted through the Shambhavi Maha Mudra Kriya, offered in Isha's Inner Engineering programs. Thus, the seekers in the West can now readily and unrestrictedly experience the transcendental power of yoga. It is through the strength of this inner realization and self-transformation that Isha has inspired over one million volunteers to implement programs aimed at human betterment.



For those that gathered, the consecration was a rare opportunity to witness the transformation of a building into a meditation powerhouse. On November 6th, as the final touches were being completed, Mahima was no more than a very large concrete structure. On November 8th, after the consecration was over, Mahima was reverberating with an effulgent energy that was felt all around.


In those two eventful days, through numerous guided meditations, Sadhguru demonstrated the potency of Mahima and the possibility that it holds for spiritual seekers.


Mahima is now open to the public 365 days of the year. Additional information about Mahima, the Inner Institute of Inner Science and Isha's Inner Engineering programs can be found at www.ishafoundation.org. 



To a pointed question, why the need for such a big 1200 acre Isha Institute of Inner Sciences? Sadhguru said, “The most important aspect is universal in nature. With out any distinction of caste, creed, race or religion people can participate in this process. Every temple every place of worship should have been like this. But essentially because these institutions have come up with certain belief system it has naturally divided people. People who believe in one type of worship would not like to go to a place where another type of worship. This is not a place of worship. This is not a place of religion. This is not a place which is nurtured by some philosophy or belief system. This is the place we are exploring technology for well being. This is a place for people to find and make use of technologies for their own inner well being.”
