The Adiyogi Experience

I believe it is more an experience than a sighting........it's not about seeing it through the eyes, as much as about experiencing it in body, mind and spirit......and that's when it can transform into an immersive and deep experience. He doesn't feel like god..... he feels like what human can be. And that's what adiyogi is.

It epitomizes beauty.... of what human can be and human can do. So inspiring.

As we entered.......and this was Diksha's first experience with the statue (it wasn't yet there when we last went together). You can almost sense the stillness in her body as she's taking it in.

All about perspective........visually it seems to dominate even the mountains in the background

The yoga that was going on, and we chose to give a go by

A couple of closer angles. That chain, the string around his neck is actual rudraksha mala, several rudraksha malas wound together...... and those earrings, they swing in the wind...... both diksha's observations. It's that level of detail that makes the statue into an experience.

It is surrounded by the velliangiri mountain ranges, that create a beautiful and imposing backdrop

Another side

The carts for those who prefer that....diksha ofcourse had to go say a personal hi to the bullock

Walk back to the car

This trip was a no selfie and minimal pictures trip for some reason

As we walked back all we could hear was gentle wind and the tinkling of cow bells.... was such an idyllic scene, enough to pause and just soak in.....and that's when we did atleast those single pictures of each other :)

Headed back. Loved the spray of the car so caught that on pic

Headed back......

For what was thought to be a crazily tight and hectic trip, it was one that was most enriching and fulfilling ......another stay forever one.
