Yoga is India’s gift to the world. The word yoga literally means ‘union’, union of the body, mind and soul. It is an ancient discipline that originated in India around the 6th century B.C. and was embraced by the rest of the world in the 20th century. There have been several gurus in India, who have each made a significant contribution in teaching yoga in India and abroad.

What to expect
The first thing that catches your attention when you arrive at the Center is the 112 feet high bust of the Hindu God Shiva, called Adiyogi. The Guinness Book of World Records has declared it to be the world’s largest bust sculpture. The statue is named Adiyogi, which means “the first yogi”, because Shiva is known as the originator of yoga. The height of the statue, 112 feet, symbolizes the 112 ways to attain liberation from the cycle of death and rebirth that are mentioned in yogic culture. The number also represents the 112 energy points in the human body.
The Center also has a Dhyanalinga, a unique energy form kept under a pillarless 250,000 brick dome. It is the venue for daily sessions of chanting. Experience the powerful vibrations of this unique structure by spending some time in silent meditation here. It is a symbol of the universality of all religions.
Later you will be driven back to Coimbatore and dropped off at your hotel.
