Legend / Local stories
Two noble devotees of Gurudev, from Chennai, donated eight acres of land at Thamaraipakkam on 27th June 1984, to be used for spiritual purposes at the discretion of Poojya Gurudev. Gurudev meticulously planned and gave the blueprints of the unique model of Dhyana Nilayam with a huge 65 ft high Shivalinga-shaped dome, a spacious sprawling circular Satsang hall on the ground floor and the Dhyana Nilayam on the top-floor that was designed by M/s Vybogam Architects. Gurudev laid the foundation on 29th September 1987. Swamiji also laid the foundation for many cottages intended for Senior citizens, called Pithamaha Sadan. The work of construction of the unique Dhyana Nilayam was entrusted to M/s ECC of Larsen & Toubro Limited, who executed the project as desired by Gurudev in record time.
On 15th October 1989, at 10:30am the Maha Kumbabhishekam was performed at a solemn ceremony. A noteworthy feature of this place is that it is one of the rare places in the world with a “Spatika Lingam” – a precious Linga – shaped crystal with a diamond studded crest – brought by Poojya Gurudev. There were great spiritual overtones touching the devotional chords of the devotees including the chief priest of the place, many of whom testified to the thrilling experience of a “Spiritual” shock they experienced as the holy waters collected from the eight famous rivers were being poured by Poojya Gurudev from a silver conch on the “Spatika Lingam”.
