Highlights
  • Adiyogi Alayam - You will be picked up from your hotel in the morning and driven to Isha Yoga Centre that is about 18 miles distance from Coimbatore.

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.

At the end take lunch (beverage excluded) at a local restaurant. After lunch you will be driven back to Coimbatore and dropped off at your hotel.

Just Wow the Adiyogi statue - Just Wow Adiyogi statue…… Amazing place you feel immense peace at this place. Senario are too beautiful and the site scenes is surrounded by hills. Feel internal energy when visited that place and to know thier internal activities which organised by young men and women & also thier volunteers. Once you enter the main area, you must view a couple of presentations and you must spend 10min doing dhyana.

One of the most powerful spiritual experiences ever!!! - A must! I can’t wait to come back. Some things are difficult to describe. They can only be felt experientially. There is this divine energy which is only enhanced by hundreds of volunteers radiating the same energy. We were there for about 4 hours which was good amount of time for a tourist experience. Beautiful, serene and spiritually charged experience. Tips: You have to turn in all belongings before entering. Only wallet size purse allowed. Ladies can’t take their purses. If you are a foreigner carrying your passport, they may make an exception. We were able to do that. No mobiles allowed inside. There are several good food options. Even if it is super hot, this place is well covered with amazing breeze making it a very comfortable experience. Adi Yogi statue is right across the street. About 10 minute walk from the street side. There is a bullock carriage available as well. Light show at the Adi Yogi statue is one of the best experiences which is at 7 -8 pm. NaadAradhana at the Dhyanalingam at 5:50 pm is worth experiencing. Can’t wait to return for spending several days here.

Great place to visit - Visited the centre for first time . Very crowded but loved it early morning h visit to the adi yogi , linga Bhairavi, and dhayanalingam. We were not told that the rooms will not have bath towels. Walking bare foot and long walks can be an issue for some . Also the ox being used for rides is cruelty which should be stopped . One bull was badly hurt on his neck and running against the pole. Had to tell the staff there to look at that bull and provide him some treatment . It could be from the Ali g that they put in their neck to pull the cart . That sling is of leather kind material rather than cotton / cloth so guess that can leads to hurting b their necks

Visit to Isha Foundation - Visited the Dhyana linga in the premises but it was overly crowded and it extremely hot making it difficult to visit all the important place within the premises. The open car parking and the path way leading to Dhyana linga could have been closed as people were finding it so difficult to walk all the way in the sweltering heat, so we have to cut short our trip

Snake cult - This is a cult. A snake cult. Many foreigners in white linen shirts and badges, not too friendly, all really feels off. The statue itself is big, to be sure. An interesting place to walk around though. If you are here make time to visit the main compound. You will see that the 'Temple of Doom' was actually a documentary. My Indian collegue was lamenting how all of the young people here were brainwashed and wasting their lives with this nonsense.

No place for the differently enabled - Went with member who has mobility issues and needs to use wheelchair Very very disappointed at the absence of wheelchair ramps Even the Dhyanalinga has no ramp for those who have mobility issues, to perform abhishek The bullock carts to Adi Yogi statue also do not allow wheelchairs Are differently enabled humans not welcome at Isha? The entrance has no signs or information Volunteers give out contrarian confusing instructions Wake up Isha! Get with the program Old age wisdom dispensed generously at new age speed calls for more empathy and inclusion beyond international volunteers wearing pristine white Sadhguru … hope this review gets to you
