It has been a fantastic personal experience reading this book. This book is a must read for everyone irrespective of any religion. It provides a great opportunity to understand this spiritual wonder - Dhyanalinga. The beautiful artwork and the scientific presentation need to be experienced. My heartfelt thanks to Sadhguru and all others for this.

Until I went to India and sat with this "thing" I had only heard stories ... now I know. Read it, then go there, sit, and you will see.

The idea behind the Dhyanalinga is to make a profound impact on the society in a meaningful way. The science behind the temple and its evolution is definitely worth a read for everyone.

The book is a hardcover with wonderful pictures, art and poems. Truth has never been presented so well. I'm amazed that a book of this quality is offered at this price. This book is definitely a keepsake and has a place in my collection.

Really, this is shameful. And pretentious. And useless. It is nothing but commercial for the work of this particular guru and for the particular building from which he operates. Nothing useful, no instruction, just high gloss, a lot of photography, art work and promotion in very few woo-woo pages. It is shameless advertising masquerading as pursuit of truth. It is inept, deficient in intellectual seriousness and insufficient for any serious study. Furthermore, I suspect that the five star reviews are by his disciples, which is just shameful. I paid $15 for nothing but promotional junk. Shame, shame, shame on this crew.

Great layout. Beautiful and appealing with illustrations by Film Art Director Sri Thotta Tharani. Perfect coffee table book. I have given it to many of my colleagues and friends that are not necessarily into yoga and meditation. I was always looking for something to give that is not too technical and not on one topic only. Introductions are given on a variety of topics such yoga, Patanjali, the seven chakras, Kundalini energy, and many other aspects. The book is a mix of information, poetry and narrations; light in its appearance yet with great depth particularly on the art of consecrating and energizing a form, here a linga. It is hard to find any book that talks on this complex and difficult process so openly and candidly. A true gem for anyone wanting know more on this subject. Still today it is one of my favorite gifts.
I simply love it!

Jaggi Vasudeva takes us on His journey through 3 lifetimes to establish the temple in Tamil Naidu. Wonderful poetry, history, pictures and much more. A must have in your spiritual library.

"Sadhguru" Vasudev claims that he is an "enlightened master" without offering any logical proof of this claim. His book is mediocre at best and plays on the trusting nature of those who are seeking a quick solution to their life's endless problems. His book is an extension of the camp-like retreats that the "guru" offers. Vasudev believes that he is an extension of GOD and that he himself can offer the answers to the eternal questions of mankind. Vasudev's wacky claims include that through his powers, he can communicate with animals, enter "into" the mind and soul of his followers, cure all illness, and lead his followers towards eternal life and salvation. In my humble opinion, Sadhguru's works such as "Dyhanalinga" illustrate that the author is a charlton without any logical explanation for his supposedly "miraculous feats". There is nothing wrong with meditation and yoga, both activities can be beneficial to the body and mind. But when someone uses these ancient topics towards greedy and dubious means without any support whatsoever, one must be skeptical. The "holy" Dhyanalingam is nothing more than a concrete slab that Sadhguru and his minions hype up in their quest for more power and money by preying off the poor masses in India and abroad. "Spiritual masters" such as Vasudev are a dime a dozen in India (my home country), and the author's claim that his methods will allow the leader to achieve "enlightenment" and "bliss" are suspect at best. Vasudev initially claims that all his ideas in his book are rooted in logic, but once one gets deeper and deeper into his courses and literature, one realizes his followers consider any opinion contrary to their "master's" word as an act of sacrilege. Upon reflection, one may find similarities between the methodology of Dhyanalinga's Isha Yoga to those of better-known cults such as the David Koresh's Branch Davidians that crush the logic and free-will out of their followers. I advise the reader to be wary when reading this book and tread carefully when following the web of lies perpetrated by this author through his works.
