Pancha Bhutas – The Possibility of the Five Elements
Sadhguru answers a question about the significance of purifying the five elements in the system and how one can make use of such a process for their wellbeing.
Question: What are the pancha bhutas?
Sadhguru: Whether you want to know pleasure or you want to know bliss, for both your system has to become willing. If you want to know pleasure, your mind should come to a certain state of willingness and your physical body should be in a certain level of sensitivity. If you want to know the bliss of being one with something larger than yourself, once again your body has to cooperate. Whether it is the individual human body or the larger cosmic body, essentially, they are made of five elements – earth, water, fire, air and space. In this, the first four elements are the active participants – space is the catalytic force. It is in the lap of this boundless space that these four elements play the game. So, the pancha bhutas are the five elements of nature.
What you call "myself" is just a mischief of these five elements. If you want to realize the full potential of this mechanism that you call a human being or if you want to transcend this one and become one with the larger, cosmic mechanism, you need their cooperation. Unless you have a certain amount of mastery over these five elements you can neither know the pleasure of the individual self nor the blissfulness of the cosmic being.
The fundamental sadhana in yoga to gain mastery over these five elements or to purify the elements in the system in such a way that they cooperate, is referred to as bhuta shuddhi. If these five elements don't cooperate, you can struggle as much as you want, nothing happens. Only with their cooperation, from the basic aspects to the highest aspect, your life becomes a possibility. This human system is like a doorway. A door has two aspects to it – if you are always facing closed doors, for you doors mean that which stops you. If doors are opening up for you, then for you a door means a possibility of entering into something. In either case, it is the same door; which side of the door you are on decides everything about your life, even in terms of time and space. Whether you experience this body as a great possibility or a great barrier simply depends on the extent these five elements are cooperating.
India is a land which has seen that kind of sadhana, focus, understanding and mastery for a very long time. For the five elements in nature, there are five temples, which are all geographically located within the Deccan Plateau – four in Tamil Nadu, and one in Andhra Pradesh. These temples were created not for worship, but for sadhana. People moved from one temple to the other to do sadhana on each of the five elements. At one temple, they did sadhana on earth, then, they went to the next temple to do sadhana on water, and so on. Unfortunately, this connection is not there anymore because the sadhana atmosphere has been taken away. This understanding and mastery is generally missing, but the temples still exist. Some of them have maintained that vibrance and quality, while some of them have become weak.
In Isha Yoga, every sadhana has something to do with organizing these five elements in such a way that you can reap the best out of the individual being and the cosmic nature because both are just a play of these five elements. Whether this individual physical body becomes a stepping stone for your ultimate possibility or a hurdle towards that essentially depends on how you are able to deal with these five elements. What you are right now is just a little bit of earth, water, air and temperature. All the ingredients are out there in the garden; it just takes a little divine touch to make these four things into a throbbing human being.
Sitting here, if you are aware of how the water, air, earth and fire in your body are functioning, suddenly you live your life with so much ease, people start thinking you are superhuman. But this is not about being superhuman – this is about realizing that being human is super. Being human is super if only you learn to use your humanity and this human mechanism as a possibility, not as a barrier.
Editor's Note: Every month, through a powerful process known as Pancha Bhuta Aradhana, Sadhguru opens up a unique opportunity for devotees to benefit from this deep yogic science which would otherwise require intense sadhana.
On the 14th day of every lunar month, known as Shivaratri, and especially on Mahashivratri , there will be an opportunity to experience the Pancha Bhuta Aradhana at the Dhyanalinga between 5:40 pm and 6:10 pm.

Before denying anything we must do research. Just simply we shouldn't deny because we are in a position of inacceptance with our PREFIXED IDEAS of RELIGIONISM. The main barrier for our INABILITY TO GROW /MATURE is our prefixed ideas. Here we are looking Dhyanalinga as Sivalinga in the Camouflage of RELIGIONISM. It is a SOLIDIFIED MERCURY Linga which has got lot of scientific background behind it. Instead we are unable to accept because we are unable to come out of CLUTCHES of RELIGIONISM which was unfortunately used by politicians (present as well as past) as a weapon for their selfish deeds / benefits.Even before the modern era of telescope all the planets were discovered. Without science how it would have been a possibility.
I was wondering if you ever considered changing the structure of your website?
Its very well written; I love what youve got
to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content
so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for
only having one or two pictures. Maybe you could space
it out better?
I learnt recently that each of the temples is also associated with a specific chakra, and that's as below:
* Kanchipuram (Earth): Mooladhara
* Trichy Thiruvanaikaval (Water): Swadhisthana
* Thiruvannamalai (Fire): Manipuraka
* Shreekalahasthi (Air): Anahatha
* Chidhambaram (Space): Vishudhdhi
This reminded me of an experience that shook me for hours together, after I came out of the Shreekalahasthi temple after a specific process and darshan. I was in absolute love that I couldn't feel away from any other. Its Sadhguru's Grace that had made me so... receptive to the Temple's energy that it had me know intense love so deeply(aspect of the Anahatha).
Every time I visit a temple now, I feel the way I relate to it and stay receptive towards it has transformed so much. I bow down to you, Sadhguru, for setting me right and helping me get better.
You really make it appear really easy together with your presentation but I
find this matter to be really something which I feel I would never understand.
It kind of feels too complicated and very extensive for me.
I'm looking forward to your subsequent publish, I'll try to get the
grasp of it!
Those of you who are making it to the Shreekalahasthi Temple, should definitely go to the Kannapar temple at the top of the hill nearby(very close to the temple and accessible via steps) and also to another temple there, which the locals call as the most ancient temple and about 4000 years old. This ancient temple, as I remember is also closer to the Shreekalahasthi Temple. Those of them who are wondering who Kannapar is, its the Kannapa Nayanar, for whom a panel is dedicated at Dhyanalinga Shrine(next to Akka Mahadevi's panel). Its said Arjun on his next birth was born as Kannapar and he attained salvation here.
Pic 1 shows the steps adjacent to temple and closer to hill, which one has to take to visit Kannapar's Shrine. Pic 2 shows Kannapar offering His eyes (kangal) to Shiv, as Shiva's eyes begin to bleed.
Nakaskaram Sadhguru, Sahib bandhigi tells there is Amarlok from where we are decedents.. its the Kaal Purush Niranjan who is controlling the mind and is placed at the 7th Chakra of the body.. If we take Naam from Kabir sahib and be connected to him by concentration it seems that we can get salvation and get liberated from this universe..
This design is wicked! You obviously know how to keep a reader amused.
Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost...HaHa!) Wonderful job.
I really enjoyed what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it.
Too cool!
I have been browsing online more than 4 hours today, yet I never
found any interesting article like yours. It's pretty worth enough for me.
In my opinion, if all site owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the web will be a lot more useful than ever before.wholesale nba jerseys from China
This is all hog wash. There is absolutely no logical coherence, consistency and pragmatism in what SJV says. He is only trying to promote Hinduism in disguise. Osho was blunt, but at least he was honest and vulnerable. SJV is a snake in the grass. He claims that there is no worship at Isha Centers. What is Pancha Bhuta Aradhana? Aradhana is worship. Dhyanalinga is nothing but a Shivalinga, the male fertility organ which is meditated upon and worshiped. If he wants to worship Shiva, that is fine if he owns up to what it is. But this kind of playing with words, dishonesty and lying does the cause of Hinduism no good. It will only underline the fact for the westerner. Hindus believe in no good or bad, truth or falsehood. Everything is opinion. Indians will be seen as sly, scheming and slimy. It will give birth to a world full of Rajat Guptas.
it is absolute non sense to say shiva linga is a male fertility organ. if may look like one, but looking like doesnt mean actually it is. more over dhyana linga has nothing to do with the shiva lingas worshipped in hindu temples. It is just a tool. wiki says aradhana adoring. Pancha bootha aradhana means adoring the five elements which is just the the fundamentals of existance. As for as i have known, not even in one single hindu temple, they do pancha bootha aradhana. they do aradhanas only for their gods. this is just the fundamentals of your own body and you are adoring it. where hinduism comes here, i dont know !

Burgundy Penguin Silk Tie - with charity donation
Q: When is a tie not just a tie?
A: SIRPLUS has partnered with the Global Penguin Society for a limited edition tie to raise funds for penguin conservation efforts. Inspired by the classic chocolate biscuit, each tie comes with a pr-ice-less joke printed on the back blade, and an all-over emperor penguin print.
We will donate 10% of profits from the sale of each tie to the Global Penguin Society. There are 18 species of penguin concentrated across the Southern Hemisphere, 55% of which are listed as under threat. Climate change, ocean pollution and fishing mismanagement are all dangers to the world's penguin population, which GPS fights to conserve through research, education and lobbying. Each tie will help GPS on initiatives such as the "Blue Patagonia" UNESCO biosphere reserve, which today protects 40% of the global population of Magellanic penguins.

Came late to "Buffy" and then late to "Angel," but am a fanand fanaticabout both (though likely an amateur compared to many other people!).
I'm a graduate student in English, a writing instructor, and a Writing Desk Assistant, and, yes, I adore the writing in both "Buffy" and "Angel," though the physical humor has its plusses, too!
Favorite episode (right now)? "Smile Time"!
Currently I've gotten back into an old favorite, Space: 1999. The dialogue isn't up to Joss', but it has its points!

Solstheim Castle v1.1
by Korana
The noble knight Aegir Brondolf had fallen. For many years his grand castle has remained unclaimed. Are you ready to claim it for your own? This spacious castle is located off the north-east coast of Solstheim. The castle itself offers many living and exploratory areas, including:
-A great hall
-Servants' quarters
-Dance Hall
-Armory and Training Rooms
-Weapons Display Room
-Imperial Shrine
-The Lady's Chambers (complete with room sized closet)
-The Master's Chambers
-Private Study
-Wine Cellar
-Guest Chambers
-Summoning Room
-Captain's Quarters
-Indoor Pool Room
-Trophy Room and Menagerie
There are also other services and excitement to be found within the castle grounds or in the neighboring village. One can find such things as:
-A general goods store (Which sells most of the new miscellaneous and food items I have added.)
-A tavern
-A merchant hall
-Guard Quarters
-Fully explorable castle walls and gate houses.
-There is even a surprise for those characters with an evil side.
So how do you find Solstheim Castle? Travel arrangements can be made from Dagon Fell or Fort Frostmoth. Such expensive living does not come free however! You must complete a short quest in order to obtain the key to entering the castle.
If running a castle or spending time at the local tavern become too much for you, there is also a small forested island and barrow to explore. There are also two small side quests available for those that choose to take them.
*Travel services by ship to and from the castle.
*Fast travel to the castle by a special scroll. This scroll can be activated by equipping it and exiting your inventory.
*Extensive night and day schedules for the castle servants, villagers, and a few of the castle's pet inhabitants. The merchant doors will even lock at night. A few special surprises await those who take the time to explore both during the day, and during the night.
*Merchants who offer goods and services.
*An alchemy lab with jars and sorting service available for all ingredients from Morrowind, Tribunal, and Bloodmoon.
*The planetarium offers a rotating star dome, with rotating moons. There is also a fully interactive dwemer telescope.
*The laboratory also offers observation of some dwemer inhabitants.
*The wine cellar offers the player the ability to make wine if they have the proper ingredients.
*There is an imperial shrine available, if you need it.
*There are several playable instruments in the castle.
*The castle's grounds are protected by two fully operational gates.
*The maid will pour you a bath if you ask her. Until you do, the bathtub will remain empty. The bath she pours you has healing effects.
*The butler will offer you a drink of your choice, whenever you like!
*The stable and barnyard are complete with animals such as chickens, cows, pigs, and horses. If you wish to bring your own animals to the stables, the stable offers gates that will open and close.
*The Menagerie offers you the chance to watch Bloodmoon's creatures in safety.
*The pool room offers you the chance to swim with a multitude of exotic fish.
*3 short quests...including one to obtain the castle itself.
*There is a dance hall with very special and classy ballerinas. The ballerinas have companion share, and will wear whatever outfits you choose for them. Don't be alarmed if you come back and your ballerina is gone, she is merely in the servants' quarters, resting her feet! She will back in the morning with your items. One solitary musician plays, so it's a very quite atmosphere. Several visitors may come to view the show.
*The Master's chambers features a balcony that looks out onto the great hall.
*The Lady's chambers features a room sized closet complete with two mannequins, display cases, and plenty of storage.
*22 Male and Female Imperial Mannequins throughout the castle. These mannequins are not made of wood or stone, and if you have a body mod installed, these mannequins will use that body mod. No more wishing your clothing would fit your mannequins correctly!
*Animated practice dummies that will re-spawn.
*Re-locking chests at several lock levels to train your skills.
*There are musicians in the great hall, who will play you a song if you ask them nice enough.
*The cook can offer you a recipe book filled with recipes written by members of the Official Elder Scrolls Forums.
*Be on the look out for abnormal or hidden doors!
*24 display cases
*A pirate themed tavern. This lovely tavern offers services and entertainment such as: buy or sell spirits and food, recruit a companion, request songs from the musicians while you watch the dancers spin, gamble your money away with a game of shells, bet on bar fights, or rent a bed from a drunken pirate!
*A "usable" ballista, although you might not like the reaction to it's use!
This is a conversion of the popular mod Solstheim Castle by Korana. With the debugged Bloodmoon integrated into the master file I think it's time to release this little gem. Now you can play through those quests and relax from them in style.
Instead of using scripts to disable and enable the inhabitants to simulate their behaviour I added AI to each of the many NPCs to create a living castle and village. They will eat, sleep visit the castle and engage in everyday behavior. All exterior meshes and most other were ran trouh PyFFI and their collisions were simplified and altered to improve performance. The entire castle and island have been pathgridded.
Also now available is a custom map created by Roxon which adds Solstheim Castle to the worldmap. Comes in Paper Style or Morrowind Style. Also included are settings for Mini Maps for those who use a mod thats adds one.
All credits go to Korana for creating this wonderful mod.
