Coimbatore (Tamil Nadu) [India], Feb.18 (ANI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi will on February 24 unveil a 112-feet tall face of Adiyogi, the source of yoga, designed and consecrated by Sadhguru, founder of Isha Foundation on Mahashivaratri at the Isha Yoga Center.
This will be the largest face on the planet, recognizing the first yogis unparalleled contribution to humanity. The iconic face symbolizes liberation, representing the 112 ways in which one can attain to ones ultimate through the science of yoga.
As a tribute to Adiyogi, the Prime Minister will light the sacred fire to commence the Maha Yoga Yagna across the world.
Around one million people will take an oath to teach a simple form of yoga to at least 100 people each in the coming year, and touch at least 100 million people before the next Mahashivaratri.
The Ministry of Tourism, Government of India has included the consecration of this glorious face in its official Incredible India campaign as a destination.
The unveiling of Adiyogi is part of the largest Mahashivaratri celebrations in the country which will be telecast live, simultaneously in seven languages to over five crore people through over 23 satellite television channels and several online platforms.
At 11o latitude in India, because of the tilt and precision in the spin axis of the earth, the centrifugal force is nearly vertical, and Isha Yoga Center by virtue of being on this latitude becomes an ideal place to be on the night of Mahashivaratri.
The festivities of Mahashivaratri begin at 6 p.m. and conclude at 6 a.m., the next morning. The nightlong celebrations include the powerful midnight meditation and discourse by Sadhguru, cultural performances by Kailash Kher, Rajasthan Roots with Kutle Khan, Sounds of Isha (Ishas home grown, anomalous group of musicians) and dance troop Nritarutya. Maha Annadanam or the offering of food will be made for all.
Describing the significance of Adiyogi, Sadhguru said, It is essential that the next generations of people on this planet are seekers, not believers. As philosophies, ideology, belief systems that dont stand the test of logic and the scientific verification will naturally collapse in coming decades, you will see the longing for liberation will rise. When that longing rises, Adiyogi and the science of Yoga will become very important.
In Tamil Nadu, Amavasya is considered the most important day in the month. We will leave the first offering to Adiyogi to the local people as a way of honoring the common people of the land, as an expression of their love and devotion. -Sadhguru
Preceding Mahashivaratri is the three day Yaksha festival, aimed at preserving and promoting Indias classical music & dance forms by the most accomplished artistes of India. This years artists include Violin duet by Dr. Mysore Manjunath and Dr. Mysore Nagaraj, Bharatnatayam performance by Padma Shri Smt. Meenakshi Chitharanjan and Odyssey dance performance by Smt. Bijayini Satpathy and Smt. Surupa Sen on 21st, 22nd and 23rd February respectively.
On the occasion of Mahashivaratri at Isha Yoga Center, all are invited to witness the unveiling of this glorious face of Adiyogi.
For the first time in the history of humanity, Adiyogi introduced the idea that the simple laws of nature are not permanent restrictions. If one is willing to strive, one can go beyond all limitations and attain to liberation, moving humanity from assumed stagnation to conscious evolution, Sadhguru added. (ANI)
