Sadguru Sannidhi, Chikballapur – A Throbbing Space

Share

Sannidhi means presence. A Sannidhi establishes an energy presence that naturally takes you to the realm of devotion, where something far bigger than you becomes an experiential reality for you.” ― Sadhguru 

With this spirit we should visit this special and spatial place and not like we see other places. This is creation by human for human and we have to embrace the vibes of this place with respect, grace, purity and devotion. We must spend here one full day, sit, contemplate and see the surround natural beauty with open eyes and mind.

On similar path and philosophy of Isha foundation, Coimbatore, I think our Sadguru thought and founded this center in Chikballapur, 70 KM from Bengaluru. This place is said to be first Naga consecration of Naga (serpent) in 800 years.

Currently road is ready and waiting to be tarred.

It was founded in Feb, 2022 by Sadguru and in one year it has developed the barren and isolated hill into a priests center who can kindle the humanity to light and hope.

On way a lake which is created due to quarrying of granite. It is natural picturesque place for foto

The construction work is still going on and road I think will be ready soon. It is about 10 KM from Nandi Hill turn on Bellary road. We need to take left turn and come on wide road under construction.

From the access road we can see Lord Shiva 50 feet statue looking at us, It was a great view to see and looks like a great squatted hermit in meditation.

View from far approach road. Far you see Lord Shiva

There is a temporary canteen for visitors and has all variety of snacks and lunch. The taste and price are reasonable. Probably in future it will be replaced by big canteen as we see in Coimbatore branch.

Few canteens are there for dosa, idli, lunch, icecream

I had a talk with a young volunteer here. He is from Himanchal Pradesh and has taken vacation rom his company to serve here.
He told that Breakfast and dinner is served here free of cost and you have to do any one service here but you have to mandatorily take part in sadhna. The stay is in big hall with beds laid.

An unforgettable image of Yogeshwar Linga (below) Lord Shiva above the temple.

Epilogue

I suggest to sit at this place whole day till 7 PM to see lighting, involve for ‘saadhna’, listen to holy chanting of Naga (serpent) see hundreds of devotees coming from different places, catch their vibes of faith on God. This place is said to be first Naga consecration of Naga (serpent) in 800 years.
