Pavazha Kundru – Spiritual Significance
Pavazha Kundru is a hilltop sacred spot on Arunachala, the Mountain-form of the primordial Hindu Divinity – MahaSadashiva in Tiruvannamalai, South India, birthplace of His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda.
The Cosmic experience of Advaita or ‘Oneness’
From age 3, Paramahamsa Nithyananda lived in Pavazha Kundru exploring the ancient yogic sciences of Vedanta and Tantra with his Guru Maata Vibhutananda Puri. In this sacred spot, with the complete understanding of her young disciple’s ‘incarnation hood’, Mata Vibhutananda Puri built for Him, the first ever Aadheenam (temple monastery complex)!
In 1989, when Paramahamsa Nithyananda was 12 years, He had His first enlightenment experience through a 360-degree vision with eyes closed while He was sitting on a rock in Pavazha Kundru. He felt alive and existing inside everything around Him – the trees, the rocks, the sky, everything. It was a profound experience of Oneness or Advaita with the Whole.
‘The Sadashiva Shila’ – the sacred rock of profound spiritual heritage
The rock on which this experience of Advaita or Oneness happened is called ‘The Sadashiva Shila’ (‘Sadashiva’ is the Superconscious source. ‘Shila’ means Rock). It is worshipped as a living deity by disciples of Paramahamsa Nithyananda all over the world and holds profound spiritual heritage value.
- Once the worldwide movement started, His Divine Holiness conducted meditation programs, pujas (ritualistic offerings), and satsangs (public spiritual talks) at Pavazha Kundru, fulfilling to the core His Guru Mata Vibhutananda Puri’s purpose.
- Disciples have been offering the ritualistic sacred bath and worship to The Sadashiva Shila everyday till date. The anniversary of ‘the Oneness experience’, every year is celebrated as ‘Nithyananda Purnima’ with large gatherings of people.
● This experience of 360-degree vision and Oneness is what His Divine Holiness transmits to millions of seekers worldwide as the ‘Third Eye Initiation’, through merely touching and awakening The Third Eye energy center located between the two eyebrows.
