THE DIVINE LINEAGE🔗

The sacred mountain of Arunachala at Tiruvannamalai is the direct manifestation of the Cosmic Divinity, Lord Sadashiva as per the Sanatana Hindu Dharma (Hinduism). On a rock at this mountain, once sat the child monk of 11 years, and experienced the most rarest experience, which forever changed the history of humanity - from human to divine. This rock no more remained a rock, for It was witness to the greatest happening on planet earth - the Incarnation experiencing Pure Oneness with the whole Cosmos.

The Sadashiva Shila, the Enlightenment Rock is a LIVING DEITY, verily the living presence of His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda.

For millions of disciples and many more millions to come in future - the Sadashiva Shila - is most precious, sacred, revered divine place - valued as a world heritage site to be protected, preserved for humanity to experience the highest divine energies there. What the Bodhi Tree is to millions of followers of the Buddha and the Buddhists today, ‘the Sadashiva Shila’ is to the millions of followers, devotees of Paramahamsa Nithyananda.
