Foreword
Dear Readers,Om Anand Om. We are excited to present a special edition of our newsletter featuring an extraordinary journey undertaken by Sunyogi Umasankar to the Five Element Temples in Tamil Nadu, the Pancha Bhoota Sthalas, in May 2024. These temples, each dedicated to one of the five elements—Earth, Water, Air, Fire, and Space—provided a unique atmosphere for Sunyogi to deepen his understanding and mastery of these fundamental energies.We guide you through this mystical journey. Sunyogi’s visit aimed to enhance his spiritual capabilities, particularly in operating the Sudarshan Chakra. This endeavor echoes the ancient legend of Lord Kartikeya, who also sought wisdom and strength from these sacred sites.This edition also shares our most recent workshops in Thane and Arunachal Pradesh. The Arunachal workshop was unique because it was exclusive to the military, and we had the chance to introduce Sunyoga to Major General Vikrant Deshpande.You can also read two stories written to Swamiji by our guest writer for this month, ten-year-old Bhaaviniy Khaitan, who joined our camp in Thane with her parents.Warm Regards,Axel and the Editorial Board
Sunyogi makes a trip to 5 Element Temple in Tamil Nadu
by AxelOn 14 April 2024, Sunyogi Umasankar separated his body into a female and male body and fully realized the females (Shakti energy). Inspired by this technique, he visited Tamil Nadu in May 2024 to visit the five element temples (The Pancha Bhoota Sthalas). Under the influence of each temple’s atmosphere, it is easier to separate each element connected to the respective temple to gain full knowledge of it. Swamiji felt this would help him operate the Sudarshan Chakra better, which is very much required in this time in the universe, where many negativities must be cleansed.The scriptures say that Lord Kartikeya, Shiva’s warrior son, went to the same temples to gain knowledge and strength from the five elements to fight the Asura (demon) Tarakasura. We were embarking on the same trip for a similar purpose.Each temple has unique stories and legends that illustrate the significance of the elements they represent.Ekambareswarar Temple (Kanchipuram) – Earth (Prithvi)
Jambukeswarar Temple (Thiruvanaikaval) – Water (Appu)
Srikalahasti Temple (Srikalahasti, Andhra Pradesh) – Air (Vayu)
Arunachaleswarar Temple (Tiruvannamalai) – Fire (Agni)
Thillai Nataraja Temple (Chidambaram) – Space (Akasha)
