NEPAL : A Living Tantric Body Explain by Sadhguru [Video]

Sadhguru explains how the land of Nepal, nestled in the mighty Himalayas, was created as a living, tantric body by yogis and mystics. The entire geography of the land was turned into a phenomenal possibility for the spiritual wellbeing of every being in the land. 

He explains where Pashupatinath, Muktinath, Kalpanath and Kailash fit into this energy structure.

Sadhguru: Large parts of India was like this at one time, that the whole geography of the place was created like a living body. They established, like how in the human body the energy centers are, like this they established these bodies, many kings sponsored these great adventures of turning their whole kingdom into a spiritual body, so that man, woman, child, animal, bird, worm – nobody escapes the spiritual process. Spiritual process is not only for those who close their eyes, roll their eyeballs and sit; nobody should escape this, this is the intention.

You should say this is the highest level of compassion, that you don’t even want the worms to go untouched by this energy, so making the whole geography into a spiritual process. But largely these structures or this phenomenal work that was done in the northern part of the India was wiped out because the northern part of the country saw invasions after invasions and the first thing that they went for is this, because they know if they break this, people’s minds will be broken, their spirit will be broken. In South a little bit of it is still left, but not because of the external invader, because of the invasion of ignorance, which is more dangerous than any invader, kind of dissipated. Still you can see remnants of the structure but not a very active process. Some processes are still on, but mostly defunct. A few things are alive but mostly gone.

Nepal is one place where it is much more alive than what you would find in India, simply because the whole culture supported it. Even now 98% of the population is dedicated to this process. Even now, for 98% of the population in Nepal, going to the temple and seeking their mukti is still the highest thing in their mind, which is largely lost in India. Yes? Mukti is not the highest thing; going to America is the highest thing. (Laughter) So when the very psychology of a civilization was completely geared towards ultimate liberation, these things could be done, that the very geography could be converted into a living spiritual body. So being in Kathmandu, which is the abode of Pashupatinath, Pashupatinath temple, in certain… 

certain traditions, is considered the temple on the planet. This temple is of thousands of year’s antiquity. The linga that the temple houses is pre-Vedic in its making. Pre-Vedic means… Vedic period is something like 5 to 8000 years ago. In that range, those 3000 years are called the Vedic period. This is pre-Vedic. The temple itself has come down many times and been rebuilt any number of times but the linga is pre-Vedic in its antiquity. Before the Aryan invasions happened, these things were set up.
