namaskaram satguru
i have read about the significance of
the magnetic equator and how mystical
spaces like the chidambaram nataraja
temple was established on that line in
ancient times
why is the magnetic equator important
for seekers
[Music]
when we say
the magnetic equator
what we're talking about is a sort of
zero influence of the north pole and the
south pole
magnetic equator means
neither the pool of the north nor the
south has much influence on you you're
in a
kind of a place where it's kind of zero
so this allows
when you're at the magnetic equator it
allows
your energies to
take it upward it becomes much easier
because
nothing is being skewed
if you're in the northern pool
the northern pull is there in a certain
way so your system is always trying to
adjust to that it's like
if you're driving your car little
alignment problems in the wheels it's
constantly pulling but you can manage
you know
no car except maybe
uh
like formula one racing things on the
track
except them
no car is really perfectly aligned all
of them are pulling either right or left
but it may be very mild that you don't
mind most people never notice it first
of all
if you take your hands off
and drive
it won't go straight
it will go straight for some time and
then it will go but there is also no
perfect road
there is no such thing as a perfect
plane road so the road also may be
acting but whichever way it's quite
it's not impossible
but near impossible to align four wheels
perfectly
such a thing doesn't happen in a normal
commercial car it's not possible racing
cars they're trying to get it there
because the speeds that they're touching
is so high if the alignment is not there
that little
minor alignment problem can
take away a few seconds off the corners
for a race driver so they're working on
getting perfect absolutely perfect
alignment
i don't know even if they achieve an
absolutely perfect alignment but near
perfect alignment they manage
so when you're at magnetic equator you
are at near perfect alignment
magnetically that means there is no pull
to the south no pull to the north
that means your energies are free to
move upward and also because of the
centrifugal force it moves upward that
means
life is dancing at its best
so
nataraja is established there to show
life is at its peak here if you are here
and you do the right things your life is
at its peak dance performance
when we say dance we are always thinking
of uh i don't know what you're thinking
i don't know you're the rock and roll
type or the hip-hop type or the ballroom
kind or the bharatanatyam kind we don't
know what kind you are because when we
say dance for different people means
different things
so
essentially dance means effervescence
doing stylishly doing this and that is
not dance that's a show off
dance means effervescence life is at its
best
[Music]
so
today
physicists in the world are trying to
describe the play of subatomic particles
is a dance of particles
and you know
the nataraja statue has been established
in front of sun
[Music]
the
you know where this they're trying to
collide atoms as if there is not enough
collision on the planet
[Music]
so
that is indicative of the dance of
subatomic particles which makes the
whole existence happen the way it is
so because it's zero magnetism there is
no pull or push from either side and
because of the centrifugal force that is
working at that latitude at the highest
possible in in almost nearly vertical
uh
moment
life is at its peak
and if you're doing the right things
with your life
your life is highly effervescent
the very from this comes the word
samskriti which means
to be equanimous
equanimity the magnetic equator is
indicating the equanimity and to be
exuberant
so at the highest level of exuberance
and the best possible equanimity the
alignment is great
speed is good
that's a winner
so that's why
one dimension of shiva in the chidambara
temple is shunya or emptiness
people are talking about it as akash it
is for one of the elements that
dimension is also there because it's the
nearest thing
that people know in
physical experience of life to stillness
is akash
all the other elements are in a certain
state of dynamism akka seems to be still
it is not entirely still but it seems to
be still among the elements this is the
most still and silent element so there
is there is worship of akash
and there is
a process which is emptiness or i'm
means
beyond physical nature and there is a
dance all three in one temple to
indicate that
this is what it is prepared for that
space
and they chose the right kind of
geographical location to make this
happen
