Meditator: Namaskaram Sadhguru, I want to ask like Mahashivaratri is celebrated everywhere in India.
So what is the significance no… we have to come, all people have to come here and
celebrate with us like in ashram?
You said Adiyogi is coming, can you please tell what… what does that means?
This time Adiyogi is coming for the Mahashivaratri, Sadhguru?
Sadhguru: So what is so significant here, if you are able also
to invite Adiyogi to your Mahashivaratri and if he accepts (Laughter/Applause), you can do it there. No problem.
Here everybody gathers because they know he has accepted the invite (Laughter/Applause).
You heard of Poosalar, there is a panel in the temple.
A king built a great Shiva temple and the next day he is inaugurating his temple,
that night Shiva appeared in king’s dream
and he said “See I won’t be able to come for your inauguration
because another temple is being inaugurated by my devotee Poosalar, I have to go there.
I won’t be able to come for your temple.”
The king was aghast, he has built a magnificent temple
and now Shiva comes in his dreams and says I won’t able to come, I am going to somebody else’s temple,
some Poosalar
So he woke up with a start and then early morning he set out to looking, where this Poosalar is?
Poosalar was in that part of the town, in those days which were considered outcast or
in some way considered to be lower caste.
So it was in that area and he was surprised who would have built a greater temple than me in this place.
He went there and then he found a small hut.
So he called, “Is there Poosalar here?”
The man came out and he looked at the king and he was terrified,
“Why is the king standing in front of my house?”
So the king asked “Are you Poosalar”, He said “Yes”.
Where have you built your temple? Where is the temple of yours?
Poosalar looked embarrassed, “My temple, no my temple… you know it’s in my heart (Few Laughs).
It’s not anywhere. I have not built any temple outside.”
He said, “How did you built this temple?”
He said, “Last many years I have been sitting and building this temple brick by brick,
piece by piece every architecture, every piece, every decoration everything for many years,
it just got completed and Shiva said “He will come (Laughter).”
Then the king was aghast, he said “I have built a magnificent temple of stone, brick and everything
and he is coming to your temple,
obviously if it’s Shiva’s judgment your temple is better than mine, let me also come to yours.”
Tch, this is a wise king.
So Adiyogi is coming not because we have put up his image.
He is not impressed by those things nor am I (Laugh).
Nor he is coming because all of you are here,
nor he is coming because we are doing Annadanam- free food (Few laugh).
No, he’s coming because
long, long time ago we built something here which he cannot ignore, he has to come (Applause).
So if you want to be a celebration… part of the celebration when he is here, welcome!
