Shiva Untold: How Velliangiri Became Kailash of the South

Sadhguru narrates the story of Punyakshi, the young maiden determined to marry Shiva. The tragic story of their failed love affair also marks the inception of the Velliangiri Mountains as the Kailash of the South.

Sadhguru tells us how the Velliangiri Mountain came to be the abode of Shiva for a few months, when Shiva was in a despondent, frustrated state, and how the Mountain has imbibed this quality. Sadhguru explains that many yogis utilized this energy for their enlightenment, and Velliangiri became a repository of Southern Mysticism.

In this sacred space, Sadhguru explains, everything that Shiva knew is stored. Though few are capable of making use of it, if one approaches with an open mind, he cannot miss the immensity.

Sadhguru tells of his own connection to the Velliangiri mountains, which drew him in his longing to fulfill his Guru’s will.
