Behind this sacred form lies precise mathematics. When Sadhguru consecrated Linga Bhairavi, he established a specific energy using carefully crafted algorithms. Sadhguru, for the first time, reveals a key aspect of Linga Bhairavi that is deeply transformative: through Bhairavi Rakta Shuddhi – purification of blood – she offers liberation from ancestral imprints that otherwise silently control your life.
Sadhguru: Why Bhairavi? We could have chosen someone pretty instead. There are spiritual, geometric, and other existential aspects behind why she has this particular shape and form. She is the result of certain algorithms we built for her to exude a specific kind of energy. We built the mathematics first, and the form arose from that.
The important thing is the quality you have, not just how you look. How you look matters only for the first impression. After some time, what you have within is all that matters. Bhairavi has that energy. If you look beyond her appearance, she is very different.
These days, everyone thinks I am a “temple builder” because of the large Linga Bhairavi temple that is coming up in Bengaluru. It was recently featured on television channels and newspapers across Karnataka. I am being labelled a temple builder, but that is not what I am. Because you unfortunately do not build them, I am doing it.
Most human beings cannot maintain their focus in one direction unless the necessary energy is created, unless there is something that draws them. Of course, they will also look for the benefits they receive. That is why I said that Linga Bhairavi offers spiritual, material, and social benefits.
One key aspect of what Linga Bhairavi represents is Bhairavi Rakta Shuddhi. Rakta means “blood,” and Rakta Shuddhi means “purification of your blood.” We speak of “blood relatives” because too many people who died long ago still live in your blood. If you do not filter them out, you will never know what your life is because those who came before you keep living through you without your permission.
When you were 18, you might have thought you had shaken them off, but as you get older, they slowly become more manifest. Bhairavi Rakta Shuddhi means purification of your blood from all your ancestral imprints so that if you sit here, it is just you – just life – not a rerun of an old movie. This is a new movie, a new drama – not a replay.
Whether you understand this or not, you are just a replay of the last six or seven generations. Your situations may be different – you may be a computer engineer, which none of your ancestors were. But that is only because there were no computers back then. What we do right now is a consequence of the times in which we exist. This is not our doing.
Generations of people worked and brought us to where we are now. Computers were not made by your generation. The last few generations worked on the mathematics of it and other aspects, not knowing where it would lead, and slowly arrived at it. Almost all the benefits that you are enjoying in your life today are based on the work of the last six or seven generations.
This applies not only to material things, but also to the kind of body and mind you have, whether they function well or not. “Oh, so my grandfather is responsible!” This attitude is what we have been trying to change; when we use the word “responsibility,” it is always in reference to yourself. That is also Rakta Shuddhi. When you realize, “What I am right now is my responsibility,” in some way, you keep the previous generations aside. Otherwise, they will rule you from within.
You can manage those who rule you from outside. But when it comes to those who rule you from within, you do not even know when they are playing their games. For example, let us say you eat something, and you do not like it. It could actually be your great-grandfather who does not like it. This is just a simplistic example; there are many other aspects like this. It is happening in countless different ways.
So, one important aspect of Bhairavi is Bhairavi Rakta Shuddhi, which cleanses the blood of ancestral imprints. This means that when you sit here, you are just a life, and you can shape this life whichever way you want. If you are spiritually oriented, this is fundamental.
