Italishwara
Lord of Italy

In 1989, Shri Swamiji consecrated a white marble Shiva linga near Venice, Italy, and named it Italishwara, meaning Lord of Italy. The scenes on this edited video were recorded on this occasion.

Shivabalayogi consecrated many lingas and images of gods.  He said it was one of the purposes for which he completed tapas.  These scenes from Italy are unusually beautiful and there are several long shots of Shri Swamiji giving life to the form of Lord Shiva.

Includes an eight minute sound recording of Shivabalayogi talking with devotees about the significance of Shiva lingas that has been edited with photographs of Shri Swamiji.

Italishwara Consecration of the Lord of Italy In 1989, Shivabalayogi accepted an invitation from Italian devotees to visit their ashram near Venice, Italy, and consecrate a Shiva linga. Although Swamiji consecrated many lingas and idols, this video taken by Steve Zuckerman offers rare glimpses of the great yogi giving life to a stone form. Shivabalayogi named the white marble linga Italishwara, meaning Lord of Italy.

Italishwara Meditation Program in Italy Shivabalayogi's public programs consisted of initiation, meditation and bhajans (spiritual song). This video taken by Steve Zuckerman was recorded near Venice, Italy, in 1989 during Swamiji's visit to consecrate the Shiva linga Italishwara.
