Shivalaya Divyam Vidyalaya is a sanctuary of profound silence and vibrant grace, manifested through the pure intention of Satyam Shivam Nath. This consecrated sanctum serves as a space for the highest Upadesa (spiritual instruction) and the deepest healing. It is a living, breathing entity where the finite touches the infinite.

The name itself is a mantra that reveals the purpose of this holy space. Shivalaya signifies the eternal home of Lord Shiva. Divyam speaks of that which is divine, heavenly, and untouched by the dust of the mundane. When combined with Vidyalaya, the temple of wisdom, it forms a trinity of purpose: a place where the soul returns home to learn the language of the Divine. Though Satyam Shivam Nath has crafted this space as a small, simple setup, its atmosphere resonates with a grandeur that surpasses the greatest Ashrams. It is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful teaching spaces—sacred, classy, elegant, and aesthetic. Here, beauty is a doorway to the Divine; the simplicity of the design mirrors the unadorned truth of the Self.

The spiritual potency of Shivalaya Divyam is rooted in an ancient and unbroken lineage. The Prana Pratishtha—the sacred act of breathing life into the idols—was performed by the revered hands of Gurudev Sri Krishna Pratapa Debnath. As the 54th Gurudev of the Sri HaraHari Sampradaya, he carries the torch of a tradition that dates back to the Satya Yuga. This bona fide Sampradaya, one of the four original paths, was founded by Adinath, Lord Shiva Himself. Thus, the air inside Shivalaya Divyam carries the fragrance of eternity, connecting the modern seeker directly to the primordial source of Creation.

Within the sanctum, the presiding deities, Sri Sri Bholenath and Sri Sri Kashi Vishweshwari, radiate an aura of compassionate authority. It was Gurudev Sri Krishna Pratapa Debnath who, with great love, donated the deity of Kashi Vishweshwari and the sacred Trishul that stands guard over the space. The Mother, Kashi Vishweshwari, offers the wisdom that liberates. Together with the gentle benevolence of Bholenath, they transform this elegant space into a vortex of grace.

Sri Sri Bholenath

SRI SRI BHOLENATH is made of Maragatham Stone. It is one of the only few Maragatham Shivling of this size in the whole world.
Sri Sri Bholenath is the innocent form of Shiva. Bhola means simple or innocent. Nath means Lord, King, or Protector. Even though he is the Supreme Destroyer and king of kings, Shiva maintains his humble, innocent, and simple nature, reflecting his spiritual personality and the deep spiritual connection his devotees have with him.

Vakrasura (Bhasmasura) did years of penance to please Shiva. At last, Shiva gave him Darshan and told him to ask for any desired boon. The Asura said, “Lord, I want my touch on any living being’s head to turn them into ash!”. Shiva granted him the boon, thus the Asura became Bhasmasura. But, the Asura, out of arrogance, tried to test the authenticity of the boon on Shiva Himself. Lord Vishnu came in the form of Mohini, and put an end to Bhasmasura.

This doesn’t mean that Shiva can’t protect himself. If Bhasmasura had touched Shiva’s head, he would have turned into ash, because Shiva is Rudra (fire), and no one can destroy or harm Shiva. This shows his love towards his devotees. He never punishes them. Shiva destroys the arrogance / desires / lust in his devotees, and dissolves them into Him. Shiva always gives another chance to His devotees to change for the better and live according to Dharma, since Shiva can’t be far away from his devotees for a longer time. Hence the name Bholenath. He is called Bholenath or fondly as Baba (Father) because He is;

Childlike & Pure
Childlike innocence makes him a loving father Easily Pleased
Quick to forgive and easy to please. We can gain his favour with simple offerings, such as water, a leaf, or a mantra, showing our pure intent. 

Generous & Compassionate
Blesses without expecting anything in return. His mercy is boundless, and he accepts all beings, as long as they approach him with faith and pure heart. 

Sri Sri Kashi Wishweshwari

SRI SRI KASHI VISHWESHWARI is from a more than a 100 year old temple in India which was destroyed by the British. She remained as a relic for a long time before Maa decided to come and reside at Shivalaya Divyam Vidyalaya as the protector, consort of Sri Sri Bholenath and a mother.

She is Maa Bhagavathi in Raja Rajeshwari or Maha Lalita Tripurasundari form. She is made of Panchaloha. She is a devoted wife. Wherever Lord Bholenath goes, she follows. She ensures her husband is respected and worshipped. To those who disrespects her husband, she dances like Kali. To those who worships Him, she is the most loving mother. She is;
