There is a wonderful Jeeva Samadhi temple in Bangalore, which resembles the human body. Human have five bodies. 1) Annamaya Kosha 2) Pranamaya Kosha 3) Manomaya Kosha 4) Vijnanamaya Kosha 5) Anandmaya Kosha. The body also have seven chakras. Chakras are nerve centers, not visible to normal eye. They are the energy vortex which sucks the energy from the universe. Travelling through these chakras and reach the destination back is liberation. Here is a Jeeva samadhi temple which physically shows how the journey will be through symbols.

While entering the temple we will find Sri Lord Ganesha idol, which resembles Mooladhara Chakra. This chakra is the basic consciousness of human being. Where the sakthi is sleeping. The Chakra meditation starts here also the travel of kundalini start from this chakra. Ganesha is worshiped at the first place in Indian pooja system, as Kundalini starts journey from Mooladhara Chakra. This chakra is located at the end of spinal code.
As we move further inside we can see a pond and saint sitting in middle of the pond. Cuddapah swami had a siddhi of floating on water without any solid base below. This represent swadisthana chakra. Element is water. This chakra is located four fingers below the navel.
After the pond, we will see an inverted navel shape object. In temples of India this is named as Bali Peetha. This represents the Manipura Chakra. The fire element. Located at the navel area of human body.
Now we are entering the temple. The temple of actual spiritual experiences. This arch above and entry door represents the Anahata Chakra. This chakra is at located heart area of body. In fact first 3 chakras represent lower chakras. The actual spiritual journey starts from Anahata Chakra onward. This represents the Air element.
As we proceed further inside the temple we will see Nandhi (Bull), Nandi represents the Vishudhi Chakra of the body. This is the throat area of the body and represent the space element.
After throat area if we go above human body we will find two holes of nostrils. Karthikeya on left and Gajanana on right side of this temple represents the two nostrils. Pranayama is the key for the enlightenment in shivyog. The two idols on both sides also represents the IDA & PINGALA nadi. The path we travel straight towards the sanctum is the Sushumna nadi. Once we do regulated pranayama the kundalini will travel through the sushumna towards the final goal.
Cuddapah swami was initiated directly by Ekambareswara of Kanchipuram (lord Shiva). Shivalingam was directly worshiped by Cuddapah Swamy. The idol of Paramahamsa in abhaya & varada mudra was installed by devotees after his samadhi.
Behind Sri Cuddapah Swami idol is Jeeva Samadhi and on top of it placed the Nataraja. Behind Nataraja is an empty space, which is called the Chidambara Rahasyam. This is the Chidakasha. Chidakasha is bigger than the akasha we see. (Akasha means space).
OM behind Nataraja murthy represents the Ajna Chakra. Ajna chakra is located at the forehead of body.
The dance of Nataraja is the dance of bliss. We cannot experience what is inside Chidakasha unless we enter that space, so this is a secret and called the chidambara rahasyam. The word originated from CHIT+AMBARAM. Ambaram in Sanskrit means space.
The tomb above the temple represents the Sahasrara chakra, last of seven chakras. This is represented by space above the skull of human body. Once the kundlini reaches here the jeevatma merge with paramatma and the journey is over. This is called mukthi or liberation. So humans always point god towards up and not down. Up is a relative term, it just means above head.
There are steps which leads to his small room for deep meditation and sadhana in this temple. This is below ground level of temple. This room can hardly occupy a person. Swami used to be in seclusion here for many weeks or months, with little or no food.

I got blessings and received vibrations of infinity. It was a wonderful experience to meditate here at this jeeva samadhi.
He had written many books and I could read one of them in English. The book available in the temple.
Samadhi is near Magadi Road/railway parallel road in Bangalore. You can reach here as shown in the map.
Conclusion is that with once initiated by a enlightened guru to Pranayama, Meditation on body, Meditation of Chakras - with dedicated practice one can become Brahamam (Shivam). Human body is a micro cosmos. Inside us have all that we see and experience outside. So human body is a temple where all devatas and jeevathma are residing.
SHIVOHAM
1) Through PRANA, influence the MIND and make it still by pranayama. Thoughts and breath are interconnected.
2) Through MEDITATION on infinity and merging mind to infinity where ego vanishes and stillness is achieved. But both methods can halt the mind as long as we do(practice) it, as soon as we stop, the MIND will again start moving (but at a slower pace than earlier). The ultimate and permanent stillness of mind will be achieved only with Nirvikalpa samadhi. This is called win over mind (Manojayam). Once reached in this stage we need to leave the human body and merge to infinity (Brahman).
