Discover the world from the lens of a yogi, Sadhguru
In the world of spirituality, there have been many names, but one that has appealed the most to the foreign audience has to be Sadhguru. Today, not only Indians but foreigners are attracted to his lens of the world.
When it comes to Sadhguru’s education, unlike many preachers in India, Sadhguru graduated with a bachelor's degree in English from the University of Mysore.
Sadhguru, as of 1st July 2021, is 63 years old. He was born on 3 September 1957 in the Indian state of Mysore.
His notable works include His Inner Engineering: A Yogi's Guide to Joy which made to The New York Times Best Seller list in several categories, Mystic's Musings and Death: An Inside Story.
Sadhguru meditation
The Indian yogi has been teaching yoga in southern India since 1982. A decade later, in 1992, he established the Isha Foundation near Coimbatore. The Isha Foundation operates an ashram and yoga centre promoting calmness by engaging in activities of spirituality, education and the environment.
Isha is Sadhguru’s vision turned into reality as this place located at the foothills of the Velliangiri Mountains, forty kilometres from the city of Coimbatore in the state of Tamil Nadu, South India is a non-profit venture successfully working since 1992.
Sadhguru was married to Vijayakumari. Vijyakumari met her ex-husband in Mysore, India. They soon fell in love and got married in 1984. They had one child called Radhe Jaggi, who is Sadhguru’s daughter. Vijyakumari made it to the headlines in 1997 after her mysterious death to Mahasamadhi.
This is an act of intentionally and consciously leaving the body in one’s yoga sadhana requiring utmost dedication and determination. Sadhguru was charged with the murder of his wife after the complaint was filed by his father-in-law a few months after the demise of his wife.
It was reported that her Mahasamadhi happened in a program conducted at Isha Yoga Center, her ex-husband’s foundation in Coimbatore, India and was witnessed by hundreds of people.
Sadhguru’s teachings are summed up in his quotes, these words from the horse’s mouth unlock a different dimension to how one can view the world and its laws.
“If you ask a tree how he feels to know that he's spreading his fragrance and making people happy, I don't think a tree looks at it that way. I am just like that, and it is just my nature to be like this.”

“The planet is spinning on time: not a small event. All the galaxies are managing fine; the whole cosmos is doing great. But you have one nasty little thought crawling through your head, and it is a bad day! The problem is you are living in a psychological space that bears no connection with reality. And you are insecure because it can collapse at any moment.”

“If you resist change, you resist life.”
― Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev
“The sign of intelligence is that you are constantly wondering. Idiots are always dead sure about every damn thing they are doing in their life.”

“Every moment a million miracles are happening around you: a flower blossoming, a bird tweeting, a bee humming, a raindrop falling, a snowflake wafting along with the clear evening air. There is magic everywhere. If you learn how to live it, life is nothing short of a daily miracle.”
