The fan following that Sadhguru has garnered through his yogic yet practical approach to life has been massive. It is perhaps because of his plain talk and the ability to speak the language of the common man. His pearls of wisdom are relatable—he is, no doubt, the modern age guru the world is looking up to. Here’s a freewheeling chat with the guru of all gurus—Sadhguru…
Sadhguru, the founder of Isha Foundation, Coimbatore, is one of the power centers of India today. He is an undaunted human dynamo, who has built an empire of ‘Yoga domain’ with his relentless endeavours for the past 35 years.
Being recognised as a spiritual guru, with a mass following in India and abroad, Sadhguru fascinates the young and the old alike with his maverick ways and logical approach to mind and matter contrasted against spiritual abstractions.
His creative fashion statements in personal styling, his love for sports, music and dance and his rugged road travelogues are trending factors for the youth to latch on to.
Actually, Sadhguru’s quick-wittedness and defenses can leave one in a maze of words, setting one to figure out the dynamics of his argument. His overwhelming fiery persona, at most times, leaves people speechless. His detractors are many, as are his followers, including several celebrities, and he enjoys asserting that his is the last word, whether it’s in a debate or an argument! Well read, well informed, Sadhguru has a brilliant memory as an asset.
He amply possesses the craft of diplomacy in teaching spirituality to the masses. Not many would have had the courage to install a Shiva Linga and a Linga Bhairavi and build them temples, yet give it neutrality and universality, negating religious attributes and affiliations to them.
What’s more, the recent installation of the Adi Yogi, inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, had a worldwide viewership.
