Describing a person like Sadhguru, who is exuberantly multi-faceted and intensely passionate about every aspect of life is truly a complex challenge. So, Who is Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev? is the question we try to address here. In doing this, rather than douse the question with scanty answers or drown it with marathon lectures, we decided to use a sprinkling of modern technology on the World Wide Web to present a plethora of flashes and glimpses of person, leaving the privilege of an answer or an opinion open...

Sadhguru, a very rare being, who dares not to conform to the accepted ambiguous norms just because the majority or the so-called spiritual dictum conforms to it.  His teachings are but an outpouring of his inner being, which has risen from inner awakening and not derived from textual scriptures.  He is one who cares little for scholarly views and who embraces Truth and stands by it.  No one single description can provide an accurate picture of this realized being whose teachings are simple and pristine.  What can happen in this person’s presence, his energy field, is difficult to perceive for those who are confined to just their sense perceptions.

A modern mystic, Sri Jaggi doesn’t see why a spiritual Guru can’t sport jeans and play dodge ball with the meditators. At Isha, sports, dance and music are an integral part of spiritual seeking. Sri Jaggi talks with colour and precision. In a freewheeling chat with Society, Sri Jaggi explains his take on yoga and good living. 

Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev rides a motorbike, chucks a Frisbee with his disciples and thinks the average family might represent the beginnings of a cult. (Excerpts from Interview by Arundhathi Subramaniam that was published in the MAN’S WORLD, Nov 2005)

 The Isha Yoga Centre near Coimbatore, India, has silently ushered in a spiritual revolution by helping people realize their  potential for enlightenment. Its founder, Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev, has also raised the biggest Linga (an energy form)  in the world following a vision.

Even at a time when there is great versatility in people’s understanding of the word spiritual, it is hard to fit Sadhguru into the category of a Spiritual Master in an established sense of the word. If you think he is someone who walks on water, who materializes things out of thin air, reads people’s minds, looks into a crystal ball and tells people what they did and what they ought to do, you are in for a surprise. And if you think not, you are in for a bigger surprise!
