Sadhguru

[KingKhanWC]

Interesting fellow this chap.

Does anyone know which religion he follows?

In this video, he is asked 'What religion are you'? He replies 'I dont identify myself with any religion'.

Earlier he states 'WE' shouldnt forget pointing to British and 'Islamic invasions'. Tharoor edcuates him by saying they 'Muslms' became us but he seems confused. Who is the 'WE' he is reffering too?

Is this man supposed to be some sort of great intellectual? He seems confused and a person with little intellect or understanding of reality.

 

[BreadPakoda]

One could say that by distancing himself from Hinduism he is not being genuine. There is a Adiyogi Shiva statue at his Isha Yoga Center. And as far as I know Shiva is a God in Hinduism - apologies if I am incorrect.

His points would make more sense if he accepts that he is a Hindu and is representing Hindus when he says "we". I liked the way all 3 participants remained calm while debating. Fresh breath of air in today's times.

I agree, the debate seemed to be very mature, not the usual shouting etc.

Also agree, he seems to be saying 'WE' as a Hindu but has a great cop out saying he is of no religion so nobody can question the people from his faith.

Is the man highly respected by Hindus or more of a screen star?

lots of southeast Asian countries follow Shiva, Vishnu as deities, energy
And majority of these countries are Buddhists with only a minority Hindu pop %

I guess the cop out helps him portray an impartial image that allows him to attract attendance from different religions. He is a bit polarizing. A lot of urban, English speaking folks respect him.

Seems like a bit of fraud to me but appreciate your info, thanks.

I have seen tons of his videos and based on my understanding, I think Sadhguru is an atheist.
He believes in AdiYogi Shiva. But not the deity Shiva that we all know. His main thing is to get ourselves better by separating body, mind and soul. He calls it inner engineering. He offers courses on them.
He is in the mold of Osho, but does not say out loud that he is an atheist like Osho. He tells you to find out if there is God and the ultimate truth by keeping an open brain and not get influenced by others opinions.
Sadhguru is a big fan of Shiva and Buddha. He is a great proponent of yoga and Sadhana.

 

[Slog]

Lot of my right wing indian colleagues/classmates follow him

 

[sweep_shot]

I find him idiotic.

I never listen to him.

 

[Star_Coffee]

A Hindu Atheist, quick to become atheist when has to criticize Islam and Pakistan, sentence either begin or end with "I am an atheist", but also become Hindu atheist when they have to defend Hindutva led government against Muslim minorities in India.

Plenty of them are on this forum.

What the hell is a Hindu atheist? LOL. That's an oxymoron.

This Sadhguru guy seems really confused.

Jaggi Vasudev aka Sadhguru is a top mind and a gem. He is one of those few gurus when they speak you listen. Millions of people subscribed to his Isa foundation. He has not only followings in India but across the world.

So, what's his identity? Is he a Hindu? Is he an atheist? It is not very clear.

Religion is not the only identity but he is a proud hindu and Lord Shiva's follower. But he is not a religious guru rather a social influencer. Great mind and the reason why many top universities around the world invites him to share his wisdom with the youth.

I found him lame, poorly educated and a lack of understanding of basic reality. You could see Tharoor about to die of laughter but he contained himself.

Maybe you can shed light on him, perhaps Im wrong?

Is he Hindu? When he mentions 'WE' who is he referring too?

Sounds like a certain type of Hindu who will not acknowledge this to the public for some strange reason.

If he'[s an athiest, why is he wasting time of spiritual matters? Makes no sense.

 

[ElRaja]

generic life coach in ascetic yogi flavouring.

ppl are disenfranchised and want someone to show teach them something that makes them feel they are improving without having to put in any of the preverbial blood, sweat and tears, whether it is sadhguru and his spirituality or tai lopez and his youtube ads.

he caters to his followers, like they all do.

if he openly starts talking about hinduism he will alienate potentially his most lucrative audience (westerners) and if he abandons his hinduism completely he will lose a chunk of his basic support.

He mentioned clearly, "we" means Nation. Perhaps you have not watched it and rushed to pronounce him "lame". My advise, do more research before making generic statements.

This makes it even more lame. If 'WE' means nation, then he is being idiotic by exculding Muslims in the nation, who have made India in the last 1000 years while Hindu's have had reduced relevance.

 

[Gharib Aadmi]

I have watched many videos of him. He has as much credibility as Dr Zakir Naik. Baffled that educated people can support such a fool.

Not to mention he is a shill of the BJP, who slyly spreads hate against Muslims.

Comparing Sadhguru with Zakir Naik is hilarious. Pls dont make these kind of comparisons outside in real world.

Btw, what hatred did he spread against muslims?

 

[Lurker_Ind]

He is an athiest who follows Adi Yogi (the first person who taught Yoga to the world). That is what I get after seeing his videos. He never says that there is a God or not.

Do you have any proof? He never commented even once on Muslims or Islam or Allah from all the videos I have seen. He stays away from Islam completely.

He made a comment in the video in the OP. He said 'WE' should never forget Muslims coming and ruling over us. But doesnt accept Muslims as 'WE'. The man is an utter fool as he knows little history and not realising Muslims have made India for over a 1000 years, they are more 'Indian' than he is because they done more for the nation. He is sitting around with a long white beard portraying himself as some enlighted great intellectual but in reality is a poorly educated person spewing the same nonsense as Modi and co.

So where did the likes of Babur come from? Tamilnadu?

Sadhguru is right in saying that we let foreigners rule India for hundreds of years while treating the locals as second class citizens.

Totally agree with him. We must never forget muslims conquerors coming and ruling us, like we must never forget Britain ruling us. Since 1947 Nehruvian education textbooks taught us in school that India only got independence from Britain after 400 years of struggle. But the fact remains, Mughals and other overseas conquerors were also ruled us and Indian subcontinent was a 'gulaam' for over 1300 years. So in that context he is totally right...they (muslim invaders) will never be us and we must never consider them as us. Mughals will never be us, Taimur will never be us etc. Not in million years..lol. But he never said anything about Indian muslims and was just mentioning the conquerors.

When a people remain, they are no longer invaders lol. The Muslims made the land the richest nation on Earth for a period. This fake guru has little education and has done nothing for his country compared to great Muslim rulers of the past.

Btw, what hatred did he spread against muslims?

I said slyly. I will give two examples.

1 - On a video discussing CAA he stated that non Muslims that stayed back in West Pakistan were 23%. And that because of wide spread persecution they are almost all gone, and the remaining ones need to be offered citizenship in India.

This is complete nonsense. More Muslims went to West Pakistan than Hindus/Sikhs went to India. Since the 1951 census to the last available census of 1998 the population of Hindus has risen in Pakistan.

So not only is he lying, hes implying to his audience see look at how bad the Muslims were. And see how good we are. We let Muslims in Kerala, and Gujarat, and Uttar Pardesh stay in India. It has nothing to do with the fact that 100% of those states went to India, its because of our tolerance.

And the fact that most Hindus and Sikhs left to India is because of Pakistani intolerance. It has nothing to with the fact that most of Hindus and Sikhs in West Pakistan were Punjabi, and the state was partitioned.

If this is not spreading hatred i dont what is.

2 - Muslim Kings were more oppressive than British colonist. A colonist is someone who sends the wealth of one land back to his homeland. Muslim Kings home was in India. The first King could have been a foreigner, but 99% of the Kings were born in the subcontinent. They died in the subcontinent, they intermarried with subcontinent people, they are buried in the subcontinent. They are as foreign to the subcontinent as Sadhguru.

By calling the majority of them foreign invaders is a way to spread hate against Muslims, and their culture.

And If Muslim Kings were bad because they discriminated against Hindus, then Hindu Kings were also bad as they discriminated against low caste Hindus.

 

[Gharib Aadmi]

They call the cuisine, architecture, clothing, language that the invaders created Indian.

Yet the Kings who are responsible for creating this culture as foreign invaders. Unbelievable.

If Americans launch attack on Pakistan and stay there, then Americans are not invaders?

 

[KingKhanWC]

Its a difficult thing for extremists to accept the truth of their past. Before the 'invaders' the land was of little relevance in the world but a few hundreds years later became a superpower.

The worse truth for such people is the Hindus ruling today are making a mockery of the land, India has become a laughing stock , a 3rd world nation, more poverty than southern parts of Africa, worst nation for women on the planet, the list goes on. But the RSS saffron brigade and some patriotic Indians blame the Muslims of the past.

I hope Indians see sense and stop listening to this fake guru, he actually knows nothing.

 

[KingKhanWC]

If they stay to rule and turn Pakistan into the richest nation on the planet while the public start to live a better life all round, we would all welcome it.

If it werent for the Muslim who ruled most of India for a 1000 years , your country would have nothing of note today. Taj Mahal isnt a Hindu structure, its the main image of India worldwide, let that sink in and clean your heart of hatred. Main reason being you cannot change the past and you cannot to anything to Muslims to hurt them, the RSS are pathetic and inept fools.

They come and rule you, convert your people and become filthy rich while the rest of Pakistanis remain poor. They never adopt Pakistani culture and impose their language on you and eat pork in front of you. They do this for 400 years.
I am sure you will like it and call them those Americans great Pakistanis

 

[Lurker_Ind]

Firstly, RSS and Hindutva fellows are inept and no question about it.
When a group of people come to live in a different country or land, they should adopt the local customs and language. Not impose their culture on the locals and start converting locals using money, force and missionaries.

Your post has nothing to do with my quote, I don't support Sankaracharya, Ramdev, Sai Baba etc etc Sadhguru will also be bottom in that list.

But based on your logic Palestinians should allow Israel to make them tech savy and rich just give them 100-200 years and Palestine will do as well as Israel with good life for its citizens, not sure why Palestinians resist.

There is a difference between a common man immigrating to a land, vs a conquering army who become the new elite. The elite will impose their own culture.

So in the case of the subcontinent the Muslims elite had a Persian Central Asian culture. However since they intermarried with the Hindu elite, the culture became a mix of Indian/Persian culture.

However now the Hindu elite does not want to follow this culture anymore, and common Hindus will follow them. But the common Muslims wont. Why? Because the Muslim elite of the subcontinent is still there. They dont live in Arabia, or Iran, or Central Asia. They live in the subcontinent.

Hence they are invaders and are full of themselves and never considered the newly adopted land and its culture as theirs.
Just because you live in a country does not make you a native if you do not follow the local customs, traditions and language. Anyone who does not do that is an invader or encroacher.

Difference is that the Israelis did a population transfer of Palestinians to become a majority.

In case of Muslims in the subcontinent, only a small percentage of them have ancestors who came from the outside. Those people who had ancestors who came from outside of the subcontinent, will also have ancestors from the subcontinent via intermarriage. It was cultural assimilation.

So it was elite replacement, not population replacement.

So i dont see any comparison between Israel and Palestine to the subcontinent.

And i also quoted you, as you said he is not as bad as Dr. Naik. I see both of them as thugs.

You didnt read this part

So in the case of the subcontinent the Muslims elite had a Persian Central Asian culture. However since they intermarried with the Hindu elite, the culture became a mix of Indian/Persian culture.

So definitely the first King of a dynasty was a foreigner. But subsequent ones cant be considered foreign as they did adopt elements of local culture.

You can see those elements in their language, cuisine, clothing, architecture. It was a mix of both Indian and Persian/Central Asian cultures.

Lol tell that to Pakistanis that refuse to believe their ancestors are Hindus on this forum.

Cultural assimilation happens after a while, Israel-Palestenian cultural assimilation can happen after 100 years too..
Bin Qasim didn't achieve cultural assimilation.

Pakistanis dont have a problem with Hindus and Buddhist being their ancestors. They have an issue when Indians say that you are Muslim, but your ancestors were only Hindus and Buddhist. Because that is asking them to disown over 1,000 years of Muslim ancestors.

Like 99% of Pakistanis have Muslim parents, grand parents, great grand parents. They would not be able to name one non Muslim ancestor.

I hope you can see the difference, its not just semantics. There is an extremely large number of Muslim ancestors that Pakistanis will have.

Also after Bin Qasim conquered Sindh it was ruled it was ruled directly by the Caliphate, and then by the Arab Habbari dynasty. The soldiers in those armies married local Sindhis. Israeli Jews have no interest in any sort of intermixing with Palestinian. The have expelled the majority of them, and regret they did not expel the remaining ones. They view themselves as superior based on ethnicity. Muslims viewed themselves as superior based on religion, which anyone could convert to.

You can't with 100% guarantee say how it worked in Sindh like you can now for Israel due to proof available, but this is your bias.. also am sure if Israel takes over whole Palestine this can happen, but Palestines are reluctant , imagine some Palestenian marrying Israeli Jew how do you think their family will take it?

 

[Gharib Aadmi]

Israel did take over whole of Palestine. And they expelled the majority of its people, they had no interest in mixing with the locals.

Muslim Armies in Sindh did not expel Hindus. And its kind of obvious that they married local women.

Dr. N. A. Baloch, the eminent modern scholar of Sindh has written as exhaustive book on the Soomra Period, in which the conflicting versions about the origin of the Soomra race are reconciled: a hybrid race of Sindhi-Arab blood, that emerged after the Ummayad caliph Sulaiman bin Abdul Malik (715-17 AD)’s decree asking Arab officers posted in Sindh to settle in the land permanently. Consequently they took Sindhi wives and subsequently married their daughters in Sindhi families.

https://uok.edu.pk/faculties/sindhi/docs/soomroEng.pdf

Intermarriage solves a lot of problems. Its the best way for two separate groups to become one.

imagine some Palestenian marrying Israeli Jew how do you think their family will take it?

In case of Palestinian Muslim man marrying Jewish women they would have zero problem.

Israelis are the ones who have problems with intermarriage, they had no interest in mixing with the locals. See this.

@Mods can we have a separate thread on this , I think this can be an interesting discussion on inter marriage between religions in different centuries and circumstances.

Here is another aspect:

Therefore, encounters between Palestinian women and Jewish men were still not perceived by the women as expanding the boundaries of the local marriage market. As a result, the interviewees described the way in which they perceived the relationship in the beginning, as being something non-obligatory and in which marriage did not appear to be a realistic option.

https://dayan.org/content/ethnoreligious-mixed-marriages-among-palestinian-women-and-jewish-men-israel-negotiating

Many religious people will not be ok with their women marrying outside the religion, something that you have said in subtle context as well:

In case of Palestinian Muslim man marrying Jewish women they would have zero problem.

This guy seems a bit strange. A quick look-up shows that he's spiritual (so could still be an atheist), but advocates for a ban on cow slaughter. He also seems to be some yoga spiritual leader? Seems like an Indian nationalist, so he allies himself with Hinduvta as a means to that, but I don't think he's necessarily a closet-Hindu. Perhaps saying he's not a Hindu outright would alienate some of his fans. Either way, seems like a charlatan, as others have said here.

I didn't feel it was a debate bro, it was more of a discussion, focus on spirituality, meditation, mind control etc. It is basically 2 spiritually awakened individuals having a very mature and respectful discussion was my take away from it.

A Hindu Atheist, quick to become atheist when has to criticize Islam and Pakistan, sentence either begin or end with "I am an atheist", but also become Hindu atheist when they have to defend Hindutva led government against Muslim minorities in India.

Plenty of them are on this forum.

Exactly!

He does some good work (on environmental issues and mental health for example) however some of his claims are outrageous - full of pseudoscience and quackery.

Is spirituality scientific? Then why expect spiritual gurus to follow science?

But he isn’t just talking about spiritual matters.

Can't believe people believe in baba's in this day and age.

 

[Gabbar Singh]

Can't believe people believe in baba's in this day and age.

Billions believe in an all-powerful, all-knowing, and everywhere present God so why can’t they believe in Babas?

If Mr Vasudev lived a few thousand years ago he’d be treated like an avatar or prophet.

 

[CricketCartoons]

Has God stopped existing in this day and age? if not, then we need gurus who help us connect with our Creator.

Hence they are invaders and are full of themselves and never considered the newly adopted land and its culture as theirs.
Just because you live in a country does not make you a native if you do not follow the local customs, traditions and language. Anyone who does not do that is an invader or encroacher.

Even many hindus don't follow their native culture. Do you have the same problem with them?

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

I saw a video of this Sadhguru once, seems to be quite an intelligent fellow with some interesting insights. Not dissimilar to Buddhism and some of the Islamic mystics of the past in the basic spirituality stuff. The fraudery I have no idea about, but if he's in the US then he's probably scamming a fair few gullible types who are looking for answers.

Good assessment, I think. He does seem to pander to the Hinduvta-type, though, which shifts my opinion of him from neutral to negative.

He is a proponent of Yoga and some Hindu principles. But he also talks a lot about Buddha and sometimes even Jesus.

To me, he is an atheist who firmly believes in Yogic principles.

 

[Justcrazy]

He wants two things, attention and wealth to live a comfortable life.

He is Not a Hindu scholar who has knowledge of Vedas.

 

[Gabbar Singh]

At times he sounds like another Deepak Chopra - talks a lot but says very little.

That's what a Guru is for. Guru intensifies seeking for you to go in search of an answer they might provide you with tools for exploration but in the end it is you who have to do the exploration. What's the point of one giving a ready made answer? You have google for that. For subtler aspects of life to be accessed exploration is the only way.

He doesn't have to be part of any religion. Why does the heck does he need to be a specific religion? What is wrong with you all.

You don't need to understand the language. Just observe this fraud's body language and his Dosti Bani Rahe moment )

Video has been set to the moment in question.

It's basically about longstanding environmental concerns over Jaggi Vasudev's illegal constructions and multiple violations of law.

There are so many frauds flourishing under the biggest fraud himself and their illiterate followers think what great national service they're doing.
