1% of Bharat is waking up now. Would take several hundred years for the whole Bharat to wake up (including Muslims, Christians). After 56 years, at the end of Dwapara Yuga (2082), I'd expect 5-10% of Bharat to be fully awakened and brimming with flame. After that we have 3888 years of treta yuga and 5184 years of Sat yuga during which, the whole world will wake up. (And after that, world will start sleeping again, kala chakra will repeat)

Sadhguru is by far one of the most important and essential gifts to humanity.

The root cause of unrest and divisions in India is the propaganda, hatred, Islamophobia, Terrorism spread by the world largest Islamophobic saffron Hindutva terrorist groups, Godi media, Nagpur hate factory, IT CELLS and Islamophobes. How can they work hard to destroy the nation for Votes and loot. Their motto was to brainwash the agyani and moorkh andh Gobar bhakts or Ignorant Islamophobs, but they have even brainwashed the so called satgurus. They want to create another division of the country. Similar acts were done by the Saffron terrorists prior to Independence leading to the partition of our country. Time to ban them immediately.

59:14 There is this recurring image that has been haunting me since childhood whenever I am near historical ruins or forts. The images are dark, with women wailing and little girls crying and the ruthless guys taking turns one after another, right after a brutal battle, the unfortunate few surviving men tied, mutilated, and muffled, their hearts bursting unable to bare the plight of their women and children… No this is not a scene from any movie but something I felt deeply even before I was exposed to the cinema world while exploring the ruins in my hometown Adoni, AP in my early teenage. I didn’t understand what it was until decades later.
