I learned that you have to be careful who you allow to influence you. God, pastors, a guru, a life coach, people in your life or what have you...You have to moderate it and be mindful of it. It's tempting and easy to follow them without question when you are in search of something. Welcoming their words with openness and obedience as they assume authoritative hierarchal position. You are the only one who have walked in your shoes. No one can understand wholeheartedly what your journey was like and will be like...not saying you are alone in the world. Just that take what works for you to better yourself and your situation. Make it your own...put your spin on it, customize it. Please be careful who you allow to influence you. Much Blessings~

@@wordsleuth992 I don't think Dr. Grande is prejudiced, but for the sake of playing Devil's Advocate, one could be prejudiced in ways that have nothing to do with ethnicity. Scully from the X-Files was prejudiced in favor of skepticism, for instance. Another example is when Sir Isaac Newton proposed his theory of gravity. Back then the French scientific community was so skeptical of the way his theory seemed to defy materialism that they had a heightened awareness of his other peculiarities, manifesting as a prejudice against him as a person. They thought he was full of b.s. To some degree everyone is full of b.s. But even still, one could have genuine insights, even someone with a strange psychological profile, as in the case of Newton.

[@Awake-Free-CT]

I started watching Sadhguru's videos and thought I was making sense out of them, but you are right. This is the first video I've seen that has actually properly pointed out all the things that were always there, but I didn't want to see. I thought if he really wanted to help people as opposed to make obscene ammounts of money, he would not be charging the prices that he does to go to do his courses. Thankyou for this video. His answers are so ridiculously vague, and you're right, he never actually shows you step by step techniques of how to meditate correctly, just lots of confusing videos telling you what not to do, but not anything useful like how to improve your life. Just how if you have done this and that, how it will affect you, but not how to remedy the situation. I have been getting more sceptical for a while now. Ok maybe he is doing some good with this save the soil etc and I believe he does other charity work, but this could just be a cover. Maybe there is good and bad in him like everyone, but I don't think people should profit in such a huge way, from people's desire to change. As that is why most people are there I expect to try and make their lives better, or for spiritual reasons. But the point is I expect alot of vulnerable people have probably been, thinking it would solve all their problems, which I probably would have if I'd had the money at the time I was looking into it.

[@auntyjasmine2566]

How do we know that the money he makes doesn't get invested back into the isha foundation ?

His motive is to provide wisdom. Not step by step procedure to come out of your misery. What you do with that wisdom defines who you are. He speaks truth which is bitter to grasp. He celebrates the power of love. He is called painfully vague cause people live in denial and are used to spoon feeding. Philosophy was never simple to understand BTW. I support him cause I have never seen him demeaning anything.

Once he spoke about the importance to treat caffiene drinks coffee & tea as drugs and to not use them daily. Which is sound-enough advice. But then the Guru mocked people for thinking that they are getting any benefit from herbal teas (no caffine), calling ALL non-caffinated teas "placebos!" This is absoutley wrong. Take Chamomile tea. It was minerals and potent anti-oxidents that benefit one's immune system and keeps you looking young! // Yet, this doesn't stop me for relating to Sadguru.

[@moto5813]

I know he always makes sure to inform the audience that he isn't diagnosing anyone he does a video about. But regardless, that is a legal safeguard and he does offer very suggestive if not diagnosis remarks into a person's mental state. In his professional field the consensus among others who practice in the same field is something like this, "The first is that diagnosis can only be given by a qualified expert, meaning that self-diagnosis lacks credibility. The second is that self-diagnosis can turn serious psychiatric disorders into mere fashion labels, in such a way that trivialises them." If he were to make a video of himself he would make a mockery of his proffesion, and would ultimately lose all credibility to all the videos he has made this far, and have garnered so much popularity. He has become very popular by his neutral position towards those he speaks about. At times I see some signs he lets his personal feeling about someone come out but he does really well not to let those feelings overtake his professional nature and keeps himself very professional throughout. Doing a video on himself will NOT provide any benefit to the popularity and will only make the million plus subscribers he has gained, have to now decide if he is credible or not because he will have an self interest that may outweigh his professional nature we have all come to like. I don't think he would consider it for even a second as a possibility. The only alternative would be him asking a respectable colleague to watch his videos and make an informed scientific assessment based on those videos. That is the way the public had become aware of him, I haven't seen any other media outlet speak on him, but I'm sure some of the people he has spoken about have become unhappy with his assessment he provided and now have it out for him and will go to great lengths to sabatoge his popularity and find ways to destroy his reputation. They will find people to troll him and suggest things like " hey I want to see Dr . Grande do a video in Dr. Grande!"

A man who is seeking the extravagance of yoga, who endangers yogis, who traps them in the same 3rd eye mysticism ego trap that he found himself in. Did you know Sadhguru's primary practice with his more advanced disciples is in 3rd eye dimension exploring and siddhi showcasing? Did you know that this is by far the most dangerous aspect of yoga that is normally only briefly explored, completely unadvertised but rather warned about, and in extremely controlled and brief time periods for each disciple? - Of course, this is what Sadhguru is all about, because he is an egoic thrill seeker and not an enlightened being. Do you know about the details of the controversy regarding his wife's so-called "Mahasamadhi?" he claims that she died of her own will by leaving her body during enlightenment, but throughout the ages in India people who died like this were NEVER cremated because they are considered the most sacred bodies, yet he cremated her instantly and against her father's will (who suspected Sadhguru did something to cause this). Do you know about the scandal regarding his illegal, environmentally damaging construction of his ashram in India? I could go on and on about the red flags that reveal what he truly is, but chances are, people like you, who are already primed and allured by his charm, are not going to be budged due to cognitive dissonance. It's the same as when you try to tell Osho fans that Osho was a dangerous cult leader who abused drugs and did orgies that involved kids, and they will just refuse to believe you or even fact check what you're saying (yes Osho was far more dangerous than Sadhguru, but nonetheless the same principle applied, a guru who achieved certain spiritual change within them, becomes obsessed by their ego from the power they find themselves in, and completely give up on seeking their enlightenment in exchange for enjoying their new powers).

I believe she either committed suicide or he gaslighted her to a breaking point. He claims there's no such thing as depression, someone like him who seeks public adulation, and mocks people to their face, yet is never confronted, can become hard to live with. Just listenīng to his convolutions makes my head spin.

[@plum_loco]

@@swatiyadav640 Exactly! If this guy based his arguments on factual evidence then maybe I would buy it. He cannot even give factual evidence about his wife's death. In fact he hid it, by cremating her before her father and family could attend, he cremated he in the middle of the night when nobody was around to stop him. Her father had told him that she should not be cremated until her family has time to see her dead body and do the necessary rituals. He did not wait for the parents who had raised her all those years. What a disrespectful thing to do at the very least. Would you go and cremate your wife before her family had a chance to pay their respects to their child, their sister, and especially when they had told you to wait?

[@andrebharrat9069]

Chris, if you are dealing with his ‘believers’ then you are most certainly not dealing with his disciples or devotees, as Sadhguru refrains people from believing him or believing in him, but rather to use the methods that he teaches. If it works you keep it, if it doesn’t to leave it and go.

[@paradoxlove1]

Yoga teacher here too @Chris The yoga they do at his foundation appears hybrid like in many ways Did you know the certification there is 21weeks not days

[@shift-happens]

​ @paradoxlove1 I don't know how this makes it any better? The key point here is: too many people in this community are extremely susceptible to Gurus and all the nonsense and abuse surrounding it. Sadhguru reinforces this with his half baked blabbering and is a huge part of the problem. Keep supporting Gurus if you want more systematic violence in this space...

[@andrebharrat9069]

@@shift-happens how can you back up this claim of increased systematic violence? Only when an authority that asks you to be a believer, one becomes susceptible to doing things blindly and is prone to cause damage to others out of confidence. A guru like Jesus, Buddha or Sadhguru have been there to raise human consciousness by bringing clarity to the individual, not a belief system to the masses. The church may have asked you to believe, but a guru will not do such a thing. When one has clarity, where is the room to be mislead? Only if one is clouded by a belief system or distorted knowledge can one cause harm to themselves or others through false pride and confidence. If you cannot comprehend what Sadhguru says, you should not listen, but you should not mistake what he says as half baked or blabbering. His goal is not to teach you text book knowledge as our Dr. here is attempting to do, his goal is to disturb you enough to wake you up from illusions that you are living under. The goal is not to force the water down your throat if you are thirsty, but to point you in the direction so that you could drink and experience for yourself. Under these conditions of clarity where is there room for causing systematic violence?

As far as I know, he never said to pursue for peace. What he said is, peace is just that it has to happen for everyone everytime. Without that, a person cannot enjoy even his food. So a daily management of your body and lifestyle should correct that aspect pretty well. Meditation is just a measure to connect ones body to mind and deeper self. A visible results when you go to gym for a year is seen on your body with defined contours. Well same can happen, when people meditate for long period of time, and they become more enthusiastic, calm, happy, understanding etc. The moment you stop doing , it will fade away naturally. Not necessary meditation means just closing your eyes in some posture. It has lot more aspects. Right eating, right talking, right listening etc etc. But as far as I know , what he says to pursue is for mukti ( salvation) , coherent to lots of eastern vedik philosophy. Much greater than getting god. Now what mukti is might be debatable. I don't think it's same for everyone. One aspect of mukti is " free from ignorance".

[@bridgetamato6182]

I appreciate you’re opinion Dr. Grande. I agree that depression is a clinical issue such as bipolar and schizophrenia. Eating broccoli 🥦 or taking 1000 mg of Vitamin B12 along 1000 mg of VitaminD might help people with low lying depression however, serious imbalances of the brain 🧠 need medication. With that said I wish we had better alternatives to the numerous harmful side effects of pharmaceuticals. I’m still a supporter of group counseling with a competent, sharp, compassionate, insightful therapist along with meditation, Yoga, organic food, and support from loving 🥰 people like you! Unfortunately, there are a lot of adequate at best therapist.
