Our Inspiration

Yogi, mystic and visionary, Sadhguru is a spiritual master with a difference. An arresting blend of profundity and pragmatism, his life and work serve as a reminder that yoga is not an esoteric discipline from an outdated past, but a contemporary science, vitally relevant to our times. Probing, passionate and provocative, deeply insightful, devastatingly logical and unfailingly witty, Sadhguru's talks have earned him the reputation of a speaker and opinion-maker of international renown.

With speaking engagements that take him around the world, he is widely sought after by prestigious global forums to address issues as diverse as human rights, business values, social, environmental and existential issues. He has been a delegate to the United Nations Millennium Peace Summit, a member of the World Council of Religious Leaders, as well as a special invitee to the recent Australian Leadership Retreat, Tallberg Forum and the World Economic Forum at Davos in 2006, 2007, 2008 & 2009, and the Indian Economic Summit 2005 & 2006.

Realizing the profound problems occurring in his home state of Tamil Nadu, a state suffering from huge deforestation, Sadhguru applied his unique approach to the problem: “Actual statistics and practical logistics may come in the way, but the rationale is very simple - with the right kind of focus and motivation, the gap between what is needed and what is possible could be very small”. He saw that nurturing two saplings over the next 10 years was a task that even the poorest of the poor could do and that the rich and the resourceful had the ability to do much more. So with no additional financial burden upon the state, people's simple involvement and personal action could make something truly beautiful, wonderful and timely happen.
