"Real" Guru | Sadhguru (Jaggi Vasudev) Case Analysis 

My advice: Beware of all ignorants with crude generalized RU-vid comments

@@mefisto05s.20 ... Your trolling is dull, tedious and maladroit. Try again.

Why are you afraid of huge bank accounts? God has the biggest bank account of all.

@@thirdeye7611 ... I'm not afraid of huge bank accounts. Your question isn't anchored in reality.

@@ericdodson2644 That depends on which reality you are anchored in. Why would you care if a guru had a huge bank account anyway. Do you think it actually belongs to the guru?

The number of followers says nothing. Christianity and Islam nave billions, so what? Those are people who feel the same existential dread and have the same questions as all people but decided to believe in someone who is a self-made pseudo-scientist and pseudo-psychologist.

I'm not, it is interesting though.

@pinkdostoyevsky yes,true.

Jaggy knows the meaning of life! He's got a video titled 'I Know the Meaning of Life,' he'll tell you what it is, if you buy his book. 😁

@@ozymandiasnullifidian5590 Christianity is based on fear. The saying "God fearing Christian" is because Christians fear God. Spirituality is not fear based. It resonates to those who get it

"Real Guru " even worse. a real guru has left ego behind and cares little what you call him, just saying

@@monahelmgens3703 sadhguru means the one who shows u a good or positive path in life dont search in google for everything and dont blame someone bcz u dont know anything

The Real Slim shady!

Technically any RU-vidr is a big narcissist.

...I think calling yourself a Guru is like calling yourself a professor in your field of specialty . nothing more

It requires great oratory and storytelling skills.

Loved this line... Its the Deepak Chopra, Jordan Peterson special. A plethora of deepities mixed with some motte and bailey, claim its profound metaphor.

He is a poet, his talks are uplifting and practical, they make you think.

What are your papers about? I usually gain a good bit of knowledge from mine

not your fault that they demanded X written in some arbitrary number of words ;)

👏

You said it perfectly!❤️

I like your comment. This is something to keep in mind to avoid being swayed by others.

This is the one 💯

That's exactly what Sadhguru tries to get people to do.

He will make YOU sad!

🤣🤏

Jaggy could be a good name for a rap star!

How rude this was of Dr. Grande…or should I say “Todd.”

Love it. Another guy trying to fleece people that are suffering in some way. It's horrible. Jaggy is fitting, don't wanna give him too much respect.

Agreed - happiness is on the inside, not the outside. By putting someone like this on a pedestal, you are looking outside of yourself for the magical answer.

@cl3165 Well said

People will always blindly follow charismatic leaders, but that doesnt mean that he deceives them.

That is why he encourages you to be a seeker, not a follower. He Just give tools for it. He also says to not believe him, Just experiment and see for yourself. He always said, never look up nor down on anyone. Fake or not, does it make sense to you? 🙏

People who can recite, connect and create new knowledge from information created the tape recorder! Not someone who tries to put down educated people because he didn't have the self control to sit in class listening to someone else talk.

That's hilariously ironic, and in more than one way. I just watched a 10 sec clip where he said we're relying too much on human intellect. Relying - too - much. Really in a world where people can't differentiate between facts and opinions.

PROFESSIONAL INTELLIGENT NARCISSIST ..

You have to be able to retain basic information in order to build knowledge upon it. Your Guru wants you dumb, uneducated and without information…for obvious reasons.

Sadguru is a conman who quotes Buddha without acknowledging it.

bro prejudiced dr. Foggy has taken bits and pieces of what he said and made his own shit out of it . you can clearly see the hatred and cunningness of dr. Foggy

Definitely I had never thought about it

What happened to the Save Rivers initiative? Is it not cool anymore or have the issue been solved?

@@ram-my6fl what is he prejudiced about?? I think you have the definition of “prejudice” mixed up with “opinion” - Dr. Grande do not speak of any of jaggy’s ethnic, social, or racial attributes

@@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.

Survival ?

How so, Doll of Salt? Never once has anyone claiming a life changing experience went on to elaborate specifically. Very strange.

same

some qi gong people state this that the solar plexus region is the brain of the body (trunk of the body)

@Sharon Monet, true. His contents are mainly from subjects that get researched by others. He makes other people's work his-plagiarism, like most RU-vidrs. He never gives a straight answer to any thing.

Sadhguru supports Covid vaccines. He is a fake, and not a supporter of freedom.

He’s eating out the devil’s pot.

Throw enough shit at a wall and some of it will stick.

Listen theres no other way to bring spirituality into a metaphysically dead society believe me bhai

@@koalabear1984 we’re in the Kali Yuga where every society is spiritually lost. Sadhguru is just another fraud.

This is how it will go: This is a self proclaimed doctor, noone visits his clinic so he's making a living from shiting on famous personalities on the internet, his iq seems to be descending day by day just like his hairline.😂

He d be amazing of course

😂

🤣🤣🤣

Bahahahhahahaah 😂😂😂😭

Yes- it’s odd that Dr.Grande chose to to do this. I listen to Sadhguru because it calms me.

He is a great speaker and does have pretty good relationship personal advices plus lifestyle tips. Problem is he claims to have whole lot of mystical powers like a god has and nevers justifies any claim he has made. He also has a poor understanding of science.

It is very easy to read books to say insightful things. But a real guru has left ego behind and does not insist on being called real guru

@@GiftSparks 😂 lol you listen to a soothing music that’ll calm you down as well

@@goodtimesbadtimes5273 Actually, I find Dr. Grande’s voice very soothing to listen to before going to bed too!

Yeah we per yogic tradition, it's best to let the life move on from the body soon as possible

@@twistedyogi It's all bullshit.

Oh, I do understand that in some cultures bodies have to be buried or cremated in a particular, and often short time-frame. I just found it interesting that he in particular, just he as an individual, believes in the person still partly living for 12-14 days and cremating her that fast.

@@murphychurch8251 He has described the whole thing in detail in his book 'Death and Inside Story'

Well, I'm certainly not buying his books now. Good luck to you and your belief...hope you'll be fine. But I'm not into any Guru teachings.

Well if that worked on you then I can help you too. If you are sad just be happy becuase to be happy is our natural state of human conciouness in the cosmos of our mind. Feel better?

@@jimmypineapple8640 i guess on a basic conceptual level you're explaining what an introspective set of exercises combined through an extended period of time does. only you're saying exercise your body while not pointing out some of the myriad of ways to do it, while advaita/buddhist/psychotherapeutic practices give you an approach into which exercises you can do to help yourself on a psycho-physiological level.

Same.

I sadd brughe

Now you are Dr of inner engineer,. Ha ha haaa

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.

Basic meditation Isha Kriya is available for free, go check it out

Sammi, if the Sadguru merely gives out "ridiculously vague" answers, can you recommend for me a spiritual teacher who you DO find enlightening. I like Eckart Tolle, but he is German. Please help me with some teachers who come from the same Eastern Philosophies as Sadguru.

​@@Monsh I am sorry that you did not see otherwise. He just fools you bro. Better read the Bible and learn about Jesus. There is nowhere that much wisdom and it is absolutely FREE.

Oo really pls recommend such man of wisdom u listen to?

if sitting and looking at broken clocks is what you want to do ... do that

Charisma is a quality that many cult leaders possess 😊😊

Sure, but what he says is extremely unremarkable. Even Hitler could tell you advice in the vein of "it's good to brush your teeth".

@@metalman4393 ... Brain exercise: ... If you were to compare yourself to Hitler, who do you think benefited humanity as a whole in the grand scheme of history?

I feel it is important to understand how a society collectively goes into decline. I find it has been relatively easy, If I pay attention and read, to understand the HOW

In America charlatans need middlemen like Oprah to get through to the gullible. Here they do it themselves. I'm a devotee of some 'gurus' so I won't rush to judge followers of whoever but at the end of the day if people don't use their common sense then shame on them. This guy does the bidding for politicians. The cult is just a facade. He's no Rajneesh. He knows what he's doing.

I chuckled hard on that one too🤣Go Dr G!!!👏👏

his fans are Jaggiheads

*Inserts dominance lol

Exactly, there's also the heart brain, which is believed to be the true brain. Objective and thorough analysis without bias is the key to true knowledge. I like Grande but his personal filters limit his objectivity

Neither meet the actual definition of a "brain." He's a very literal person.

@@Anne_Onymous Except he was totally open to the concept of a Penis Brain.

Was thinking the same thing. Serotonin or dopamine receptors or somethi g like that too.. effects your moods. Etc.

@@Anne_Onymous another good point. He IS super literal...

Absolutely!!!!!

Bullshit like Sadhguru spreads does not expand the mind, it restricts it to a world of lies and leaves you under the control of a brainwasher. Luckily, intelligent people can see through this as they use their minds to analyze things rather then their emotions.

Rich people only spend other people's money they never spend their own money. That's how they stay rich

@@exitscreaming4637 Exactly, These people can't even get off their couch but want go preach in the RU-vid comments, because it demands nothing. And to the people questioning sadhgurus work, a simple google search will be beneficial before spewing bs against him.

He is liar and heading a herd of stupids. Political propagandaist. Religion make people to make suffering affordable...so these fools like making their way.

@@exitscreaming4637 Why do you think that person is rich, the lady who wrote the comment? She is talking about those who are filthy rich like that charlatan Jaggi.

@@sai62789 I have seen many of his videos. He is a typical charlatan, there are many such, of that type, such was Sri Cinmoj, that guy who made Hare Krishna, Rashnish, or whatever his name was, all of those are charlatans and are spitting lies for naive and gullible.

@@frugalmind7050 how is he scamming people, by teaching vedic philosophy? Just because you don't agree with something doesent make it a scam.

@@Jon-dh3ki didn't agree or didn't understand?

@@Jon-dh3ki sadhguru teaches people to self reflect and take responsibility for their own state of mind, what exactly have I not understood?

@@frugalmind7050 it doesent take broadminded thinking to appreciate ancient Eastern philosophy. Just a mind will do, don't be too frugal with it though.

@@frugalmind7050 can you be more specific, perhaps state some facts I can verify that prove sadhguru is talking "sewage" as you seem to be implying?

Atleast he have daring to have a discussion 😁coming on yt nd speaking ur pov without counters is like he is ur god nd he speaks everything true

"He who does not use punctuation in a sentence, does not do well posting quotes on the internet."

It’s a dumb statement. It’s like saying “the person doesn’t know about invisible beings so to him it’s non existent- therefore he’s ignorant” If you don’t know of something it’s going to equal zero because in your head it never existed in the first place.

spotted

"He who believes what he does not know, and cannot demonstrate to exist, is wearing the tiara of retardation."

i consider him more articulate than Jaggi though who always uses verbal chicanery

Hahahaha

@@averagestudent5223 You are not completely accurate. Dr. Grande is articulate through education and experience and speaking in either his first or his only language. Sadhguru is articulate despite not being educated and, in one of his many non-first languages.......... Whether SG is a a charlatan or not, Dr. Grande has totally and completely MISREPRESENTED EVERYTHING he said about SG, thus proving Dr. Grande as the REAL deceiver and crook...... shameful!!! Lost all interest and respect for Dr. Grande........SG, Osho and other gurus, have learned knowledge of ancient spiritual laws and knowledge that help humans, so how can the information be different from one to another??? One should worry if the information was different!!! Dr. Grande was exhibiting either total stupidity or totally gaslighting 😢.

Todd's assessment was way off here. I say that based on having listened to Sadhguru for more than a decade. And I am hypercritical, to the point of being a cynic. But apparently I am not as cynical as Todd is.

@@dahawk8574 how's it way off, you have provided 0 evidence to support your argument ... prove him wrong, tell us he's quoting Sadhguru wrong or something else to substantiate your claim.

I'll call him fukk face. To his face. You can PayPal me now.

Yes indeed!

It's gold! :D

You are living in a world where you should address someone as plural based on their preference and in such a world if you feel to quote someone other than what they adress themselves as then it means you either way behind the society or straight up a r@cist. Majority of sadhguru hatred are coming from certain section of society under the control of certain religious organisation.

@@bn1193 your opinion of me is none of my business.

What if u sketchy from ur school days..

May be true, but I still gather many little wisdoms from the Sadguru. More than i get from "Doctor" Grande. I HAVE seem Sadguru's ego come out. 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. A smart person must simply take the Guru with a little grain of salt.

@@Acoustic-Rabbit-Hole m also a fan of Dr Grande...his videos r 'intellectual pleasure'...i love watching them... But i've been to Coimbatore n can tell u facts in dis video r completely wrong...n are taken from random allegations made by people...indeed a completely biased video Moreover Sadhguru is man of experience...his wisdom of life is not an entertainment but truth dat shatters one's illusions... Not blaming Dr Grande but Sadhguru's depth is unfathomable ..

@@shanira1536 Well said, Miss. Shanira. I don't know if you have seen other videos where Dr. Grande also attempts character-assinatinons on Deepak Chopra, Eckart Tolle, and even US-governmnet whistle-blower Bob Lazar! I think "Doctor" Grande is a clear example of how modern medicine has rejected even historical practices of WESTERN medicine itself before 1950. Grande is part of the phamaceutical mind-set. To this day, I, myself, proudly remain un-vaxxinated! Ha.

This sounds like something you can find in any self help books. The Gary Vee andTony Robins say the same things too. Nothing special about this guy.

I like how you finished your comment. Take what you want and leave the rest. Unfortunately juggy worshippers take pseudoscience and superstition, and leave common sense.

Switch to Jiddu Krishnamurthy

Sadhguru supports Covid vaccines. He is a fake, and not a supporter of freedom.

What you see as 'giving tools', I see as, selling snake oil.

I'm very happy for you ☺️

Please stay on medication. You may have not paid him anything but the farmers he grabbed land from and made millions out of are paying still.

@@rm3015 Those antidepressant medications ruined my Fiance's health. They ruined her hormones. Meditation, Yoga, and slower living solved her depression and helped her off meds. Do not give people advice on what to do with their health. When it comes to farmers, he is only against Monsanto bringing their dangerous practices to india, that degrade the soil for a short term profit. He is supportive of organic farming practices and farmers.

Sadhguru,'s success threatens the livelihood of mental healthcare practioners and big pharma.

“Pick on” just because you have a bias doesn’t mean that your bias is right. In this video, he did a proper analysis and overview. There are many motivational speakers out there that are con men that say, basic things that help people, but they are still con men.

He's a murderer you Jughead

Fame and popularity???? Lol…. Biggest fake in India fooling around others in the whole world

I have wondered if she killed herself and in an effort to make lemonade out of lemons, he created a different narrative. Also, it would protect his daughter from pain of believing her mother didn't love her enough...

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 Your theories are based on just assumption or conjecture. While you're entitled to your own opinion (delusion?), I'd say try basing your argument based on factual evidence, maybe then it would sell more

@@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?

Yep. Just like the child-Abusing Dalai Lama. And other such "gurus".

I am glad it's only simple thoughts he has the monopoly over 😂🤣🥰

Same fir this dr lol

If he has a monopoly, what's your excuse for that comment? There is immense complexity is all things if you only adjust your perspective slightly. Doing so would show you there are worlds within worlds -- in scales both microscopic + macroscopic. Just because you can't see something doesn't mean it isn't there. All it means is that you're looking through a different lense. That's why you're only seeing simplistic thoughts. :)

He has a center here in the US, near Nashville. The Great American Eclipse of 2017 passed directly over it. Was Sadhguru there for the event? No. He was in India, working to protect the rivers. One data point to show how deeply he cares for such causes.

@@dahawk8574 i didnt know about this. But yeah i agree, he cares so much about the environmental issues

his river project has been failed miserably because they didn't care about the river in the first place but the attention of the people.

Its all yust for his public image and promotion.

There are enough evidences where 20crore trees has been planted already for Cauvery Calling campaign. CNN news 18 has also published a detailed article on this. And Indian government has granted 19k crore for rejuvenation of 13major rivers in india and also thanked Sadhguru as of his policy recommendations through Rally for Rivers!!! Pib India posted in their Twitter in March. It's better to stay silent when you don't know anything!

Wow

I think your do for a little "shut the front door" your an ignorant critic, as the saying goes, "don't kill the messenger" but your request is nothing but a sad attempt.

It would be sure to generate an interesting dialogue (or monologue, as the case would be)

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!" So thats why I think someone who is a fan of his and likes his work, wouldn't dare suggest such a Ludacrous thing for him to do. His work he does and the videos he makes are very informative and valued by many as an insightful path to gain a truthful opinion on the legitimacy of someones public reputation and if they are genuine or fraudulent. I believe Dr. grande is a genuine professional who has gained enough popularity that he will have those who will try turning him into the next Jerry Springer because of wide spectrum if people he has spoken about. Please don't make what he does a dog and pony show, and consider what your asking, before you just blurt it out. It's really not a video I want to see, because it lacks the credibility people have come to expect from him.

Ouch!

lmao it is nonsense, well said

Haha... Great assumption... Then you realize you're too smart and mentally well structured to digest BS... 🤣

I couldn’t follow him either

Brainwashed 🐑

You made the decision to watch his content and practice his teachings, so by definition you saved yourself. Sadhguru just pointed you in the right direction. Too many people worship him to such extremes. Sadhguru is a wonderful teacher and he is nothing more or less than that.

Hindus for Hindus ?doest seem out of the blue ...

He also murdered his wife...

@@kjbrocky There isn't really any evidence pointing towards that claim, but i understand why people would instantly go towards that idea, what i know is that In Buddhist and Yogic tradition theres a practice where one leaves the body behind and goes somewhere else and that's most likely what his wife performed. Theres a ton of buddhist monks that have done it and have been cremated, and some of there bodies are still around till this day. I definetly recognize the corncern though, from the outside looking in it looks like a cult especially after the whole Osho debacle.

Are you able to recognize when he says things that are false? Should people put themselves on pedestals in the way gurus do so? Does Jaggi put himself on a pedestal?

Did looking at a glass of water give you well being

Does he support the racist Hindu caste system?

100% no one is perfect. I love some of Sadhguru wisdom and there's some that I just don't agree with. Other's will always judge, no matter how good/ great one think they are. I would love to know what he thinks of Wayne W Dyer

@@saxglend9439 from what i understand, he dislikes that the caste system became rigidly hereditary, but in any case caste based privileges are enshrined in the indian constitution and have a lot of support, so i'm not sure how much vitriol westerners should levy at indians who are comfortable with it

Same here. At first I thought he might be interesting, but his talking in circles was too frustrating to keep listening to.

Lordy that sounds like Joe Rogan or whatever his name is. Perhaps they were made for each other. I've never heard of this guy either. So I'm curious to see what Dr. Grande has to say about him. Let's have some fun here...

@@gailremp8389 Joe Rogan doesn't talk in circles. That's mostly why so many people like listening to him-- he is direct and to the point.

@@angelarch5352 Rogan pushes falsehoods and easily debunked conspiracy theories.

He killed his wife back in 1997. He’s your standard narcissist cult leader. Listen to a real zen master, this guy is selling ideas that feel enlightening, like all cult leaders have always done. You’ll find some cool ideas with all of them, that’s how they get to their position at the top of the pyramid.

And that’s why he’s successful… He knows how to tell people what they want to hear, and be manipulated you by feeding your needs/wants. Do what you like, just be aware of what’s really happening.

If you didn't care about what other people think, you wouldn't care about what he says either. Self reflection isn't led by someone else.

@@cosmosadorabilis7677 I do care about what others think. Self reflection is almost always facilitated by being in relationships with others or by what other people say and do in relationship to you. If you were not a social being who cannot live without being in some kind of relationship to others there would be no need for self reflection. What would be the point? If you don’t care what others think you don’t need to change anything about yourself. The only purpose of self reflection is to grow and change in the context of others and society!

@@dollcrazy300 sorry, but I am going to sound rude. This sounded like parroted new age ish. This doesn't account for the nuances that comes with life. You also first said that people attach too much importance to the words of others, and that it prevents them from self reflecting. But now, one can't actually exist, without the existence of others? That's the kind of contradictions you find with the teachings of people like jaggi . You obviously can get to self reflect on your own. Many mystics, philosophers, hermits, and monks would attest of that. Personally, as someone with actual Zen influences ( who had disciples, not followers) I can tell you that, distance from others helped me a lot. You do not only exist in relation to others, and you might discover more about you on your own, and by observing yourself and the reaction to things.

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.

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

​ @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...

@@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?

Guess you haven't heard of Jiddhu Krishnamurthy. Even Indians find it hard to distinguish from real gurus and the ones who are in it for the money. In India, it's common to monetize hindu culture.

@@sukomalskumar8361 Yes. I understand that they are referred to as "god-men" and not entirely in a reverent sense."

Perhaps it is a matter of degree. I'm not a joiner of groups, and already have faith in Jesus. But I'm not opposed to smart tips on healthy living.

Yeah I though was a little bit savage if that’s what he truly believes!

@@ram-my6fl Hinduism Today explained that the purpose of cremation soon after death is to untether the soul from the body. Perhaps each explanation has validity.

@@wordsleuth992 it’s rather odd and suspicious behaviour to burn a corpse before a post mortem can by completed. A same day of death cremation is extremely suspicious.

Ohh my 😂 that made me laugh and then go ohhh that's sad too..

Right, that is Toddy's problem, always using psychology to understand everything like a hammer to nail every problem.

You can learn approachable yoga techniques from thousands of gurus that provide it all for free. Todd is right about calling him a business man, he is using yoga and charisma, as well as a big marketing team to accumulate wealth. This selling and marketing of yoga is the biggest red flag you can have - these type of gurus will make you become infatuated with them and spend all your money to realize (hopefully) at some point that their practices lack the grace of an enlightened master and ends you spinning around in an ego trap just as his ego is still governing his being. Real enlightened masters or genuine gurus with their heart in the right place will never put a price tag or a marketing team behind their practices, they may accept donations at your discretion but that's it.

Wait til he starts preaching eating insects to protect the WEF and the EU and whoever globalists he works for lol

@@DeathForSk8 so what, I think he's running his business quite fine. Even if he is charismatic and engaging, the double standard on these guys is nuts tbh. You really think what he's doing would be as successful and globally viable if he wasn't charismatic? If he didn't make money? If he didn't adapt to the system of our world?? I think his ethics are fine, blah blah your whole infatuation thing is silly. Even if that is what happens it's by no means what sadhguru is after. As if people arnt already clgining to there culture and authority figures in the same unhealthy unreasonable way.

@@liamnewsom8583 If you are only seeking a bit of youtube guidance here and there you can surely get it safely from Sadhguru. But if you are a real devotee/ sadhaka, or god forbid, sannyas (monk with 100% life commitment to him) you are being trapped by a man who promises enlightenment and is not enlightened himself. 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).

... he'd go out of business!

What do you mean? How would that prove he is a fraud?

@@Alex-io6ky Whose?

@@Alex-io6ky yo bro this prejudiced dr. todd is trying to throw some shade at sadhguru. he is thinking people will fall for it. he just took bits and pieces of his statements and made up his own shit. i don't even know how these disgusting

@@ram-my6fl Correct, ram ji. This "doctor" clearly did minimal research into Sadhguru.

Sadhguru is great man. He has fantastic advises and a program called "inner engineering" where he promotes yoga, meditation, etc. which is all great. But real guru was and will always be Patanjali. Many people think they can jump to meditation "just like that". But they always fail at it because it's not so easy. Patanjali's yoga contains 8 steps / limbs to reach a state called "Samadhi". In those 8 steps, 7th step is "Dhyana" / meditation. One has to literally pass through all the 6 steps to get there. It takes entire life sacrifice to go deep into spirituality. Unfortunately, modern world is not conducive to such levels of spiritual practices as our thoughts of Lust, Greed, Ego, Anger, Jealousy, Pride can never be destroyed so easily.

@@SebastianSchepis much like what jaggy does when he invalidates people's suffering lol

Oh dear. Say that to a child dying of starvation. No?

Kim, I'm with you. It looks like Dr. Todd finds comfort in critiquing Sadhguru from affar. I asked Dr. Todd to get Sadhguru for an interview. He won't do it, I'm guessing because he lacks the courage of his conviction.

Can you provide and example of a technique please?

I used to find Dr Grande entertaining. After enough videos where he is harshly critiquing people that he has never met and ideas that he really knows very little about, I realized that he's just kind of a pseudo intellectual bully. He gets progressively more smug and narrow minded as time goes on. He takes a slice of a person or situation and does no research. After a while I quit finding him entertaining. It's fine fir him to express his opinion and have the disclaimer that he's not diagnosing but that doesn't make him less unpleasant. He shuns anything spiritual, religious or that is outside of his personal belief system, which is extremely limited. For someone who is a trained psychologist, he takes delight in criticizing others harshly for the purpose of attention. That is somewhat disturbing and says quite a bit about his personal character.

THEN ADMIT TO YOURSELF .I GOT SUCKERED AND PERHAPS I LEARNED TO BE CAREFUL OF WHOM TO SUCK OFF , IF IT LEADS TO A BAD TASTE IN YOUR MOUTH THEN TRUST YOUR SELF AND DONT FALL INTO THE TRAP BY BEING IMPREGNATED BY HIS DECEITFUL REPTILE BABIES, ALSO DOES HE BLOW MY IMAGINATION ? OR HAS HE PROVED IT BY BLOWING MIND AND PHYSICAL BODY , HE BLEW ME APART IN EVERY DEPARTMENT SO I DECIDED TO HAVE HIS BABY BECAUSE I KNOW HIS FUTURE WIFE WILL THANK ME !

Even if there was such a state as 'enlightement', which of course there isn't beyond your own limited intellect, you could not possibly ever say who was or was not enlightened and to make such judgment only goes to show how meaningless the term even is, especially when it comes to a clown like this. So you like the guy and you like what he does, fine, why not just keep it at that without the nonsensical misleading fluff ??

Was it Viji's father? 🤔

Here are some even wiser words of wisdom: Never fall for a guru."

@@redwoods7370 You've forgotten something even more important: Nor a Pastor, Catholic Priest etc.

Wow, someone had to tell you that.

you have no understanding of what guru is. in the hindu culture the saying goes" mother, father, guru and then self io god" in that order. Mother is given higher respect than father and hgur is respected higher than god. you dont blindly love but you consciously give respect.

And the old witch doctors who believed in farcical voodoo nonsense were actually able to treat mild conditions with medicinal herbs and were often one of the few people who could help carry out and relieve child birth in some tribal societies? Just because what they said about X is right, doesn't mean they're infallible about Y and Z.

I think he’s also referring to the vast neuronal distribution throughout the guy, which actually has as many neurons and connections as the brain. It is just distributed like a mycelium rather than localized.

Ya, its just that eating healthy is good for you and maked you feel better.

It actually is savage; as in treating a man so many respect as a teacher in a nasty childish manner. It's as if someone said to Dr.G....you aint a REAL Doctor pal I'm just gonna call you whatever I want...not what you prefer because I don't respect your Culture. Americans can be so ignorant.

I loved when he called Eckhart tolle a “bologna cannon” 💥 💀 For the record I still like listening to sadguru and Eckhart tolle. Both definitely have some nuggets of wisdom to share. But both are human so don’t take them too seriously 😅

First of all Sadhguru's name is Jagadish Vasudev. 'Jaggi' is his pet name that only his closest family address him as. As an interviewer, who is a complete stranger, do you automatically jump to calling people by their pet name? He's not asking you to address him as his holiness or your highness, it's just the name everyone started calling him by, "Sadhguru". The interviewer could've at the very least addressed him respectfully, but clearly he was trying to instigate him.

Also hands and feet. Nerve plexus

Eckhart Tolle is genuine...he's only promoting Mindfulness - These others are just making money off of the public and repeat nonsense.

Exactly!

I agree

I feel like Krishnamurti (and maybe Mooji) is considerably more reasonable than the other people - he doesn't really make any unusual metaphysical claims, he just describes mindfulness in a really apt way.
