Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev

Equally at home trekking barefoot through the Himalayas as riding a motorcycle on the expressway, meeting with world leaders or speaking with farmers in rural communities, Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev is a contemporary mystic rooted as strongly in worldly and pragmatic matters as he is in inner experience and wisdom. He posts articles covering such topics as health and well-being, cultivating meaningful relationships, living joyfully, enhancing human consciousness and how to make this planet a better place to live.

Vasudev is the author of over 50 books, the subject of four books and co-author of the Amazon bestseller "Midnights with the Mystic." His public talks frequently draw crowds of over 300,000 people. Named one of “India’s 50 Most Influential People,” his interviews are featured in The New York Times, BBC, Bloomberg, CNNI and CNBC.

Yogi, mystic and visionary, Vasudev 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of profundity and pragmatism, his life and work serve as a reminder that yoga is not an esoteric discipline from an outdated past, but a contemporary science, vitally relevant to our times.

Vasudev is widely sought-after by prestigious global forums to address issues as diverse as human rights, business values, and social, environmental and existential concerns. His astute and incisive grasp of current issues and world affairs, as well as his unerringly scientific approach to the question of human wellbeing, has universally impressed listeners across the globe.

Vasudev's talks have earned him the reputation of a speaker and opinion-maker of international renown. He has been a delegate to the United Nations Millennium World Peace Summit, a special invitee to the Australian Leadership Retreat and the Tallberg Forum, as well as a regular speaker at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

Vasudev is also the founder of the Isha Foundation, a non-profit organization that has been dedicated to the wellbeing of the individual and the world for the past three decades.

“Sadhguru” means, “one who comes from deep inner experience,” rather than teaching or tradition. His deep understanding of life and beyond is not drawn from books or scriptures but originates from within. An inspiring leader, a profound poet, a source of boundless energy, Vasudev is an intriguing blend of ancient wisdom and modern insight. Dubbed “India’s most rational mystic,” he is a living paradox -- irreverent yet compassionate, rational yet esoteric.

Vasudev, a yogi and profound mystic of our times, is a visionary humanitarian and a prominent spiritual leader. A contemporary Guru, rooted as strongly in mundane and pragmatic matters as he is in inner experience and wisdom, Vasudev works tirelessly towards the physical, mental, and spiritual well-being of all. His mastery of the mechanisms of life, an outcome of his profound experience of the Self, guides in exploring the subtler dimensions of life. His scientific and logical methods touched many from all walks of life, inspiring innumerable people to seek this opportunity within themselves.
