Following a spiritual experience at the age of 25, Sadhguru Vasudev became a mystic; he started conducting yoga classes to share his inner experience with the aim of making ancient yogic sciences relevant to contemporary minds. The Sadhguru founded the Isha Foundation which now has more than two million volunteers, and over 150 city-based centres world- wide. In 2012 he was voted among the hundred most powerful Indians.

    The only talk of Sadhguru I have heard where the Audience seemed nonexistent!!!
  • @gazbradshaw
    I'm British and I can safely say we're not all made of stone :-) sadhguru is the wisest man love you dude !!!
  • @TheFamous35
    Wisdom for all. He is not asking you to believe; he asking you to seek.
  • @caviper1
    I don´t care about the audience. I care about him. He is a great individual.
  • @artistsurafel

  • @daveturco57
    Don't worry about the audience-pay attention to the speaker
  • @tjkoovalloor
    In this busy world people don't know what to eat, how to live, etc. SadhGuru is a Man of Wisdom. He is still living in this planet. In my opinion, those who are seeking for wisdom should learn some thing from SadhGuru. Even my son , a University Graduate from the United States, like his way of teachings. My son sent me this video. Please take a look.

    This guy is so cool and hypnotic, but I had no idea who he was. Thanks for introducing me Oxford Union!!
  • This guy for some reason does not stress or think, he has always been like this. He is basically blessed.
  • I feel it is unfair to blame the audience. We need to understand that we are naturally acquainted and oriented to our culture. As a result whatever Sadhguru says we can very easily relate to. However, for the people like these it may take some time and it is perfectly fine. I am really very happy to see that at least they are willing and this itself paves the way for great possibilities. May we all know this piece of LIFE in its entirety by his grace and blessings. With love From India

    I am just left spellbound. The mystic himself imparting the profound wisdom of ancient yogic sciences. This is the most relevant thing today. Oxford has done a great job. Our idea of science is very constipated. There's a whole science and technology in the realm of consciousness. The time has come for the world to not believe in any dogmatic religion and try it out and see for itself what place can an inner quest lead them to. Amazing session. Namaste from India 🙏
