Guddu Rangila is a sensation in Bihar and East UP. His sexualised songs, mostly constructed around Holi, are crass and vulgar -- and reveal a mindset obsessed with rape.
Under BJP govt -- be it Modi's mango fondness, Nirmala Sitharaman's onion remark or Kailash Vijayvargiya's poha jibe -- food has been increasingly politicised in India.
Women from a college run by followers of Swaminarayan Temple in Gujarat's Bhuj were ‘paraded’ to washrooms so teachers could check if they were bleeding from their vagina.
The protest by Shaheen Bagh residents is a response to electoral politics, but what they are articulating with their silence and their words is above and beyond it.
Don’t read too much in Natalie Portman’s cape with names of snubbed female directors or in four awards to Korean drama Parasite. Oscars is yet to come of age.
There are people inside and outside of Iran who do not feel sorry for President Raisi’s death. Some of them are trying to take advantage of this tragedy to pursue their own political goals.
Petrol & diesel prices have barely changed since June 2022, even though oil prices have fallen 28% since then. This has boosted profitability of OMCs and dividend payouts to govt.
ThePrint had reported earlier this month that while theaterisation is the ultimate goal, set to be rolled out one year from now, the focus is on structured jointness initiatives by 2024-end.
Discussion about outcome of Lok Sabha polls continues to boil in cauldron of expectations only from BJP. Now reverse this equation, what if we asked about the performance of the 'loser'?
In the misogynist/feminism part of the article, the author has not explained how what he said is unscientific. It is written as merely a report, except that she has written “Much like typical men’s rights activists”, so it seems like she just has a prejudice and disagreement with men’s rights activists who are advocating for gender equality for men and resolving the issues faced by men. But she has not clarified why she has this attitude towards them.
Sit with sadhguru some day, please, even for few minutes, he will leave you transformed. Believe me we need many like him….Enlightened beings like him leave this world a better place..They have brought many out of misery, given joy to many , provided bliss to many…They have taught many of us to find happiness by our own nature.
Also dont discount his philanthropic initiatives, cauvery calling, isha vidya, rally for river, save trees are few of many. Poor or rich he is bringing many out of their survival instincts of hatred, depression, ill health, frustration etc.
This world will become a better place if we have many like him.
Wow! Am I reading this for real ? The writer is ignorant and immature, and it seems like s/he has been living under a rock.
Why are people who have never worked on learning about the world beyond textbooks, and rely heavily commercially-motivated and sponsored ‘scientific’ researches allowed to mislead the masses ?
I’m sad because only raising collective consciousness will save the earth, and I don’t see it happening in a long time.
I am no Jaggi Vasudev fan and neither do I follow him, but calling him out on the specific issues you quoted in the article only shows how ignorant you are.
The world has been awakening to these facts in the past few years, where have you been ? Wake up! You are more.
“The world has been awakening to these facts in the past few years”. Vow, great to know. Btw, what “facts” are these that the world as you say is awakening to? I think the only people who get impressed by his “lectures” are those who are too scared to think for themselves and who are scared to put in the hard work to understand the nature around them. This way, any person with good speaking skills can fool you. Just imagine if J. K. Rowling, instead of selling Harry Potter as a child-fantasy series, had instead put on a mystical costume, learned to speak in deep sounding words which are otherwise empty of reason or logic or honesty, and demonstrated how certain “wands” can distinguish stale food from fresh ones and what not (remember something).
To begin with, intermittent fasting is prevalent only because of the research that warranted a Nobel prize.
The whole yogic culture and almost every culture around the world lays down the points and reasons to fast. ( Sadhguru ofcourse does since this has to do with the human body and simply upgrade it, and that’s what the whole yogic domain is about ) .
Water memory, is ongoing research. Guess whose leading the research? The same person who won the Nobel prize for discovering HIV ( luc montagnier, check him out there are a lot of scientific videos on youtube )
Ongoing research means, the possibility is being explored.
But you seem to know a lot more about what is and is not possible so I’ll get Me. Luc to come speak with you.
Luc Montagnier went full idiot after he won his Nobel prize. No one thinks of him as a scientist now. Scientists are angry with him constantly saying stupid things because he now thinks he can say whatever he feels like without showing proof.

Luc Montagnier Is Not Losing It. Luc Montagnier Has Lost It.
By Derek Lowe 29 May, 2012
Water Memory is not ongoing research, its pseudoscience.
The Nobel Research was Autophagy, not Intermittent Fasting. Apparently, Intermittent Fasting fans linked the two, the Nobel Laureate didn’t.
Ignorance to another level. Completely blinded journalist. I pray for you and wish you a speedy recovery.
You should probably Google and search for all the medically proven facts that support his theory. Good luck! You need it.
Negative journalism is print, wire etc…they only print articles which are against BJP..they don’t go to edit or check the authenticity of the article… anything anti BJP, anti modi they get a place in print…print is yellow Journalism..
Chill people. Harvard and Oxford are inviting Sadhguru and appreciating him. Some amateur journalists who are not appriciated by anyone are telling something. Some people stay amateur for a long long time 🙂
And yet, not a mention of him on Harvard or Oxford web sites.
Someone should tell them what he did to his wife.
Come on man! If you just go to Harvard website and search “Sadhguru”, you’ll infact find many articles there.
Now my question is why did you not try it before commenting here ?
There are 55 results. Out of which, only 2 actually have anything to do with him. Harvard should fix their web search.
1 is a list of speeches of a lot of Indian babas.
Other 1 is a desi doctor in Boston with a simple survey study to see if patients had better mood after 4 day isha program. Its a silly study. If he sends you on a 4 day vacation, you will also say your mood got better. Just sit in a park and watch birds, your mood will improve, even more than listening to this baba’s bragging sessions.
With a limited knowledge that u have ,source of your knowledge being high school books, not attempting to research or experiment and the great confidence in your ignorance, you will never understand or even attempt to understand what sadhguru or even for that matter anybody else wants to tell things out. People like you will believe in things which you think to be in favourable to your likes. What sadhguru says is way beyond your attempts to your thoughts or knowledge. If you don’t understand anything, I think it’s better you keep your mouth shut, atleast don’t show how ugly and least you know or you analyse things. Don’t show up your stinky side of your brain.
And “The Print” don’t you guys have a check on the article that are posted on? This so brings down your prestige of having a good site to read from.. Just look at the comment section how many of them are agreeing and disagreeing to the article. Please increase your quality of your quality check. I assure you, I would not get on to this site again what-so-ever to refer. Like me I don’t know how many would have come to this decision.
I thought the author had done some research on the topics. Well, you proved me wrong.
I know it is under the opinions page and I understand maybe some misinformation or misleading articles might have driven the author. It is totally fine but I request the author to look into the topics. We need more courageous journalists like you for sure but you must also have clarity on the matters you are discussing. And let me tell you I don’t support the CAA. I also think it is discriminatory in nature and against the nature of our country. Sadhguru has his opinion on it. If you think what he is talking is right you accept it( maybe do some research too and accept it) if you don’t, it’s okay, you may protest. That’s all your choice. Just like that, it is Sadhguru’s choice too whether support or protest against something. Please respect that. That is where real freedom prevails.
Water memory is a completely discredited pseudoscience. One of the articles you cited are arguing why this pseudoscience should not be given further space. Other one you cited has no relation to water memory. Looks like you did not understand what you read.
Jaggi Vasudev was criticized for saying left breast and right breast give different milk, not for saying milk may differ in case of single child. Even that research is questionable. It is a small study from Africa not verified further.
Jaggi Vasudev is your standard commercial unenlightened baba for unenlightened followers who want to think they are enlightened. He thinks he can see through clothes and claims he has supernatural powers.
You just have stopped with your high school science and thought you knew everything… All that you mentioned , water having memory etc is being discovered in higher level modern science…
@Shubhangi Misra – The next you write an article on anything please do your homeowrk right. You have no knowledge of science which qualifies you to write if water has memory or not. Please do a yourself a favour and google about the water experiment by Dr Masaru Emoto – japanese scientist. Stop fooling yourself.
You people are the barrier for the development of our society.we all know that what Sadhguru is doing for our society.For your clarification watch RJ RAUNAC youtube video on sadhguru
I heard Sadhguru in person in Wellington in late nineties. He impressed me with his mystic outlook and I started following the Motor Cycle Baba’s evolution over the years. In one instance he candidly confessed that at one stage he was hesitant to build an organisation around his name, as it inevitably leads to compromises with the powers that be and one generally ends up diverging from one’s original purpose. The organisation takes over and forces one to expand and grow at a cost. Lately, he appears to have fallen prey to his own prediction. Very sad and disappointing.
Not in the case of twins, which is what he was specifically claiming.
He was saying that one breast will give one type of milk and another, another type, for a different twin of different gender.
Do they come labelled? Obviously not.
The writers tone and words lack objectivity and reek of hatred towards the person she is writing about.
This is the typical gang who writes in the print, the quint, ndtv as they select only those who bashes BJP, modi, anything hindu for their survival, and cry intolerance from roof top without realizing their childish remarks have been tolerated, and about breast milk it is read in many articles about mothers milk adjusting to itself and these third rate writers who only knows to bash to get their orgasms without verification, let them have it and be ignorant, live in their own cocoon.
Subhangi Misraaa get some life , utleast that man has done sooo Many things for the country, Water has memory ,if u don’t believe that u you’re another dumb feminist, even females these days say they aren’t feminist,
Just tell me what the heck have u done for this country, you’re just another keyboard warrior, so buzzoff
While the generation has certainly needed a Sadguru like him for way too many aspects ..We certainly need these noob journalist’s for sure.That is the critical balance between misinformations over another! Even as to acknowledge mere one perspective of the author ranting loosely.I don’t prefer believing every thing the old man has to say either ?
Have you noticed how the left eco system include the wire, the print and all the Nehruvian supporters are now attacking Sadhguru in one voice? Almost on a daily basis an article pops up about Sadhguru who they love to call ‘Jagii Vasudev’ in their tweets to disrespect him. The eco system hates Indias indigenous culture and anything to do with Hindus. Shameful attempt to misalign a man who has done much greater good to the community to the planet through his saving river and planting tree initiatives than all of this 2 paisa so called journalist combined.
He should stick to his area of business. Wire, Print and the like are critical of him, as he ranks on areas in which his knowledge is sub zero. He can’t walk away with his misinformation just because of his language command.. also he is politically partisan, you know which side he is in and perhaps that’s the reason you support him..
This is what we called pseudo liberal, the way you misinterpreted his talk shows your level of understanding, things which are beyond your understanding and not set in the frame of Western science book doesn’t mean not exist. One thing I noticed by the movement he exposed left wing PRINT started attacking personally which shows print ideological inclination.
Wah. After a long time I am reading something worthy. Once upon a time I was a big fan of his discourse. Heard and heard and read few books also. But at the end he didn’t come upto my expectations. Great orrator of the time!!!
Good article. Most of Sadhguru’s comments and video bites are puke worthy.
If the young hindu population in India (men and women) are looking for an ideal, mentor to support a hindu revival, they can do way better than a lowly marketeer like Sadhguru. First be a true renaissance person by introspecting, evaluating and discarding the bad practices in hinduism that are out of sync with 21st century and scientific thinking.
Hello shubhangi,
This was a cringeworthy read, to say the least. You can’t be writing such baseless garbage with the attitude of a best-selling author. This article is a clear window into your frame of mind, and it doesn’t look even basically nourished. The testimony to this is the point that you cannot see things with an ounce of clarity. And whatever little you see seems to be contorted more than what human wonder is capable of. And people believe that’s limitless.
If you you’re going to continue writing and that too with the intent of being incisive and sharp ( which you’re so visibly lying to yourself about ) , you approach needs a lot more work. This doesn’t even cut it. Sorry to say.
Hope to see better articles from you in the future. The print is a great media outlet. Try not to relegate their reputation which has been build with years of hardwork.
And also, keep real journalism alive.
As a Indian I feel disgusted at this article. I feel like all my learning is waste. How can a sage Baba be wrong? This article is definately a move from Pakistan who can’t bear our happiness. Our country doesn’t need progress we are happy as it is. Modi ji is doing everything for us. Corona virus cannot harm us as we have sacred cow dung and gaumutra. We need more Babas to promote about our invulnerable culture and it should start from early childhood. Sadhguru is God and we should not only respect him but promote him. Shame on you
I know it is under the opinions page and I understand maybe some misinformation or misleading articles might have driven the author. It is totally fine but I request the author to look into the topics. We need more courageous journalists like you for sure but you must also have clarity on the matters you are discussing.

You Hate Hindus & People Who SPEAK For it, Go Get Yourself Some Doctors i would love to read articles on SHARIA & How Sharia Killed So many innocent Women worldwide, I would love articles on no democracy in saudi arabia, i would love articles on how saudi is funding terrorism in weak democracy, i want you to have some shame because you bigots are cowards or salves to the west or middle east who are selling their selves this not media this is fcking propaganda so go fck yourself
Why is it always when someone writes something about a Hindu Baba, the reaction is write something about Muslims and middle East? The writer is Hindu, the website is owned by a hindu what did Muslims do in this? Please do not make it about religion. Please.
the writer is filled with spite and hate towards sadhguru ji she lost it bcoz of hatred . Sadhguru will not shut if anyone need to shut up its this useless writer . shut up you filth !!
Err madam, do you think the breasts ooze different types of milk for male and female children? Just asking….
Just because u don’t know some things doesn’t mean that they don’t exist
You please do some research and then come here and tell it doesn’t. Am sure if you have spent some time doing some bloody research. There are enough studies made on it to prove it as well and the other way around also. So please you tell us.
He should not be invited to any public function to speak or even attend to expose his stupidity. Once shown is enough. Last week one of my friends, who stays in old age colony in Coimbatore, told me that he has violated many environmental rules and norms while constructing his Ashram and he talks on environment!!!
That is where dear, you show your stupidity. You believed one of your friends and he believed a fake and planned propaganda of The Wire against Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev.
You talk of him not knowing still speaking.. what about you dear???
First go see everything then speak.
Dear writer, exercise your right. Don’t tell others to shut up. That is not democratice. None is perfect. None is omniscient. Does it mean that you should shut him up on topics about which he speaks sensibly, though it is opposed to the left-liberal discourse.
Whatever Sadguru says is his right under freedom of expression. If anyone disagrees he has a right too to do so. When it comes to Spirituality, you cant logically see things as seen in the case of Sciences, so stop creating a fuss against the Sadguru. When Sadguru says Not only women but all must have rights, it simply means that he believes in humanity and thinks all equal without any kind of discrimination including that of the gender. It is also true that feminists choose to live in constant ‘reactionary’ mode.”.
Words and actions have tremendous effect on human beings that is why we console each other in the events of stress and grief. So our words soothe other person and help him. Likewise when a Guru or revered person given water after blowing it or chanting some verses over it, it works to benefit the person it is given because of his belief in it. Spiritual things are wonderful and still out of the grasp of most logic and material science.
What he is being criticized for is not spiritual talk, but for lacking basic understanding of clear cut science.
Spirituality has nothing to do with science.
Why do babas always claims they know science even though it is clear they never studied it.
Why do they think they get cosmic understanding by just meditating. You don’t and he constantly proves that.
It is he who has no grasp of most logic and material science.
On spirituality he can say whatever he wants because it is all fiction anyway.
You think women in India live in a fair society? Feminists are only reactionary? You really need to start thinking about the enormous unfairness women have in India and the Middle East.
Hahahahaha. This left me chuckling. Exactly my thoughts on what’s it’s turning out to be like.
Thanks for using democracy to puke up your hatred for and ignorance about Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev.
If all your allegations are assumed to be true, there’s no logical explanation to why top level scientists, UN members, various other knowledgeable people, entrepreneurs like Dr. Mazumdar Shaw are seeking his guidance or even willing to sit with him for any discussion.
So, it would be a sensible thing for your to keep your prejudice and hatred aside and if you can’t support him in his humanitarian work, at least don’t puke out venom. Use your brain a bit!
To remind, now that the whole world wants to praise Swami Vivekananda, in his times, people like you had only condemned him.
May sense dawn upon you! Try attending one of Sadhguru’s inner engineering course. Some sense may creep in.
I’ve attended his courses, and I agree with Shubhangi. When someone is wrong you accept it, that’s the basic necessity of being an “enlightened” human being. Besides Swami Vivekananda, wasn’t faff. Just saying!
Okay Bhagwa terrorist
Keep reading whatsapp forward s
Nice article. I was sick of this guy speaking on every subjects. It’s clear that there are people who don’t like his blabber.
There are a lot of these people , who like doing what most of us like doing , talk .While ordinary people like us do not get the opportunity , these guys get it and use it to their full leverage to show themselves as the fools they are . All in all it is nice entertainment .
IRRATIONAL ARTICLE…. But not ur fault… Seemingly u don’t have intellect to understand his reasons…. All enlightened( more than normal ) beings are there to tell us THE TRUTH … Which most of us don’t want to know or can’t understand… DO FOCUS MORE ON HIS EXPLANATIONS…
Well, you can rearrange the molecules without changing water’s chemical composition. Water can be vaporized giving it a gaseous form and also made to ice which is solid. Molecules are more closely packed in solids and the chemical formula of ice is “voila” H2O.
To talk about “greed for money that has led to the rise of patriarchy and ended up giving men a higher position in society.” Isn’t it true? Though more and more women are getting leadership positions, we just cannot look the other way and say that women are not overlooked when competing against a man. Unfortunately that is how our society is.
Now for my thoughts, it is a poorly written article much like a post one writes on facebook where they rant about how the other person is incorrect and how we are correct. I do not know how come such articles find their way on the web on a website which has a credible name “Shekhar Gupta” behind it.
SHUBHANGI MISRA who doesn’t even have the courage show her face in her profile comes out with all sorts of nonsensical arguments against Jaggi Vasudev. This author thinks that Jaggi doesn’t understand CAA but anti-CAA protesters do even if they can’t spell the CAA. Isn’t Jaggi entitled for his views as this author does? Many scientists themselves want to hear Jaggi. It looks this author is suffering from ignorance caused by superiority complex.
All that I know of Mr Vasudev is limited to what I heard him speak on his videos that I watched on the net. He speaks well, with a south Indian accent and an occasional American twang. He appears to be able to answer questions on mysteries of life, generally, with a logical reasoning. That, perhaps, attracts the educated middle class when compared to other self-employed God-men or women who offer over-the-counter divine solutions for bread and butter issues of daily life. The lower Indian middle class needs a quick fix, so there is a huge market (and ever growing one!!) out there for these self-employed guys. With no licensing requirements, and there being absolutely no need for initial seed capital, you’re ready to launch with minimum investment; a set of clothes with a particular colour!
Mr Vasudev is a successful businessman; how his Isha Foundation products are priced in various markets should prove to be a case study on pricing strategies.
Hello Dharamsen
I agree with your response – which is closer to the truth of what JV is. He is logical, and talks mostly sense, except sometimes things which one tends to disbelieve in or not in agreement with. I feel that he should desist from the exhibitionism that he is engaged in at the moment and his too much brushing with money matters. Rajaneesh has fallen for his 99 Rolls royces and JV would for his multicrore religious projects. Does he need all this? Let him be more simple and unassuming. Truth shines in simplicity.
Dear Print
Even though I am not a supporter of Sadguru.but the u r showing hate is unfathomable.please don’t hate that much anyone.reagarding him,he say his views,opinions and everyone should not agree on it.u can disagree his opinions but by adding somany adjectives/hate vocubalary clearly showing u r biased journalism.regarding Rivers could u please tell or write an article how to save it.atleast could u read his action plan.he even meantioned what he is doing is not sufficient.btw he is making farmers to plant commercial viable for them in that way benefitting both.Regarding feminism please watch other lectures at Western audience.even they also accepted his opinions&I think they are educated,high profile women also there&they are not dumb.
Since you are supposed to be all knowing, and that presently there are Anti-CAA protests going on, what clauses of the CAA are these people objecting against? We have seen many videos were people are even struggling to give the full form of CAA and yet they are protesting.
So, kindly give piece of your wisdom
Article on research by German scientists 2018 on water has memory.
From physics : even black hole has memory. Please read advances in this area post hawking.
Any idiot can call himself a scientist these days. Some did on this very page.
That was who Masaru Emoto was, an idiot with a fake PhD degree from a scam university from our own country.
And other idiots decided that “a Japanese scientist discovered that water has memory”.
He didn’t and anyone who believed that was a fool.
Now you guys started with “German scientists” crap. I googled it and it turns out that all these web sites that declare that, are stupid web sites and they don’t say who these “german scientists” are. That’s not how science is announced.
This is the reason why you guys follow godmen. You are just easy to fool. Not because you are spiritual, which you are not.
In the misogynist/feminism part of the article, the author has not explained how what he said is unscientific. It is written as merely a report, except that she has written “Much like typical men’s rights activists”, so it seems like she just has a prejudice and disagreement with men’s rights activists who are advocating for gender equality for men and resolving the issues faced by men.

Way more to go girl before you prove that you worth a job as writer/journalist or whatever.
Your article sounds more like anger than an article LOL ?
It was a case closed long before you were born…. please get a life
???
Sit with sadhguru some day, please, even for few minutes, he will leave you transformed. Believe me we need many like him….Enlightened beings like him leave this world a better place..They have brought many out of misery, given joy to many , provided bliss to many…They have taught many of us to find happiness by our own nature.
Also dont discount his philanthropic initiatives, cauvery calling, isha vidya, rally for river, save trees are few of many. Poor or rich he is bringing many out of their survival instincts of hatred, depression, ill health, frustration etc.
This world will become a better place if we have many like him.
This article is for cheap publicity by finding nonexistent faults with an achiever, Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev

I thought the author had done some research on the topics. Well, you proved me wrong.
I know it is under the opinions page and I understand maybe some misinformation or misleading articles might have driven the author. It is totally fine but I request the author to look into the topics. We need more courageous journalists like you for sure but you must also have clarity on the matters you are discussing. And let me tell you I don’t support the CAA. I also think it is discriminatory in nature and against the nature of our country. Sadhguru has his opinion on it. If you think what he is talking is right you accept it( maybe do some research too and accept it) if you don’t, it’s okay, you may protest. That’s all your choice. Just like that, it is Sadhguru’s choice too whether support or protest against something. Please respect that. That is where real freedom prevails.
Water memory is a completely discredited pseudoscience. One of the articles you cited are arguing why this pseudoscience should not be given further space. Other one you cited has no relation to water memory. Looks like you did not understand what you read.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_memory
Jaggi Vasudev was criticized for saying left breast and right breast give different milk, not for saying milk may differ in case of single child. Even that research is questionable. It is a small study from Africa not verified further.
Jaggi Vasudev is your standard commercial unenlightened baba for unenlightened followers who want to think they are enlightened. He thinks he can see through clothes and claims he has supernatural powers.
You just have stopped with your high school science and thought you knew everything… All that you mentioned , water having memory etc is being discovered in higher level modern science…
Can you give a reference from this “higher level modern science” where you claim this is being discovered?
Would really like to read good articles on this. Please share. Thank you.
To the Writer Subhangi,
You have No Idea what you talking about.You talk Shit and just trying to get Limelight.Stop it!
@Shubhangi Misra – The next you write an article on anything please do your homeowrk right. You have no knowledge of science which qualifies you to write if water has memory or not. Please do a yourself a favour and google about the water experiment by Dr Masaru Emoto – japanese scientist. Stop fooling yourself.
Shubhangi please get yourself checked….
You people are the barrier for the development of our society.we all know that what Sadhguru is doing for our society.For your clarification watch RJ RAUNAC youtube video on sadhguru
I heard Sadhguru in person in Wellington in late nineties. He impressed me with his mystic outlook and I started following the Motor Cycle Baba’s evolution over the years. In one instance he candidly confessed that at one stage he was hesitant to build an organisation around his name, as it inevitably leads to compromises with the powers that be and one generally ends up diverging from one’s original purpose. The organisation takes over and forces one to expand and grow at a cost. Lately, he appears to have fallen prey to his own prediction. Very sad and disappointing.
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/boys-and-girls-may-get-different-breast-milk/
Not in the case of twins, which is what he was specifically claiming.
He was saying that one breast will give one type of milk and another, another type, for a different twin of different gender.
Do they come labelled? Obviously not.
The writers tone and words lack objectivity and reek of hatred towards the person she is writing about.
This is the typical gang who writes in the print, the quint, ndtv as they select only those who bashes BJP, modi, anything hindu for their survival, and cry intolerance from roof top without realizing their childish remarks have been tolerated, and about breast milk it is read in many articles about mothers milk adjusting to itself and these third rate writers who only knows to bash to get their orgasms without verification, let them have it and be ignorant, live in their own cocoon.
Subhangi Misraaa get some life , utleast that man has done sooo Many things for the country, Water has memory ,if u don’t believe that u you’re another dumb feminist, even females these days say they aren’t feminist,
Just tell me what the heck have u done for this country, you’re just another keyboard warrior, so buzzoff
While the generation has certainly needed a Sadguru like him for way too many aspects ..We certainly need these noob journalist’s for sure.That is the critical balance between misinformations over another! Even as to acknowledge mere one perspective of the author ranting loosely.I don’t prefer believing every thing the old man has to say either ?
Have you noticed how the left eco system include the wire, the print and all the Nehruvian supporters are now attacking Sadhguru in one voice? Almost on a daily basis an article pops up about Sadhguru who they love to call ‘Jagii Vasudev’ in their tweets to disrespect him. The eco system hates Indias indigenous culture and anything to do with Hindus. Shameful attempt to misalign a man who has done much greater good to the community to the planet through his saving river and planting tree initiatives than all of this 2 paisa so called journalist combined.
He should stick to his area of business. Wire, Print and the like are critical of him, as he ranks on areas in which his knowledge is sub zero. He can’t walk away with his misinformation just because of his language command.. also he is politically partisan, you know which side he is in and perhaps that’s the reason you support him..
True..well said…
Read this: https://facthunt.in/posts/926/No,-Sadhguru's-claim-of-child-gender-based-changes-in-breast-milk-is-not-unscientific
This is what we called pseudo liberal, the way you misinterpreted his talk shows your level of understanding, things which are beyond your understanding and not set in the frame of Western science book doesn’t mean not exist. One thing I noticed by the movement he exposed left wing PRINT started attacking personally which shows print ideological inclination.
Wah. After a long time I am reading something worthy. Once upon a time I was a big fan of his discourse. Heard and heard and read few books also. But at the end he didn’t come upto my expectations. Great orrator of the time!!!
Good article. Most of Sadhguru’s comments and video bites are puke worthy.
If the young hindu population in India (men and women) are looking for an ideal, mentor to support a hindu revival, they can do way better than a lowly marketeer like Sadhguru. First be a true renaissance person by introspecting, evaluating and discarding the bad practices in hinduism that are out of sync with 21st century and scientific thinking.
Hello shubhangi,
This was a cringeworthy read, to say the least. You can’t be writing such baseless garbage with the attitude of a best-selling author. This article is a clear window into your frame of mind, and it doesn’t look even basically nourished. The testimony to this is the point that you cannot see things with an ounce of clarity. And whatever little you see seems to be contorted more than what human wonder is capable of. And people believe that’s limitless.
If you you’re going to continue writing and that too with the intent of being incisive and sharp ( which you’re so visibly lying to yourself about ) , you approach needs a lot more work. This doesn’t even cut it. Sorry to say.
Hope to see better articles from you in the future. The print is a great media outlet. Try not to relegate their reputation which has been build with years of hardwork.
And also, keep real journalism alive.
As a Indian I feel disgusted at this article. I feel like all my learning is waste. How can a sage Baba be wrong? This article is definately a move from Pakistan who can’t bear our happiness. Our country doesn’t need progress we are happy as it is. Modi ji is doing everything for us. Corona virus cannot harm us as we have sacred cow dung and gaumutra. We need more Babas to promote about our invulnerable culture and it should start from early childhood. Sadhguru is God and we should not only respect him but promote him. Shame on you
Wish someone knocked some sense into you! Because you wrote things that are not even legit quoted by him!
I know it is under the opinions page and I understand maybe some misinformation or misleading articles might have driven the author. It is totally fine but I request the author to look into the topics. We need more courageous journalists like you for sure but you must also have clarity on the matters you are discussing.

You Hate Hindus & People Who SPEAK For it, Go Get Yourself Some Doctors i would love to read articles on SHARIA & How Sharia Killed So many innocent Women worldwide, I would love articles on no democracy in saudi arabia, i would love articles on how saudi is funding terrorism in weak democracy, i want you to have some shame because you bigots are cowards or salves to the west or middle east who are selling their selves this not media this is fcking propaganda so go fck yourself
Why is it always when someone writes something about a Hindu Baba, the reaction is write something about Muslims and middle East? The writer is Hindu, the website is owned by a hindu what did Muslims do in this? Please do not make it about religion. Please.
the writer is filled with spite and hate towards sadhguru ji she lost it bcoz of hatred . Sadhguru will not shut if anyone need to shut up its this useless writer . shut up you filth !!
Err madam, do you think the breasts ooze different types of milk for male and female children? Just asking….
Just because u don’t know some things doesn’t mean that they don’t exist
You please do some research and then come here and tell it doesn’t. Am sure if you have spent some time doing some bloody research. There are enough studies made on it to prove it as well and the other way around also. So please you tell us.
He should not be invited to any public function to speak or even attend to expose his stupidity. Once shown is enough. Last week one of my friends, who stays in old age colony in Coimbatore, told me that he has violated many environmental rules and norms while constructing his Ashram and he talks on environment!!!
That is where dear, you show your stupidity. You believed one of your friends and he believed a fake and planned propaganda of The Wire against Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev.
You talk of him not knowing still speaking.. what about you dear???
First go see everything then speak.
Dear writer, exercise your right. Don’t tell others to shut up. That is not democratice. None is perfect. None is omniscient. Does it mean that you should shut him up on topics about which he speaks sensibly, though it is opposed to the left-liberal discourse.
Whatever Sadguru says is his right under freedom of expression. If anyone disagrees he has a right too to do so. When it comes to Spirituality, you cant logically see things as seen in the case of Sciences, so stop creating a fuss against the Sadguru. When Sadguru says Not only women but all must have rights, it simply means that he believes in humanity and thinks all equal without any kind of discrimination including that of the gender. It is also true that feminists choose to live in constant ‘reactionary’ mode.”.
Words and actions have tremendous effect on human beings that is why we console each other in the events of stress and grief. So our words soothe other person and help him. Likewise when a Guru or revered person given water after blowing it or chanting some verses over it, it works to benefit the person it is given because of his belief in it. Spiritual things are wonderful and still out of the grasp of most logic and material science.
What he is being criticized for is not spiritual talk, but for lacking basic understanding of clear cut science.
Spirituality has nothing to do with science.
Why do babas always claims they know science even though it is clear they never studied it.
Why do they think they get cosmic understanding by just meditating. You don’t and he constantly proves that.
It is he who has no grasp of most logic and material science.
On spirituality he can say whatever he wants because it is all fiction anyway.
You think women in India live in a fair society? Feminists are only reactionary? You really need to start thinking about the enormous unfairness women have in India and the Middle East.
Hahahahaha. This left me chuckling. Exactly my thoughts on what’s it’s turning out to be like.
Ms Shubhangi Misra,
Thanks for using democracy to puke up your hatred for and ignorance about Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev.
If all your allegations are assumed to be true, there’s no logical explanation to why top level scientists, UN members, various other knowledgeable people, entrepreneurs like Dr. Mazumdar Shaw are seeking his guidance or even willing to sit with him for any discussion.
So, it would be a sensible thing for your to keep your prejudice and hatred aside and if you can’t support him in his humanitarian work, at least don’t puke out venom. Use your brain a bit!
To remind, now that the whole world wants to praise Swami Vivekananda, in his times, people like you had only condemned him.
May sense dawn upon you! Try attending one of Sadhguru’s inner engineering course. Some sense may creep in.
Regards
I’ve attended his courses, and I agree with Shubhangi. When someone is wrong you accept it, that’s the basic necessity of being an “enlightened” human being. Besides Swami Vivekananda, wasn’t faff. Just saying!
Okay Bhagwa terrorist
Keep reading whatsapp forward s
Nice article. I was sick of this guy speaking on every subjects. It’s clear that there are people who don’t like his blabber.
There are a lot of these people , who like doing what most of us like doing , talk .While ordinary people like us do not get the opportunity , these guys get it and use it to their full leverage to show themselves as the fools they are . All in all it is nice entertainment .
IRRATIONAL ARTICLE…. But not ur fault… Seemingly u don’t have intellect to understand his reasons…. All enlightened( more than normal ) beings are there to tell us THE TRUTH … Which most of us don’t want to know or can’t understand… DO FOCUS MORE ON HIS EXPLANATIONS…
Well, you can rearrange the molecules without changing water’s chemical composition. Water can be vaporized giving it a gaseous form and also made to ice which is solid. Molecules are more closely packed in solids and the chemical formula of ice is “voila” H2O.
To talk about “greed for money that has led to the rise of patriarchy and ended up giving men a higher position in society.” Isn’t it true? Though more and more women are getting leadership positions, we just cannot look the other way and say that women are not overlooked when competing against a man. Unfortunately that is how our society is.
Now for my thoughts, it is a poorly written article much like a post one writes on facebook where they rant about how the other person is incorrect and how we are correct. I do not know how come such articles find their way on the web on a website which has a credible name “Shekhar Gupta” behind it.
His latest is collecting “Donations” in USD for planting tree seeds and teaching his version of Yoga. A sucker is born every minute indeed.
SHUBHANGI MISRA who doesn’t even have the courage show her face in her profile comes out with all sorts of nonsensical arguments against Jaggi Vasudev. This author thinks that Jaggi doesn’t understand CAA but anti-CAA protesters do even if they can’t spell the CAA. Isn’t Jaggi entitled for his views as this author does? Many scientists themselves want to hear Jaggi. It looks this author is suffering from ignorance caused by superiority complex.
All that I know of Mr Vasudev is limited to what I heard him speak on his videos that I watched on the net. He speaks well, with a south Indian accent and an occasional American twang. He appears to be able to answer questions on mysteries of life, generally, with a logical reasoning. That, perhaps, attracts the educated middle class when compared to other self-employed God-men or women who offer over-the-counter divine solutions for bread and butter issues of daily life. The lower Indian middle class needs a quick fix, so there is a huge market (and ever growing one!!) out there for these self-employed guys. With no licensing requirements, and there being absolutely no need for initial seed capital, you’re ready to launch with minimum investment; a set of clothes with a particular colour!
Mr Vasudev is a successful businessman; how his Isha Foundation products are priced in various markets should prove to be a case study on pricing strategies.
Hello Dharamsen
I agree with your response – which is closer to the truth of what JV is. He is logical, and talks mostly sense, except sometimes things which one tends to disbelieve in or not in agreement with. I feel that he should desist from the exhibitionism that he is engaged in at the moment and his too much brushing with money matters. Rajaneesh has fallen for his 99 Rolls royces and JV would for his multicrore religious projects. Does he need all this? Let him be more simple and unassuming. Truth shines in simplicity.
Dear Print
Even though I am not a supporter of Sadguru.but the u r showing hate is unfathomable.please don’t hate that much anyone.reagarding him,he say his views,opinions and everyone should not agree on it.u can disagree his opinions but by adding somany adjectives/hate vocubalary clearly showing u r biased journalism.regarding Rivers could u please tell or write an article how to save it.atleast could u read his action plan.he even meantioned what he is doing is not sufficient.btw he is making farmers to plant commercial viable for them in that way benefitting both.Regarding feminism please watch other lectures at Western audience.even they also accepted his opinions&I think they are educated,high profile women also there&they are not dumb.
Bro, He is great person you can agree to him or disagree with him, you have no right to tell him shut up. You MF….
Since you are supposed to be all knowing, and that presently there are Anti-CAA protests going on, what clauses of the CAA are these people objecting against? We have seen many videos were people are even struggling to give the full form of CAA and yet they are protesting.
So, kindly give piece of your wisdom
Article on research by German scientists 2018 on water has memory.
From physics : even black hole has memory. Please read advances in this area post hawking.
Any idiot can call himself a scientist these days. Some did on this very page.
That was who Masaru Emoto was, an idiot with a fake PhD degree from a scam university from our own country.
And other idiots decided that “a Japanese scientist discovered that water has memory”.
He didn’t and anyone who believed that was a fool.
Now you guys started with “German scientists” crap. I googled it and it turns out that all these web sites that declare that, are stupid web sites and they don’t say who these “german scientists” are. That’s not how science is announced.
This is the reason why you guys follow godmen. You are just easy to fool. Not because you are spiritual, which you are not.
