A clip from a 2017 video of Jaggi Vasudev a.k.a Sadhguru, the ‘spiritual baba’ of the WhatsApp-taught wonderkids, has resurfaced on social media as a reminder for Indians: choose your public figures wisely. Varnishing his superstitions under the garb of good vocabulary and Western accent, Jaggi Vasudev has been able to create a mirage — of being any different from other ‘dhongi babas’ on TV.
Be it science, Citizenship Amendment Act, or feminism, Sadhguru has no knowledge of any topic but he absolutely loves to talk about all of them.
In the clip shared on Twitter, Sadhguru is applauding the female body for its ‘intelligence’, presenting his ground-breaking theory on the consistency of breast milk. “If a woman… delivers twins – one male and one female – one breast will ooze certain type of milk, another breast will ooze another kind of milk.” By now it’s sufficiently clear that if it’s Sadhguru’s words, then there are going to be little signs of intelligent life in it.
Earlier this year, he lambasted people protesting against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) – after having declared at the start of his lecture that he hadn’t read the Act. But even if he hadn’t acknowledged that, his half-baked arguments were enough to make it evident.

Misogynist baba
To put it lightly, Sadhguru isn’t big on feminism. Much like typical men’s rights activists, Sadhguru’s take on feminism is, “Women should have rights, I don’t like that. Everyone should’ve rights.” He explained to young women students of Mount Carmel College in Bengaluru: “Most of the feminists, they didn’t live well, it’s because they talked and talked and talked.” He went on to add that “it isn’t the lack of men that made their lives empty, it’s their choice of living in constant ‘reactionary’ mode.” Whatever that means.
At the same event, he told three young girls that it is actually the greed for money that has led to the rise of patriarchy and ended up giving men a higher position in society. Because, of course, it’s the men who earn money so they’ll obviously have an upper hand.

Taking science for a ride
It isn’t only through his comments on ‘intelligence of body’ that Sadhguru has made a complete fool of… science. He often confuses poetry with science and claims that water has memory. Speaking at a conference at IIT Madras (of all places), Sadhguru claimed that without changing the chemical composition of water, one can rearrange its molecules. “So much so that if I take a glass of water in my hands, and look at it in a certain way for a while, well-being will come to you,” Sadhguru observed while adding that the scientific community is in agreement with him, and that it’s not a superstition anymore.
Even Isha Foundation’s ‘Rally For River’ project has invited a lot of flak from the scientific community. The project, close to Sadhguru’s heart because of the relationship he shares with the rivers, aims to solve all the problems that the rivers’ face by planting trees along their stretches. Don’t get me wrong, his heart seems to be in the right place with this one. But his project doesn’t consider things like damming up, removing pollutants and diversion.
The issues associated with Rally For River project forced environmental experts to write a letter to actor Leonardo Di Caprio, urging him to withdraw his support to Isha Foundation. One of the major concerns raised in the letter was the Isha Foundation’s myopic view of the problem that seeks to oversimplify a complicated issue.
Instead of writing the letter, perhaps all that Environment Support Group needed to do was send a link of Jaggi Vasudev’s YouTube page to Di Caprio. That would have done the job.
Water can help your brain work it can act like oil in a machinery without oil machine can wear and tear but that dosent mean oil itself is machine like water has memory
Unfortunately I am a victim of his Videos and yes this thing has made people completely clueless he make people loose hi common sense turn them into mere morons and more appropriate a robot
Which I am going through and trying to recover
He is nothing If I am not wrong we all are fascinated by the love of Shiva we all have in our heart by the way he has presented songs and given a modern touch to bhakti songs with new age singer and modern instruments
He has given a well presentation and that where we lost our self to him ( Not him but Lord Shiva ) and started following him
Those following him good but follow with your brains but don’t even dare to play with your chit ( you will become a fool )
You can do yoga and all but don’t dare disturb your chit what has been given by God is best at its ownself and human can only destroy or reshape what God has given
Spread the word #daredisturbchit
Wether he is good or bad, but JAJA has gone insanely mad. He has so much time to reply to everyone.
Also your body is made of 70% water, which is also major component of brain which has functionality of storing data as well that’s called memory so why cant water has this ? Well he might be using some tricks as well but you are kind of person who may not even consider the importance of belly button.
Yeah, the person who is talking common sense and science is insane.
And the person whose ability to think goes like this is not insane.
a.) body is 70% water
b.) brain has water
Therefore, we must conclude that water has memory. Great. Great
So how about?
a.) Sand is silicon
b.) Silicon is used to make computer memory
Therefore, sand has memory. Great, great. You are really enlightened man. Here is some candy. Anku is so smart.
You should only be thinking about your belly and belly button. Nothing more complicated.
Science and logical thinking is just too complicated for you.
Water memory pseudoscience was very well studied and completely debunked. But for you youtube baba and his whatsapp bhakts like you, all nonsense is wisdom.
In the land of the insane and ignorant, the sane are considered insane. You people will take the most insane person and call him the wisest.
Hi, I really liked your spirit behind this article.
However, I am a researcher and it seems that you haven’t researched well about what you have been preaching.
I will just talk science as I don’t know Sadhguru but he seems on point with his science argument.
The “water has memory” and “the breast milk” argument has been proven by the scientific community. You can take a look at scientific journals that you can find on Google Scholar.
Can we please expect a journalist to speak objectively rather than putting subjective feelings? 🙂
I was almost disappointed by this world for not understanding him and you made the comment to the point
The only disappointment is how uneducated you bhakts are.
You guys look for the slightest justification to believe that your halfwit baba is always right, without any thinking whatsoever.
When someone says, I am a researcher and you just believe it. Any graduate student can call themselves a researcher. Doesn’t mean anything. Her education is a joke if she thinks water has memory. That was disproved almost 30 years ago.
Your blog is just shaking my head. You’re one of the lowest humans I’ve ever come across. Happy to tell you that many females don’t agree with your feminism and there are concrete reasons for that…which you’d prolly never understand by the attitude you carry everywhere. Sorry??
Oh, you haven’t come across people who say their wife mysteriously did mahasamadhi?
Or hypocrits who take over tribal land and paint themselves as nature protectors?
Or hypocrits who sell magic junk and say they are actually quite rational?
I have come across much, much lower humans. Don’t get triggered by mild feminism. You need to learn meditation, maybe from a different place.
Oh you are are a researcher? You mean in Whatsapp University?
You mean you discovered Google and you think you have become a researcher?
Water memory has been disproved as complete nonsense by the scientific community. It is so well debunked that when you ask researchers today to give a few example of a pseudoscience, they list water memory.
Villavicencio, Marcos. “Four Examples of Pseudoscience.” (2020).
If you still think that water has memory today, you cannot even be called a student of science, just a WhatsApp graduate.
The papers in Google Scholar are by homoeopaths, which are pseudoscience. They are all fake journals. To do research, you should also have the capacity to know what is a real journal and what is a fake journal. Every journal in Google Scholar is not a real scientific journal. You must also have the capacity to understand what is a science and what is a pseudoscience.
Show me the paper which says right breast and left breast have different milk in case of twin birth. Not the paper you read about on Whatsapp that talks about slight difference on average between pregnancies with single male or female child in a very small study. How would the mother know which breast to feed the baby with? That statement does not make even common sense, let alone science. Dhongi Jaggi didn’t even use common sense. He read some nonsense on whatsapp and wanted to brag he knows things too. Same with you.
This is the problem with students today, very low quality, but everyone thinks they know, and these dhongi babas are laughing all the way to the bank.
Baffled at the ignorance of this journalist. Haven’t done any research before criticizing the scientific claims. Writing few fancy English words does not turn your stupid opinion into facts. Did not expect this from the print.
Do you think dhongi baba will popular at all without his fancy English?
And you think he is S-C-I-E-N-T-I-F-I-C? How? He does not know science any more than doing drama with WhatsApp forwards.
Right breast and Left breast theory for twins is S-C-I-E-N-T-I-F-I-C?
Mercury is safe is S-C-I-E-N-T-I-F-I-C?
Water memory is S-C-I-E-N-T-I-F-I-C?
Depression is just negative thoughts is S-C-I-E-N-T-I-F-I-C?
Rudraksha detecting bad water is S-C-I-E-N-T-I-F-I-C?
Lunar Eclipse accelerating food degradation is S-C-I-E-N-T-I-F-I-C?
His rocks having special energies is S-C-I-E-N-T-I-F-I-C?
His wife’s “mahasadhi” is S-C-I-E-N-T-I-F-I-C?
Earth entering special phase during eclipse is S-C-I-E-N-T-I-F-I-C?
His stupid cobra psychology is S-C-I-E-N-T-I-F-I-C?
Just because this dhongi said it in his fake English accent does not turn his stupid opinion into S-C-I-E-N-T-I-F-I-C facts!!!!! What science did he study? Physics? Biology? Chemistry? NOTHING!!
I did expect this from his crazy mindless drones. Next you will be arguing how science needs to learn from him and how all foreign scientists and governments are actually learning science from him because he shows up everywhere.
Be quiet dude. You are unnecessarily wasting lots of energy and embarassing yourself. Don’t enforce your opinions on others.
Tell that to brainless jaggi followers who came screaming here because they think nobody has a right to say their godman is ever wrong.
I have lots of energy. Don’t worry about me.
Also don’t forget to tell jaggi not to embarrass himself anymore.
Any time he opens his mouth about anything smart, only bullshit comes out.
Too bad that his followers can’t tell the difference.
Best strategy for him is to be silent.
He shouldn’t enforce his superstitions on others with no brain. Dead bodies wake up because of magic? haha. Can anyone be so stupid?
And you guys want us to believe you are “scientists”? hahaha. Cooked food should not be kept during eclipse? My grand mother used to believe that. But she didn’t finish schooling. And you guys think you are scientists and still think like her? haha. Are you guys and girls printing your own degrees?
Who writes this shit by the way i dont follow sadgurus all opinions but this article is slander and enethical something that a teenage dilengant would write.. in fact i have research this group and all they post is pure garbage even a child has more heart and knowledge these guys should be sacked
Good journalism costs money?
As much as this is true, do try to do it sometimes! It’ll do a world of good for your Print!!
This article is certainly a pure hatered spreading bullshit and nothing more. And you definitely has gotten that typical westernised FEMINIST working for you is just shameful.
Well, this is all I needed to know about ‘theprint’s great work!!
Ravi, Ravi, Ravi, your entire dhongi baba’s spirituality is bullshit only – Magic rocks, magic spells, magic amulets, magic yantras, magic buildings and magic pendulums. Cunning Youtube marketing. Lots of it. Ads, ads and more ads. Your dhongi is just a Youtube baba with lots political connections.
And a lot of stupid talks that sound philosophical to only stupid people.
This is what journalism looks like. It tells you uncomfortable facts. You don’t want it. What you want is boot licking propaganda, not news.
The person behind this article clearly doesnt have the sense, patience, intelligence or life to understand what sadhguru ji has said. This is exactly what he meant by reactionary mode, even if they dont understand they will react. Trying to make villains out of everyone and playing the victim card isnt going to work anymore. Learn to respect people and take time and effort to understand thier views or else ignore. He is a respectable being, dont try to mess with him.
That is exactly what you Jaggi bums are doing. You are in full reaction mode, without actually considering what the author is saying and understanding his views and making him a villain. These are the same comments in any forum where this dhongi baba is criticized, and then you all play the victim card like this. This isn’t going to work any more. Learn to respect journalists and articles like this. They are just talking sense and science.
Jaggi can post videos about “shutting people up”, but people can’t criticize his top-tier ignorance? There is a lot written about how this dhongi is just as ignorant as all other dhongis.
A person who burned his wife’s body before her father got there and called it mahasamadhi don’t need to be respected. People who occupy land don’t need to be respected. People who constantly talk like a fool don’t need to be respected.
LOL!!!!! This author Mishra is the perfect example of the SHHH feminist whom sadhguru was referring to. No wonder she got triggered…. Look at the arguments…so low level, cheap logics….. Author was referring to sadhguru’s usage of english language….Authoe of this article needs to know that, His words are more wiser that u will never understand in this life because of the education u went through….Author is definitely admirer of shashi tharoor, they just know the Language known as English…but the brain is empty as rotten nutshell when it comes to the in-depth topics of life, Human body…..people can also see the arguements made by fans of this page LOL….THese guys will love zakir naiks wisdom definitely. their level of intellectual u can understand….. Three main dangers to this planet Communism, Feminism and the other one, i dont need to say……
But this dhongi is our Zakir Naik. What difference is there? Both say all their superstitions are true. There is no difference between you and Zakir Naik followers.
Just because someone can talk smoothly to foolish people does not mean they have a clue about what they talk about.
Both are misogynists and so are you.
Cheap logic is all you find with them and their brainless followers like you (see above: brain has water, brain has memory, so water has memory, is the perfect example of the cheap logic of dhongi baba followers).
I am here to answer you triggered followers who can’t stand the fact that a lady who can smell BS pointed out that your supposedly enlightened dhongi does not have a clue.
Your wise guy thinks if you say some spells, dead can be brought back to life. That is how wise he is and that is the wisdom you brainless followers have. All you have are rotten superstitions, literally about dead bodies.
What in-depth knowledge do any of you have? You and your dhongi do not even have superficial knowledge.
Zakir Naik says he passed MBBS, but he thinks evolution is just a theory and not true.
Your dhongi thinks eclipse accelerates food decomposition and you all come up and say yes, I have seen it happen. He has no concept of what an eclipse is and makes up his own astronomy “facts”. You have no brain to check facts or what evidence means.
These guys are crap and you are just flies attracted to them. No educator can fix ignorance at this level. Your education after 18 years, assuming you have a degree, is completely useless. You might as well tend to livestock. Wisdom? Don’t make me laugh. You guys are just overgrown kindergarden kids. No better reasoning skills.
Follow the gyan. Not the gyani.
A self-proclaimed gyani who uses magic tricks, wants luxuries not even affordable to richest 0.0001% of people, promotes superstitions and says stupid things all the time is either no longer a gyani or never was one.
There is something mentally wrong with all the fanatics of this dhongi baba. They all talk almost exactly the same, as if their personality was destroyed and they are trained to repeat the same phrases over and over.
I don’t know if this is real damage to their brains or if these are just the dhongi baba’s chamchas working off a training script. But this is what they all do.
@ they all say, believe or don’t believe him, but I am yet to meet one who then told me something they didn’t believe about what the dhongi said.
@ they have a problem when anyone says he should shut up, but all the videos they post are titled about their dhongi shutting people up. They are obsessed with the word “shut up”, but they miss the irony when the article does the same to him. Someone should also write an article that is titled as giving a “tight slap” to Jaggi Vasudev, just to drive these idiots crazy. That’s another of their favorite bum talk.
@ if they specifically say, I am not a supporter of Sadguru, you can be sure that they are in fact a rabid fanatic of this idiot.
@ a whole gang descends whenever anyone writes about the stupid things he says. There have been many articles describing how the things he says are stupid. There is nothing special about this. Press has to criticize when a public figure talks stupid. That is an essential duty of the press. But this gang starts calling press leftists, communists, haters and so on.
@ many of them love to start off by saying “you have wasted my time” to disparage both articles and anyone who points out the errors in their comments.
@ when that might not work, they say “don’t waste your time commenting”. One bum, Raj, already did this to me.
@ whatever their stupid godman says is “his right under freedom of expression”. Of course it is. But so it is the right of everyone else to write about how stupid he is. These idiots cannot understand that. Telling someone to shut up for being stupid, that isn’t a violation of their rights, its also a freedom of expression, as are your stupid comments here.
A magician called Rajesh Kumar discussed this common Ideomotor effect, a common trick used by spiritual frauds.
“Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev Rudraksha experiment reality exposed”
He had to disable comments after Jaggi Vasudev’s brainless herd started abusing him. The same thing happens whenever anyone lists his idiot wisdom.
On top of that his bum followers come and argue that people with an actual brain have to shut up. No you bums, if you never heard of ideomotor effect, just shut up and let those of us who know do the talking. Seeking “truth” is not for you.
I know there are lot of people who are jobless, brainless but seems there is another category- people who have jobs , have money, have lot of free time on their hands but absolute no idea what to do with it. Then they find a guru and start bashing him/her. If you are so much interested in finding the truth then invest a month or so of your useless life to do something useful.
Do not worry why so many people are following a particular guru. If you cannot understand their sense , be assured they are not waiting for your wisdom.
So lift your bum from the plush sofa and do something useful in life!
There actually need to be a lot more in the category that bash the rogues that murder their wives and convince the brainless that it is mahasamadhi, or that their kept woman is actually their adopted daughter.
But what we instead have is a lot of people with jobs, but half-brains who think some hallucinating fool who says he sees into the past and to the future is some wise great guru. A fraud who lies he can through see people’s clothes is thought to be an enlightened man.
The half-brains have the whole world’s truth to explore but end up surrendering their thought to a bum who tells them eclipse makes food go bad and argue that’s wisdom.
Rather than do something useful with their lives, the half-wits rather keep their bums in chair and keep watching a youtube idiot who claims he can cast magic spells and enchant rocks or a fool who says he delayed sunrise for his convenience.
When any author exposes that the so called wise-man is actually a clueless fool, the half-brains all queue up to denounce the author than consider the facts presented.
I just would like to add my own 2 cents: Jaggi travels on Singapore Airline Suite which is above 1st class at US$17,000 round trip to USA. How much is that in Indian rupees? How many poor people in India who were hit by Covid 19 can be fed with these money?. As a renunciate, is it logical for him to use the hard earned money of his followers to travel this lavish? Can anyone justify this bullshit?. When you put yourself in the world stage and call yourself as a Satguru…everything that you say and do becomes an example for others to follow…because they…the followers think that everything that you say and do is for their good…even if it is total bull crap…that’s how blind faith works. Open your eyes and smell the crap, people.
To put that in context for people who don’t fly, I know even US based doctors who make great money, but fly economy class at one-tenth of that round trip cost.
Rule 1 of these hypocrite godmen parasites: Royal Luxury for me, poverty vows for you.
Jaggi Vasudev shows off designer clothes, fancy and expensive motorbikes, helicopters and lavish wedding for his daughter. According to his idiot followers, he is just doing this to promote Indian fashion (I think he himself said this at one point) and his personal expenditure is just from his money from his chicken farming days.
Ram Rahim’s hyper luxury lifestyle is known to everyone now.
Nityananda can buy a private island.
The worst part is having to listen to his idiot followers inventing silly excuses for all this.
How dhongi is dhongi Jaggi Vasudev?
He uses a psychology manipulation trick called Ideomotor Effect to makes fools of his idiot followers. He tells them that rudrakshas in his shop have special powers that will spin differently when held over different food.
This trick was exposed a long time ago after a lot of dhongi babas used it.
But since the followers of all these godmen are such fools that they will argue endlessly even when everything is explained to them.
Every single person in Isha is an idiot.
WhatsApp University.
They have no common sense and completely closed minded because they want to fantasize they are spiritual. When people explain the scam, they just repeat a few stupid attacks over and over again like people with most of the brain disabled.
Dhongi Nityananda fools people with third-eye blind-fold reading trick when the kids are obviously just peeking below the blind-fold.
Dhongi Jaggi Vasudev makes the followers fool themselves with a bead pendulum. No one else needs to put up a performance. At least dhongi Nityananda puts an effort. Dhongi Jaggi followers are much more stupid, just give them a hint and they can fool themselves all by themselves. Just tell them they are Undercover Yogis. Pathetic.
I completely agree…. For those who don’t understand word’s of wisdom from Sadhguru… Nothing can help them in the world.
Are you guys paid to publish such fake news of Sadhguru. Wonder how this works.
I completely agree… that you guys are unpaid Isha idiots though.
But why blame this beard man specially? You guys have go after one fake guru or the other.
When Shirdi Baba pulled necklaces taped from under awards, your brain does not work.
When Jaggi Vasudev says he can make water sweet by meditation, your brain does not work.
When Nityananda says he delayed sunrise with meditation, your brain does not work.
What to do? Brainless idiots have a need to feel spiritual and wise like everyone else. Nothing in the world can help you when you have no brain and cannot have common sense. If it is not this fake baba, you will find another fake baba.
Yes, looking at the similarity of all the comments, I think it is safe to assume that somebody is paid to write it,
I’m surprised. A lot of of people here talk like as if they have better wisdom than Sadhguru himself-particularly the author. Those who don’t understand or don’t seem to grasp some sense about Sadhguru’s teachings are probably idiots
Oh really?
So you are so sure you are a non-idiot who can explain his “wisdom” for us. Please go ahead and enlighten us, don’t go silent now.
A woman has a twin pregnancy. Non-identical twins. One is male, one is female.
According to this joker, each twin gets a specific breast. Is it the right or left?
How does the mother know which one?
Where did he get this information from? Remember, he was talking about 2 twins with 2 genders specifically.
So what happens in case of triplets? Does one breast alternate? What if they are 2 male and 1 female? How does that work out? Hmmm?
To any one with common sense, this looks like a common idiot uncle.
Leaving Sadhguru out of the conversation.
In terms of my experience, being female and having breastfed and done my own research.. Depending on the gender and whether or not the child is well the breast milk will change in composition. There is something called feedback when a child feeds from the breast. The body then reacts to that and adjusts the milk accordingly. My daughter preferred one breast over the other. One breast does’nt make milk the same as the other and thats from my own experience.
Think what you will.
Oh please stop acting. You are just lying. I doubt that you are a mother and had twins.
Even if you had, one birth does not make “research”. You have no clue what a study is and what research is. You can’t just say the body adjusts. That needs to be supported by actual tests on milk composition across several mothers. First you need to prove that milk across breasts is different across breasts in twin births. Then you need to prove that each gender child somehow always finds out which breast is producing which milk. And this needs to be done without mothers knowing the research results in between or they will start leading one child to one breast.
If some one says that they have done their own research, it means they are an idiot and don’t know what research is.
“That’s my experience” means you don’t understand science. You will have one “experience”. Somebody else will have opposite “experience”.
very similar intelligence was shown when someone told the earth is not flat but round. If you do not know something at least u can keep your mouth shut.
LOL. Jaggi Vasudev followers are like idiot flat earth believers. When science tells you that water memory is pseudoscience, the least you can do is keep your mouth shut, if you can’t understand the experiments. It does not become true because your idiot dhongi baba said it.
Want to talk about your dhongi baba’s rudraksha scam?
There’s only one account named jaja like the article spreading mis information
Another thing I notice is Jaggi Vasudev’s team uses a lot of mocking emoticons ? ?.
This is cover up the fact that the actual posts have no real argument against the substance of the article.

@ When having twins with different genders, one breast caters to one gender and the other to the other gender.
@ Mercury in herbal medicine is not poisonous, its just heavy that’s all.
@ A rudraksh moves clockwise when food or water is safe and anti-clockwise when they aren’t.
@ says he knows better than scientists about vaccine side effects because he had a chat with a few foolish anti-vaxx parents one day.
@ if you bow to food, it becomes more nutritious.
@ Mahashivratri is not a religious festival. It has something to do with the astronomical phase of the planet.
All this sounds smart to only JackAss Whatsapp University graduates.
I don’t know about sadhguru or what his works are. I’m wondering what keeps you so excited and motivated to mock him?
“I don’t know about sadhguru or what his works are” ….
“I don’t follow sadhguru but” …….
are usual lines by jaggi followers, possibly directly from Isha. They are so standard lines that you wonder if Isha is actually training them to respond like this. Its like fixed call center responses. So cheap.
They never address the points being raised but try to shift the topic to the questioner instead.
He is being mocked because he is an ignorant superstitious fool who is pretending to be enlightened for money.
To understand Jaggi Vasudev, you need to understand Jim Jones and The People’s Temple.
To understand the whatsapp idiots posting below, you need to cult psychology.
They think they are spiritual seekers. But in reality, they are vacant minds who imagine some godman they saw on Youtube to be their “guru”.
So Ms. Mishra is very sure that whoever follows Sadhguru is whatsapp raised and fools. Well. That was very rude. Most of his followers are very well educated. Maybe better than you. And they are all doing wonderful jobs. Think before making these judgements.
You can be doing wonderful jobs and still be a whatsapp idiot. I know quite a few.
Very narrow knowledge. Good skills in some specific job. No common sense beyond that.
Lol I agree he’s actually just another wannabe who spews bullshit on things he knows nothing about. People who are mad clearly follow the same narrow-mindedness with baseless facts that can’t be proven ?
A 10 th grader can write better stuff than this. Shitty piece of article spewing hatred.
Very good article, shining light on issues Sadhguru rightfully has to be criticized for!
Like people who were criticised for saying earth is round.
BTW, some says the moon is affecting the oceans on earth and creating tides. have you written something about them too?
If you understand why flat earth believers today are called stupid, you will also understand why Jaggi Vasudev believers are stupid.
You can show flat earth believers any evidence, they will deny it, just like Jaggi Vasudev believers deny mercury toxicity, ideomotor effect and water pseudoscience debunking.
Jealousness and intolerance at its best.
I started to read this article because I was so curious to see another point of view, different than his. But after reading a while… This is definitely crap. No point of view and no scientific background. A lot of nonsense and I just feel sorry for losing 7 min of my life
“I wasted my life reading this”, is a very common cookie-cutter response from Jaggi Vasudev’s team to respond to any of the critical articles or videos.
“Emma” has to be one of the profiles of his onsite team with very clear packaged responses.
Most of the criticisms crying about the article have no substance – just the usual, you must be paid media, attracting clicks etc. No answers to the obvious trash Jaggi Vasudev talks.
Common this JAJA has written more words than writer himself …. Are you the author of article
Jaja is the original author
If I was, I would not have gone so easy on him. A few hours search can provide a dozen times more of his stupid quotes, with video proof of him saying stupid nonsense.
Mishra, a real bad job!! Really!! Not your fault!! Print used you to drive traffic. They are good at identifying scapegoats. My advise …. Stop writing so people may suspect that you are intellectually challenged rather than write a lot and leave no doubts. I will encourage you to explore other avenues.
Ah! what a cheap idea to bring traffic to your news portal. How poor an effort could be.
Blessings!!!
What nonsense is this article? I don’t even feel like writing something in defense or as clarification for each point you have given here. Because each point you have given is silly and seems like it was written by some hater who never listened to him, never knows anything about him, and so desperate to discredit Sadhguru that just wrote some negative things, and pulled some random lines from his speeches to support your negative points. It doesn’t even make sense.
I also think that you have to go through 100s or 1000s of Sadhguru’s speeches to find fault, yes, you can find some real fault in what he said, and you could have come up with a better criticism article. But you didn’t even do that homework, it looks like you just took some 15 minutes put down some negative points and some words from his speeches, and filled all the paragraphs with some nonsense. And you expect people to buy this nonsense?
I believe that those who do not wish to listen to him can very easily ignore him. I do like to listening to his ideas to get a new perspective on things. Can’t we just agree to disagree on some topics? It is a free country, nobody is forcing anyone to do anything.
Jaggi is little fraud and certainly dangerous …when he claims he has seen the god. This for me enough to say good bye. This is no brain deal breaker…I found his tone also un acceptable for guroo, his tone harsh and little belligerant.
Try to turn inward, start practising some authentic yogic kriya (for sure not any one which is taught by him), if you can progress and improve your perception just by 1 percent than what you are today, you too will start seeing, feeling and experiencing God. In fact no way you would be able to ignore God.
But dear in order to reach to that state you need some sort of strive.
Its not that only Sadhguru has seen it.
There were/are thousands of famous, infamous, known, unknown spiritual seekers and common people from all over the world has done so.
But before anything else, you need to brush up your idea of God a little. Thousands of book has been written on it and most with a significant amount of research. Hope it helps. You are not doing any good or bad to him by your nonsense. But if you strive to know the inner dimensions of your life it will do amazing things to you. Just send Sadhguru to hell and do it for you.
All the best.
Thanks for this article, dear author. I can see that the isha foundation has unleashed its trolls on you. But, the tragedy is that many who are not its members would also do the same. Such is the hold of pseudo science on us. Faith is used to exploit us into supporting one guru’s lifestyle while we shirk away from adopting a poor family living next door for even a month. There is hope yet for India if news media allows criticism of charlatans.
Dear nisha,are you so sure you are right ?
Right being a concept…
Those who follows him, quite a very few might believe him. But the rest don’t believe him at all. They could experience something but no way it is any kind of belief business. Spiritual process is not a belief system. It is completely experiential.
Either strive for the experience or simply ignore him. Rather send him to hell. But please stop saying anything from your own nonsense.
!!! Blessings !!!
Oh god these people…..THey just know the english language…Brain is like empty nutshell….they just talk….meaningless talk….
I m reading responses to this article… N i can see people r not blind to believe any kind of shit of publish… Hope u exist??????
Jaggi is the biggest conman… Just look at the comments… People here telling that there is freedom of speech for jaggi and yet abusing the author… Matlab kuch bhi. .. Freedom of speech matlab yeh nahi ki tu unscientific things bolo… This looser has a criminal record… I hate people supporting this asshole… Guys go and study read lots of books by authotmrs who are specialist in IT. Will you go a gynacologist to get your heart treated. That’s basic knowledge. Going to this asshole to get advice makes me feel sorry for you. If you feel depressed go and see a professional psychiatrist. Jaggi is a conman. I rest my case
Conman,and why are you so interested by him ?
He owns you something or you are here to”save the planet”?
Zakir naik ko sunn le jaa ke tu…u seem to be a follower of his kind if knowledge
Whatever you have written comes from very constipated piece of brain, if u are unable to understand the sadguru, it doesn’t necessarily means that you need to be bad about him. If u understand his concepts, go follow him, if u dont, no need to follow him, let the public decide whether his knowledge have intellect or not, and weather his stand on feminism is right or wrong! You don’t like him, dont follow him, that’s it! Don’t vomit out your constipated mind about anyone!
This gives sight about selective discrimination of The Print. You can see their article praising Zakir Naik and criticising Indian culture supporters.
SHUBHANGI MISRA, Do you have any clue on what you are writing? I know.. It is rubbish! Thaaank you!
The very title of this article shows your arrogance. I was so annoyed with you shubhangi for wasting my precious 30min reading this shit of yours that I couldn’t stop posting my comment here. But as I scrolled down through the comments all my agitation vanished and now I feel so pathetic for you cos I thought that u must be so wounded by all these comments already and need some time to heal. Listen to more of Sadhguru’s videos gal, the healing process will be easier.
You know whats arrogant?
This fool of a baba lecturing top scientists what to do about vaccines and water memory.
He is not fit to touch their feet.
I know you are a isha idiot. Only they keep saying “for wasting my precious 30min” comments. Your time is worth nothing. You are all idiots.
I hope u have not studied journalism before u started this article. Because that would have been wasted time f ur life as u don’t seem to have learnt much out of it. While it’s ur view once published it comes out as biased view. I have wasted 30 minutes of my time reading ur content.
I hope u do ur research next time around, corroborate with facts than possibilities. Sorry author long road ahead for u before be oming a trusted expert in ur chosen field.
We cannot expect anything more than this from the person who runs media just for money. Now a days, media people are just giving their opinion, not the news / content. journalism become slavery for political parties and just working to provoke people. There wont be any violence if we remove all these medias, including social medias.
please remember the objective of Journalism before you publish any article.
He was right about Feminism and Women constantly talking and talking, look at you, you’re still talking.
Whatever he says, has a scientific backing and you can get enough research about this if you scroll away from lusting over Kunal Kamra’s Shitty Videos.
He says certain things that can be understood by people of Wisdom, not people of the Modern World.
You need to hold your attention and understand things through wisdom and not intellect.
You, my friend don’t hold the courage to shut him up, because you are just an employee working for this shit-ass company for Money! If you want answers, talk to him directly, don’t try to turn people against him.
Shubhangi u need a psychiatrist……i feel pity for your parents and others in your family for having to raise such a human. Hope u rnot married othwerise ur venomous ignorance will destroy few more lives
Woa calm down i used to like sadguru but he really has a bad temper and is condescending with his constant “hello” and the yes or no ? u can visually see when he is angry so controlling his emotions is not in his control…also he never went to school …he was kicked out of many many schools …after ur dead ur body dehydrates which makes ur nails and beard look longer …that is all that happens but he says it actually grows. …Oh my God …so much anger in him and bullshit
Most ridiculous piece of write up I ever read. Get a life woman !!
This article because he spoke against the anti caa
protestors,so you want to point fingers at him
This clarifies who you are and show your true colours.
pseudo journalism…..
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.
Reading this just makes me want to find out more about Sadhguru and gain from his amazing insights into life, society and the human condition. Thanks Shubhangi !
some creatures if they have no talent, no passion, no love, no compassion, no sweet emotions, no attitude in everything, they become violent and aggressive full of angry jealousy, envy, full of low emotions. Maybe creatures never been loved by anybody, besides, who could love such an amount of rubbish? So to avoid their shits, unconsciously they become critics in order to destroy in others human beings what nature has them denied. The first signal of ignorance, frustration and blindness is that they ask certifications and degrees as if to write a poetry you must have a degree, please read more literature. Violent words with the only purpose to hurt and to punish, we wander who punished you? Is it a revenge? Please do not confuse your goal. Please read Yama and nyama by Patanjelij. The attempt to appear clever and to awake consciousness in a way like a soldier is rather pathetic. I suppose you do not like yourself if you full your head with poison and if you spend your precious time criticizing the others. There are so many beautiful things to think about! How to use our brain, our emotions, our energy, our creativity. Have you haver been kissed by somebody? Have you ever kissed somebody? Please turn your frustration’s gun towards you and try to think less because your brain is bitter like a spinster it needs some sugar.
Show us your face and state your full legal name, your credentials, including your highest level of education. Name all the schools you’ve attended and completed for transparency reasons. Please include percentages beside your credits. We need to review your degree if any and personal accomplishments to see if you qualify to be an online journalist with a license to make any scientific claims. List all your credits related to paid employment and volunteer work in chronological order to show us your professional evolution and credibility.
Most people I deal with have professional ressumes that are minimum four pages long and double sided.
I find this article unsubstantiated, biased and poorly written. It gives an impression that the writer of this article has a lot of misdirected frustration and made an unsuccessful attempt to appear intelligent and important. Yet another unqualified platform used to spread hate and discrimination.
I give it a zero out of five stars.
To summarize, it is pathetic and irrelevant at best.
If you wish to be a critic, begin with yourself.
Try to earn your own importance based on your personal merit and not by using a successful name like Sadhguru to get attention. Trashing someone else to make yourself look better has exactly the opposite effect.
Sadhguru has millions of supporters worldwide.
Tell us how many followers you have? We would love to investigate the legitimacy behind every single name and number.
There is no shame in being a nobody if you do it gracefully without publicly displaying your inadequacy. You shouldn’t feel pressured to use your thumbs for writing just because you have them. Leave writing for intelligent, enlightened and evolved people who actually know what they are doing and have the ability to make a difference in this world.
??You r ryt !
So true and so kind..
Do not talk without knowing sadguru properly. People these days r so impatient that they look at everything on the surface and judge. I’m a 17 year old girl. Despite that I’m a follower of sadguru, bcoz I have learnt a lot from him at such a young age itself. It’s a shame that despite being an adult ur so narrow minded compared to youth like me
I used to love the time when Print published we’ll researched, clearly articulated articles with convincing arguments. This reads like an instagram post!
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.
