It depends on our IQ to understand what he’s talking about! If we have the gumption,we should follow what he teaches!And if only it doesn’t work we should comment. He has millions of followers,because it has worked for them! ArmChair critics need to rework their strategy to criticise him!

Try and read about some of the studies that are going on mediation both in advanced universities in the USA as well as other premier institutions like NIMHANS in India! If we want to explore and understand a phenomenon,we need to be open minded! A closed approach saying everything that’s not said in a Sunday prayer meet must be wrong is not a great approach! After all some people believed that the Earth was the center of the Universe at one time!

Umm...nobody is against meditation or Yoga. You can do either of that for free or at your local fitness centre. But this Sadhguru is a scamming, corrupt nutcase who thinks water has memory and even more preposterous nonsense.

No offence. The act of doing consistent Yoga, meditation, etc helped you. You could have done that on your own but you didnt. You needed a program to get started (there are less convoluted cheaper and even free options for that). All of that doesnt change the fact that Jaggi is messed up and corrupt. Why? There are numerous credible articles about that. And the pseudoscience he spouts is just way too ridiculous and insulting.

Now the question is whether your gratitude towards a program you paid for, will let you see through Jaggi objectively...

His yoga (specifically)has been researched by many institutions to be beneficial in brain growth. Also before calling him corrupt, how about you go and see the work he is doing for farmers and villagers of tamil nadu? How about you go and check his massive project to save cauvery basin? How about you go and check his isha vidhya initiative providing high quality education and mid day meals to rural children for absolutely free?

Coming to the pseudoscience, if you want we could debate about it.

Ahh, I dont want to debate with you knowing that you have bought what they were selling literally and financially. For a breezy breakdown and debunking, check out videos on Jaggi by ScienceisDope. For corruption allegations, etc look up the many news articles. Going on a tangent: Did you know that Lalu Yadav former CM, MP of Bihar brought forth many benefits for his people. Some even consider him as their saviour, especially of the poor. As he brought many populist policies helping the backward castes and downtrodden communities. Yet currently he is jailed and is guilty of scams he was involved in for decades. Make of this analogy what you will.

Regarding research promoting his programs. Do you know that it is very easy for conglomerates to fund research that will elevate their standing. In his case, his many admirers and followers could help with the same. Yoga and physical exercise are always good for you. If you have a paper which mentions these programs to be superior against all and very other form of exercise. Thats ground breaking. This isnt. The papers I came across simply mention positive effects. The same could be achieved if you do the same at home.

Oh and in the conclusion of your studies(Harvard one), they are praising the benefits of Meditation in general. There is nothing revolutionary about what Jaggi is giving.
