Mysticism is a way of exploring that which cannot be perceived by the five senses. What is the use of it? There is no use. But without it, you live a poor life. Mysticism is neither about utility nor is it meant to be understood. It is to be Perceived and Experienced. #SadhguruWisdom
Spoke with Crown Prince and PM of Saudi Arabia, HRH Prince Mohammed bin Salman and discussed the ongoing conflict in West Asia.
I reiterated India’s condemnation of attacks on regional energy infrastructure.
We agreed on the need to ensure freedom of navigation and keeping shipping lines open and secure.
Thanked him for his continued support for the welfare of the Indian community in Saudi Arabia.
My best wishes for the ongoing Madhavpur Mela taking place in Porbandar, Gujarat.
This vibrant celebration highlights our glorious culture and at the same time it reinforces the timeless cultural bond between Gujarat and the Northeast.
This festival brings together diverse traditions, reflecting the true spirit of ‘Ek Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat.’ I call upon people to visit this Mela!

Gramostavam is the only movement that has brought physical fitness, enthusiasm and equality all at once to the villages through games. ❤️❤️🔥😇😊
This is a Civilization that paid utmost attention to physical and mental fitness. Though Sport has always been a part of this culture, establishing a culture of sport in Bharat is a responsibility that every individual can embrace joyfully. This is the opportunity that #IshaGramotsavam, the largest rural sporting festival in Bharat, offers to our villages where the majority of our population lives. The #FitIndiaMovement launched six years ago is also an effort towards creating a healthy & vibrant Nation, the most essential ingredient in becoming a great Nation. -Sg #NationalSportsDay #NSD2025 #KhelegaDeshKhilegaDesh

If your being Joyful, Peaceful, and Pleasant within yourself depends on outside situations, your way of being is bound to be accidental. #SadhguruQuotes
Volunteers unloaded 23,000 saplings at the Isha Nursery in Sadhguru Sannidhi Bengaluru, to ready them for distribution to farmers as part of the Hasiru Chikkaballapura project – an initiative under Cauvery Calling.
