How Jaggi Vasudev became Sadhguru

Who is this man? Where did he come from? How did he manage to gain such prominence? How has he created a “spiritual empire” swimming in money?

A wise man once said "There can be no God-man. There is God, there is man & there are goddamn men."

Don't believe anyone without questioning. Neither Sadhguru, nor Newslaundry.

I don't know about sadhguru. But watching this felt like sadhguru made more sense

[rajapal]

Damn....!! You are smartly editing segments of the nalsar talk.... I watched the full video and I can clearly see that either you are motivated with ulterior intent, or you are clean ignorant of the complete talk. Time you grow up and research before you start speaking. Good luck and thank you for your views, on the expensive packages. Have you ever taken one of them yourself, and can you do a valid cost benefit analysis of the same? I think that's very valid point that you didn't bring up...

06:56: did not listen to the whole thing and concluded that he was going to put a case against the girl. What a wow!

[yakshikmudgalyakshikrussky]

He wasn't threatening the students.
Media makes "Godmen" there is no such a phenomenon in India.

Try inner engineering, it will be very helpful 😊

[rakeshbam]

He never said he is godman, and he also never said that there is god .

[Abhishek-kgje]

Why don’t you invite him to your show or go and ask these questions in a live debate

[deepakpothuraju]

6:35 People who watched whole video know that you're showing just a bit and misleading people like any other news channel out there 😂

[rakeshsp]

BTW I'm not big fan of sadhguru, But I just realised how unbiased newslaundry's journalism is when they played half of the reply to the nalsar student's allegations....

[bretthenry]

Many days ago, String had uploaded a video in which they somehow proved that newslaundry recieves funding for such content. I disposed it as bunkum that day. Today it is very clear.

[inertiaoffun]

6:31 He was explaining that anyone can case against other person without any proof in this country, What was threatning in this ?? He showed reality, anyone in india can file case against other person and those case can last upto decades even if the case is useless.

6:50 You didn't get it. You are misrepresenting his Quote.

Sadhguru didn't threatened her. The word "YOU" he used wasn't particular But a General word which he used for example.

5:39 when you give reference of your own newspaper to prove your own points. 😂😂
