Luminary: Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev

Sadhguru, a yogi and profound mystic of our time, is a visionary humanitarian and a prominent spiritual leader. A contemporary Guru, rooted as strongly in mundane and pragmatic matters as he is in inner experience and wisdom, Sadhguru works tirelessly towards the physical, mental, and spiritual wellbeing of all. His mastery of the mechanisms of life, an outcome of his profound experience of the Self, guides in exploring the subtler dimensions of life.

Marking a clear departure from mere customs and rituals, Sadhguru's life and work serve as a reminder that the inner sciences are not esoteric philosophies from an outdated past, but a contemporary science vitally relevant today. His scientific methods for self-transformation are both direct and powerful. Belonging to no particular tradition, Sadhguru incorporates and presents what is most valid for contemporary life from the yogic sciences.

Sadhguru speaks at some of the world's most prominent international leadership forums. In January 2007, he participated on four panels at the World Economic Forum and spoke on issues ranging from diplomacy and economic development to education and the environment. In 2006, Sadhguru addressed the World Economic Forum, the Tallberg Forum in Sweden, and the Australian Leadership Retreat. He also has served as a delegate to the United Nations Millennium World Peace Summit and the World Peace Congress.

Sadhguru's vision and understanding of modern social and economic issues have led to interviews with BBC, Bloomberg, CNBC, CNNfn, and Newsweek International. His insights are regularly featured in India's leading national newspapers. A well-known public figure, he regu­larly draws crowds of more than 300,000 people for his public talks and "sathsangs" (group meditation).

Traversing seamlessly from the ancient to the ultramodern, Sadhguru bridges the gap between the known and the unknown, enabling all those who encounter him to explore and experience the deepest dimensions of life.

An introduction to Sadhguru’s profound spiritual teaching, as well as a personal glimpse of this charismatic guru is available in the Amazon Bestseller, Midnights with the Mystic. Written with Isha meditator Cheryl Simone, this “Little Guide to Freedom and Bliss” consists of a series of intimate conversations between them. In Midnights with the Mystic, Sadhguru answers some of life's most profound questions. The reader is challenged to embrace the possibility that to each of us is available a higher realm of reality, a peak of consciousness, an entrée into the realm of freedom and bliss. A dvd companion to the book, Mystic Wisdom, will be released in 2009.
