Can Sadhguru Prove the Power of Yoga After Two Brain Surgeries?

Bengaluru/Coimbatore, Aug 30 (NationPress) After undergoing two emergency brain surgeries within a span of a year and a half, spiritual leader Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev successfully completed the Kailash Yatra on a motorcycle, receiving a grand reception at the Isha Yoga Centre in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, as per an official announcement made on Saturday.

At a press conference held at Coimbatore Airport, Sadhguru stated, "Despite medical advice against riding a motorcycle, I ascended to 18,000 feet above sea level. This is a testament to the power of yoga."

He remarked, "I undertook this journey to Kailash on a motorcycle to illustrate yoga's transformative capabilities. I accomplished what the doctors claimed was unattainable," he affirmed.

Reflecting on the obstacles faced during the journey, particularly given his age and health challenges, Sadhguru explained, "Yoga signifies unity with the very essence of creation, which resides within each of us. Thus, when aligned with this source, challenges become surmountable. I achieved this effortlessly at this stage of my life."

When questioned about the implications of US tariffs on India, he responded, "Challenges are opportunities to rise stronger and sharper, which I believe India is poised to do. Upholding India's sovereignty and its autonomy in business is non-negotiable for us as a free nation."

Outlining the nation's future, Sadhguru stated, "One cannot expect circumstances to be always favorable for growth. We must cultivate resilience to thrive, even amid adversity. This journey serves as an exemplary lesson for us all, emphasizing the necessity for India to prosper regardless of conditions."

Sadhguru embarked on his motorcycle journey from Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh, on August 9, traveling through Kathmandu, Bhaktapur, and Thulikhel in Nepal, until reaching the Nepal-Tibet border.

He then traversed through Zhangmu, Nyalam, and Saga in Tibet, ultimately arriving at Manasarovar Lake, from where he trekked to witness the revered Mount Kailash.

The route presented numerous challenges, including landslides, persistent rain, rugged terrain, and altitudes varying from nearly 15,000 to 20,000 feet above sea level.

During the yatra, many locals gathered to greet Sadhguru, honoring him not just as a traveler but as a revered guru on a sacred pilgrimage.

He also engaged online with notable figures like actor Madhavan, cricketer Varun Chakravarthy, and director Nag Ashwin, discussing yogic science and the profound mysteries of Shiva.

"In Indian culture, the Kailash Yatra is esteemed as one of the most sacred journeys, with those who complete it receiving deep reverence," he noted.

Reflecting this cultural significance, thousands gathered at Coimbatore Airport to welcome Sadhguru. Locals and villagers filled the roads, while volunteers lined the route from the entrance of the Isha Yoga Centre to the ashram, transforming it into a magnificent procession of devotion and honor," the statement highlighted.
