Read the poem by Sadhguru, “Divine Hand", which was first published in the print edition of Isha Forest Flower, Apr 2008.

Swami Vasunanda, who has been with Sadhguru for 25 years, recounts his many activities and responsibilities in Isha from a part-time volunteer to ashram cook, brick maker for the Dhyanalinga, educator for tribal children, and above all, a spiritual seeker.

Swami Nandikesha’s journey with Sadhguru is nearly 20 years long and rich with many wild and wonderful moments, from the time he hopped on for an impromptu Himalayan yatra to his fear of snakes which Sadhguru recently shared with the public!

In a heartfelt sharing that is sure to reverberate with any spiritual seeker, Swami Patanga shares his experience of meeting Sadhguru and how that unfolded a remarkable spiritual path full of thunderstorms, flowering, and poetry!

Maa Vanasri takes us through the trajectory of her eventful life: from a child in war-torn Germany to a nature-loving octogenarian. She recollects her first encounter with Sadhguru and his benediction that brought about her initiation into Sanyas.

Initiated into Brahmacharya in 1998, Swami Devabahu shares a few deeply touching and precious moments spent with Sadhguru over the last 20+ years, starting with how after seeing Sadhguru driving a car, he could not believe that this was a Guru.

Swami Suyagna retraces his journey with Sadhguru, from a hardcore skeptic to a full-time volunteer, flute player, Isha Yoga teacher, ashram administrator, and Isha Brahmachari.

Swami Nirakara’s first brush with Isha Yoga was back in 1992, almost thirty years ago! He graciously takes us back in time to experience what it was like to be part of Sadhguru’s work through all these years.

Initiated into Brahmacharya in 1995 and into Sanyasa in 2003, Maa Chandrahasa has been around since the very inception of Isha. Here she shares with us a few candid moments and some deeply transforming incidents that came to shape her spiritual journey.

In this series, each month, one of our Isha Brahmacharis or Sanyasis shares their individual background, observations, and experiences of what it means for them to walk this sacred “Path of the Divine.”

Here, Maa Gambhiri candidly recounts her transformation from a young aspiring pilot to a devoted sanyasi, Sadhguru’s metamorphosis from a yoga teacher to a Guru, how the Dhyanalinga consecration impacted Sadhguru’s body in front of their eyes, and other landmark experiences from the early days until now.

We are excited to launch a new series On the Path of the Divine. Each month, one of our Isha Brahmacharis or Sanyasis shares their very own background, motivation, and experience of what it means for them to walk this sacred path. Here, Swami Nirvichara, who has been with Sadhguru since 1994, offers some precious glimpses of the early days in Isha and his own path, including a whole year wandering the subcontinent as a mendicant.

Exploring the relationship between intense effort and effortlessness, Sadhguru discusses what it takes to transcend the need for physical action.

Sadhguru speaks at the Mahashivratri 2018 celebrations at Isha Yoga Center, and looks at how this night is an opportunity to step forward into our divine nature.
