Naga Sadhus, Siddhis, Kumbh Mela & Mukti | India Today Interviews Sadhguru at Prayagraj

During an interview by India Today's Akshita Nandagopal at the Maha Kumbh Mela at Prayagraj, Sadhguru delves into various aspects of what makes the Kumbh so significant.

Sadhguru narrates a story of poet-saint Kabir and King Ibraheem of Bukhara in present-day Iran and Iraq. He explains how Kabir made the king recognize that, despite his deep longing to have a taste of the beyond, his mental clutter had become a hindrance in his spiritual growth. Sadhguru reminds us that just as Kabir transformed the king’s perspective and, in turn, his life, one can transform one’s filth into manure for one’s inner growth.

Through the ancient story of Samudra Manthan — the churning of the ocean of milk — Sadhguru explains the significance of the upcoming Maha Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj. He also offers a simple yet powerful sadhana to prepare for this profound possibility.

In an event hosted by Global Food Regulators Summit in July 2023, Sadhguru offered a profound and unique insight into the types of foods that are most supportive for the human system, and explained why what we eat as well as how we eat matters. He delved into the biggest challenges facing our food systems: unbridled commercialization and rapid degradation of soil across the world. He also explained why food regulators must step up to address these critical issues.
