The Secrets of Diwali | Sadhguru

Yogi, mystic and visionary, Sadhguru is a spiritual master with a difference. An arresting blend of profundity and pragmatism, his life and work serves as a reminder that yoga is a contemporary science, vitally relevant to our times.

In this episode of Sadhguru 360 on Bhadrapada Purnima, Sadhguru delves into the remarkable, often untold story of how modern Bharat was forged into a political unit out of a fractured landscape of 565 princely states. Exploring the sheer grit, astuteness, and absolute commitment of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, Bharat’s first Deputy Prime Minister and Home Minister, Sadhguru highlights the colossal diplomatic and strategic effort that went into the making of the sovereign nation we today know as Bharat.

Sadhguru looks at why there is so much emphasis on the Guru’s Presence in a seeker’s life, and how the karmic structure needs to be skillfully dismantled if one has to retain life and live on as a liberated being.

Sadhguru answers a question from students of Sophia College, Mumbai, about questioning authority, and delves into respect, the nature of truth and authority.
