April 3: Sadhguru at the Thought Leaders Event organized by Asian Media and Marketing Group

April 5, 2017, By Drew McLachlan

Indian yogi and visionary Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev has said he is collaborating with the Indian government on a new river policy, designed to rejuvenate the country’s waterways.

As summer takes hold and temperatures touch 35-39 degrees Celsius in parts of India, Sadhguru noted the impact of lack of water on the farmers’ community, with many suffering years of drought and driven to suicide.

Recalling his childhood in the south Indian state of Karnataka, he said: “From the age of 12 to 17, almost every day I swam in the Cauvery (river).

“Today, when I go to see Cauvery, I feel like crying because it is only 40 per cent of what it was 45 years ago. For three months, Cauvery doesn’t even touch the ocean, it stops 3.5 km from the coast.”
He conceded that action to save India’s rivers could be too little, too late. “WE EITHER NEED TO DO IT CONSCIOUSLY OR NATURE IS GOING TO DO IT TO US IN A VERY CRUEL WAY.”

A select audience of 200, including top business personalities and community leaders, gathered at the May Fair hotel to hear Sadhguru speak as part of AMG’s Thought Leaders event. It marks 50 years since the launch of Garavi Gujarat newsweekly by AMG editor in chief Ramniklal Solanki and his wife Parvatiben.

Read more of this insightful, informal conversation where Sadhguru addressed a range of topics, including living to one’s fullest potential, yoga, dharma and leading mindful lives.

Crematoriums in Coimbatore Get the Attention They Deserve

Swarajya Mag, Purnima S, April 2, 2017

The least the dead and the grieving deserve is a clean and accessible place to perform the last rites. Coimbatore is one city which accords them that dignity and space...

Isha crematoriums are called ‘Kayanta Sthanams’ and are a tie-up with the state government. The eight Isha Foundation crematoriums in Coimbatore are at Nanjundapuram, Veerakeralam, Thudiyalur, Pothanur, Vellalore, Karamadai, Thondamuthur and Alandurai.

The first Kayanta Sthanam was set up in Nanjundapuram. It doesn’t rob the grieving family of its sense of loss. Instead, it gives the feeling that the departed is getting the respect he/she deserved.

Those entering the grounds of the Kayanta Sthanam are struck by the greenery, the abundance of flowering plants, the immaculate landscaping. The fountains and a pond with floating lilies, goldfish swimming in it.
“We are converting crematoriums to LPG-fueled crematoriums. Cutting wood is hard work. Also, dry wood is hard to find in the rainy season. There are transportation problems,” says Swami Abhipada of Isha Foundation.

Yoga has taken off in the U.S. since the 1960s. In a few days, internationally known yogi Sadhguru, who has reached over 100 million people worldwide through his yoga and meditation practices, will teach his “Inner Engineering” program in Tampa April 29-30 at the Tampa Convention Center.

According to the organization’s website, “Sadhguru’s program uses minimal movements and focuses on the breath to promote overall well-being. It’s been known to significantly improve hypertension, asthma, headaches, (and) anxiety.”

Rob Lorei interviewed three people involved in the event. Ganesh Narayanaswamy is an Isha Yoga teacher with the nonprofit Isha Foundation. Dr. Arunachalam Jothivijayarani (who goes by Dr. Rani) is an OBGYN from Sarasota who practices Inner Engineering and recommends it to her patients.
