In these 75 years as a nation, we have come a long way. Of course, we can always complain that we could have been better, but in 1947, when the British left us, the average life expectancy of an Indian was 28 years. Today it is over 70. Businesses have developed, infrastructure has come up, and science and technology have evolved. India is in space, going to Mars. Many things have happened. And above all, many qualified Indians across the world are managing some of the top businesses.

Isha Foundation Founder Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev on Monday said India is the direction the world will move in the next decade.

India is the direction that the world will move in the next decade, Isha Foundation founder and spiritual leader Sadhguru Jaggi on Monday said during 76th Independence Day celebrations in Coimbatore.

In the life of a nation, seventy-five years of independence is not too much time. The important thing to take into consideration is where we were and where we are today. In 1947 when India attained its independence, the average life expectancy of an Indian was twenty-eight years. Today it is seventy plus years. This is a phenomenal achievement, and this is what nation building means – that people are living longer and living better.

A strong sense of nationhood is needed to enable the prosperity and well-being of those left out of the growth cycle of India, said Sadhguru, the founder of Isha foundation, in his Independence Day message. 

Freedom means different things to different people, depending on the context of their lives. In India, before 1947, “azadi” meant freedom from British rule. We believed we would be free if the British went away. They did go away and politically, we are free. But as long as an individual experiences himself as a limited piece of existence, freedom will remain an issue because there is something within a human being that dislikes boundaries.

On Sadhguru's birthday and inspired by the global movement he launched to Save Soil, the farmers of Banaskantha district in Gujarat came together today for a historic moment—they established the Banas Save Soil Farmer Producer Company (BSSFPC), one of India's first soil-focused Farmer Producer Companies (FPC), in partnership with the Save Soil Movement.

The Secretary-General has earlier shown her support for the global Save Soil movement when Sadhguru went on a crucial 100-day, 30,000 km solo motorcycle journey across 27 nations to bring urgent policy interventions in the world to save the dying soil.

Isha’s Save Soil movement reflects what the U.N. agencies and the Commonwealth are aspiring to do, Commonwealth Nations Secretary-General Patricia Scotland has said.

Patricia Scotland- the sixth and first lady of the Secretary General of the Commonwealth, who is currently on a ten-day visit to the Republic of India, toured Agroforestry Farm in Pollachi.

Human resource practitioners, entrepreneurs, chief experience officers and business leaders from across the country are attending the 5th edition of the programme, which started with an introductory video from Sadhguru, explaining the insight behind the programme.

Sixteen-year-old Sahil Jha is on a mission to save soil for the future generations. A native of Kolkata, Sahil started his journey on May 1 on his bicycle. He will travel 25,000 km through various States in one-and-a-half years to convey the message of protecting the soil.

The Delhi High Court today issued an interim order directing Tamil Media outlet Nakkheeran media to remove defamatory videos and articles published against Isha Foundation and Sadhguru.

Speaking at a session yesterday of Brand INSIGHT at Isha Yoga Center Coimbatore to over 100 brand managers, business owners, and C-suite executives, Yogi and mystic, Sadhguru said, “You must make sure “Made in Bharat” means it's the best.

In a case that was earlier dismissed by the Madras High Court, the Supreme Court today heard a Special Leave Petition (SLP) filed by an individual regarding the modern gas crematorium established at the Isha Yoga Center in Coimbatore.

In a momentous recognition of extraordinary contributions to India's progress, Sadhguru, Founder of Isha Foundation, and Shri Rajnath Singh, Hon’ble Union Defence Minister, presented the inaugural Bhavya Bharat Bhushan Awards during the Mahashivratri celebrations at Isha Yoga Center yesterday.

“The divinity I am experiencing here makes it clear, even without anyone telling me that this place is blessed by Mahadeva, the Lord of Lords”, said Union Defence Minister Shri Rajnath Singh, speaking at the Mahashivratri celebrations at Isha Yoga Center in Coimbatore this evening.
