How Does One Become a Poornanga?
Glimpses
“Throwing yourself into something that's much bigger than you and feeling very small is actually way more liberating than anything that money could have offered me. That's what keeps me going every day.”
"Being a Poornanga has been a roller coaster ride. Every day is a new situation. I've been here for a few years, but in my personal growth, it feels like many years have passed."
"Living in a community and constantly being focused in one direction is a huge privilege. Everything is taken care of and everyone is working towards each other's growth. It's not a simple environment to create."
“I realized that unless human beings become more conscious, we will not have a better world. Once it became clear that the real master of all the great technology to make this change happen is Sadhguru, there was no doubt about where I should be.”
