Volunteering at Sadhguru Sannidhi, Bengaluru is an incredible opportunity to be part of the making of a powerful center for inner transformation. Already a vibrant space with the Adiyogi, Yogeshwar Linga and the Naga, the Sannidhi is set to witness many more projects in the coming years, including Linga Bhairavi, Navagraha shrines and Teerthakunds. It will also be a hub for the Isha Leadership Academy, Isha Home School, Isha Samskriti and Isha Health Solutions, among others.
Compared to the three decades it took to establish the Isha Yoga Center in Coimbatore, Sadhguru has set an ambitious goal of fully establishing the Sannidhi in just three years, which will require a massive effort.
Many of us find the incredible experiences of those involved in the early days of the Isha Yoga Center, Coimbatore deeply touching and long to have such an opportunity ourselves. By volunteering at Sadhguru Sannidhi, you will have the opportunity to not only offer your skills but also experience the immense fulfillment of shaping a vibrant spiritual center that will serve generations to come.
