Get a glimpse into the first edition of Mystic Musings – a 10-day exploration of culture and spirituality with Sadhguru in Southeast Asia. During the program, the participants had the unique opportunity to participate in intimate satsangs with Sadhguru, experience powerful meditations, explore sacred temples and places of spiritual significance, and more.

Sadhguru sets the tone for the first ever Mystic Musings program with his inspiring words: “This is your program; this is not my program. We are in a place which is culturally significant; all over there are beautiful temples, culture, tradition, and of course shopping. You decide what you want to do. Whenever you want, I’m available. I want to remind you that you are with someone who is willing to throw his life away for small things. Knowing that, you decide.”
Speaking about the rich Balinese culture, Sadhguru explained: “Bali is an extremely beautiful place, not just as nature. At every step that you take, there is an ancient temple. It’s a culture like how India used to be a thousand years ago. But it has developed its own culture. The language has transformed itself into Balinese. Many customs and rituals have transformed themselves over a period of time. But essentially, it is Indian culture or Indian civilization which moved away and became its own. Unlike India, which was conquered and rubbished in many ways, and it lost many aspects of its civilization, here on an island, it preserved itself and evolved into its own nature, which is very, very beautiful and fantastic.”
