Sadhguru embarked on an 800-mile transnational motorcycle ride from Isha Institute of Inner-sciences in Tennessee, via Detroit, Michigan, all the way to Toronto, Canada, to attend the CIF Global Indian Award ceremony and conduct the Soak in Ecstasy of Enlightenment program.
The Canada India Foundation (CIF) celebrated Sadhguru with the Global Indian Award 2025, which recognizes individuals of Indian origin who have made a significant global impact.
Alongside the award, the CIF presented a donation of CA$50,000 to Cauvery Calling, a farmer-driven ecological movement aiming to revitalize the Cauvery river basin by enabling over 5.2 million farmers to adopt tree-based agriculture and plant 2.42 billion trees. This impactful campaign has been instrumental in shaping government policies for river revitalization, offering farmers a powerful economic model that ensures ecological sustainability.
Following the award presentation, Sadhguru delivered an engaging address, challenging attendees to prioritize inner wellbeing. He emphasized that humans possess the unique ability to consciously choose our inner state – to be blissful rather than miserable – yet most fail to exercise this choice.
Highlighting the growing mental health crisis, particularly alarming suicide rates among youth, he introduced the free Miracle of Mind app as a practical solution, encouraging just seven minutes of daily practice to cultivate inner wellbeing.
Reflecting on the event, Sadhguru shared on X: “Wonderful to see the Indian community contributing to the growth and prosperity of both Canada and India. Deeply appreciate your warmth & hospitality. Much Love & Blessings. -Sg”
