Darshan with Sadhguru at Isha Institute of Inner-sciences

Immerse yourself in the presence and grace of Sadhguru through Darshan offered on September 23rd, 2024 at Isha Institute, marking his first live event in North America in nearly a year. 

This day holds deep significance as it marks both Sadhguru’s Enlightenment Day and the 9th anniversary of the consecration of Adiyogi: The Abode of Yoga. It was on this day that a profound experience of indescribable ecstasy unfolded within him. From that moment onwards, Sadhguru’s life has been dedicated to making this possibility a reality for every human being.

Darshan, meaning "to behold," is an opportunity to be in the presence of Sadhguru, to receive and absorb his grace and wisdom. The event offers an uncharted time with Sadhguru where he candidly unfolds his knowing, subject to who is sitting in front of him. 

For every seeker, a moment of receptivity and complete willingness in the presence of an enlightened being has the potential to open new doors to deeper dimensions of perception and experience.

MAY 4 Buddha Purnima Darshan

JUNE 10 Darshan

JULY 2-3 In the Lap of The Master

JULY 3 Guru Purnima Darshan 

A captivating night in the presence of Sadhguru brought together seekers from various locations to experience his wisdom. With typical wit and wisdom, Sadhguru revealed the constraints of mental and emotional bonds, and led participants in a guided meditation.

Sadhguru: “What we can do with our strength, intelligence and knowledge is very limited. If you open the window of grace, then life will happen in ways that you have not imagined possible. If you leave a certain space within you where your thoughts, emotions, ideas, philosophies, ideologies and prejudices do not enter, then grace will be a torrential force in your life. If you are full of your own stuff, then grace floats around you. This is the tragedy of most human life that a tremendous possibility hangs around them all the time, but they never allow it to happen. The idea, focus and methodology for all spiritual process is just to tear down your persona so that there is an empty presence within you which will become a doorway to grace and possibilities that you yourself could never imagine possible.” 

Sadhguru: “On Guru Purnima, there is a certain alliance between the Moon and the planets, which creates a receptivity in people to that dimension which we refer to as the Guru. So, this month is seen as the best time to receive the Grace of the Guru and make yourself receptive to the process. This is a good time to earn that attention from Grace.

On that full moon night of Guru Purnima, 15,000 years ago, as Adiyogi turned his attention to the seven sages, for the very first time in the history of humanity, human beings were reminded that they are not a fixed life. If they are willing to strive, every door in the existence is open. A human being need not be confined by the simple laws of nature. 

For people who are on the spiritual path, Guru Purnima is the biggest day in the year because they want to receive the grace of the Adi Guru and every other Guru on the way.”
