A former associate of Jaggi Vasudev (Sadhguru) recounts his journey from admiration to deep disillusionment, exposing alleged manipulation, deceit, and troubling incidents surrounding the Isha Foundation’s rise. The author, who worked alongside Jaggi in the early years, claims he witnessed Vasudev’s transformation from a sharp businessman into a powerful spiritual leader with strong political connections. The article details how Jaggi allegedly appropriated teachings from his guru Rishi Prabhakar, rebranded them as his own, and leveraged political ties, particularly with Tamil Nadu’s former CM Karunanidhi, to gain influence.
The most disturbing claim revolves around the mysterious death of Jaggi’s wife, Viji. The author describes how Viji, distressed by her husband’s alleged extramarital affairs and reported abuse, sought help multiple times before her sudden passing. He alleges that she was placed under house arrest at the Isha ashram and was later overdosed on sleeping pills, with her death conveniently labeled as “Mahasamadhi” to avoid legal scrutiny. The swift cremation, without a proper medical investigation, raises further suspicions.
The article also mentions allegations of sexual exploitation within the ashram, including reports from parents of young women who allegedly died by suicide after carrying Jaggi’s child. The author expresses guilt for not acting sooner but warns that any public condemnation of Jaggi is met with significant risk due to his political and occult connections.
Despite the dangers, the author calls on Vasudev to reflect on his actions and return to a path of integrity. He also hints at possessing crucial evidence regarding Viji’s death, which he claims will be released posthumously if necessary. The exposé ends with a plea for accountability, urging journalists and investigators to take a closer look at the Isha Foundation’s hidden truths.
