A former close associate of Sadhguru has come forward with a series of shocking facts about the cult leader’s lifestyle. The individual, who was closely involved with Sadhguru for several years, paints a troubling picture of the guru’s personal habits.

According to the source, Sadhguru, now in his 60s, has a diet far removed from the yogic principles he publicly advocates. The source shares that Sadhguru regularly consumes non-vegetarian foods, with pork being his favorite, followed by beef, chicken, and fish. His daily meals reportedly include bacon, sausage, and eggs for breakfast, pork biryani loaded with spices for lunch, and beef for dinner.

Despite being diabetic for over 30 years, Sadhguru requires insulin three times a day, with his doctors reportedly shocked by the extent of his health issues uncovered during blood work for recent brain surgery. The source said that Sadhguru’s brain surgeon confided in a friend about the severity of his medical conditions, expressing concerns about his overall health.

The source also shared that Sadhguru’s dietary habits extended to his family, sharing that he provided low-quality beef jerky purchased from the American chain Walmart to his daughter, Radhe, starting when she was just 8 years old.

The source portrays Sadhguru as living a double life, promoting spirituality while indulging in a meat-heavy diet and facing serious health challenges, including fears about his mortality.

These facts, shared by an individual who once had close ties to Sadhguru, paint a starkly different picture of the spiritual leader and the Isha Foundation than the one presented to the public.

Note: Sadhguru's eating habits may seem normal to many in the West, but they would be shocking for many in India, especially followers of Hinduism/Sanatan Dharma and Jainism. From the perspective of Hinduism/Sanatan Dharma and Jainism, consuming non-vegetarian foods, particularly beef, is considered taboo due to the reverence for cows and the principle of ahimsa (non-violence). We are not endorsing vegetarian or non-vegetarian food here or debating what is right or wrong, but it is important to note that people still face the risk of being lynched in India for possessing beef. It would indeed be a shocking revelation for many in India to learn about Sadhguru's eating habits, given that his PR team aggressively promotes him as a representative of Sanatan Dharma, strategically using this image to cover his crimes and misdeeds and deceive his followers.

Sadhguru's exploitation of women under the guise of spirituality

A former close associate and follower of Sadhguru has made startling revelations regarding group sex orgies passed off as Kama Sutra, sexual misconduct including oral sex under the guise of sadhana, and rape occurring at his home in Coimbatore, India ashram, his home in the US ashram, and in hotels in California, USA during high-priced Inner Engineering programs.

These witness revelations by a former believer disclose how Sadhguru, supported by his handlers, Nathalie and Aparna, frequently engaged in inappropriate sexual activities, including sex with multiple women at the same time, under the guise of spiritual practices during retreats, Inner Engineering programs, and private sadhana meetings.

Coimbatore: Illicit Activities at Sadhguru’s House

According to Sara (name changed), in 2006/2007, Sadhguru invited select women from Lebanon to his residence inside Isha Yoga Centre in Coimbatore, where he maintained a private shrine.

This shrine, which has a Devi photo and is distinct from the Dhyanalinga Temple, was used as a pretext for the secretive activities. The spiritual context, including the presence of the Devi photo inside the shrine, was used to create an atmosphere of legitimacy, dispelling suspicions among participants.

According to Sara, women were brought to Sadhguru’s residence under the pretense of participating in spiritual practices and were told that the Devi inside the shrine was more powerful than even the Dhyanalinga for certain conditions and situations.

Sadhguru also had Nathalie teaching several of the full-time women monks how to masturbate and apply their female juices to the Devi.

A source from India’s national intelligence agency, the Intelligence Bureau (IB), said these orgies, some of which also involved government officials and Isha residents, were often video-recorded by Sadhguru and his handlers and continue to be used for blackmail.

Los Angeles: Illicit activities at a 5-star hotel

A similar scenario emerged from Sadhguru’s numerous Inner Engineering programs in Los Angeles between 2005 and 2006. According to Sara’s account, these programs involved Sadhguru and his handlers staying in luxurious LA hotels where Sadhguru engaged in group sex orgies with select women in his private hotel room, all organized under the pretext of discussing yoga and spiritual practices. Sara claimed that his handlers would set up the rooms for these meetings.

The Birth of the ‘Red Saree’ ritual

Sara also recounted an incident in Los Angeles where Sadhguru proposed charging $36,000 for a program initially priced at $8,000, leveraging emotional and spiritual rhetoric to justify the high cost. He reportedly framed women participants as “Shakti” to his “Shiva,” claiming to infuse them with his life energies, which justified the exorbitant fee. This initiation and the process is what is now known as the infamous ‘Red Saree’ ritual.

Conclusion

Other witnesses, who are still associated with Sadhguru, said that these were not isolated situations and are still ongoing today. They also said that Sadhguru’s handlers have become so brainwashed that they are not only organizing his criminal activities but also participating in them.

Sadhguru’s sexual crimes against young girls revealed in leaked audio

Coimbatore resident Bharathi Varadaraj, a one-time close follower of Sadhguru, discusses how Sadhguru removed the shirts of young girls before initiation (deeksha) and rubbed them on the spine and with his heel below the navel.

PS: Sadhguru’s biography, Sadhguru: More Than a Life, mentions Bharathi 78 times in total.

Audio Transcript:

Bharathi Varadaraj: Listen, no no no, listen, this, he (Sadhguru) was removing the shirt of these young girls for initiating them. They were sent to this room, I mean the shrine, without the shirts.
