Subject: Request for Urgent Investigation into the Circumstances Leading to My Wife’s Tragic Death After Attending Isha Foundation’s Program
Respected Shri Narendra Modi ji,
Hon’ble Prime Minister of India,
Namaskar.
I am writing to you as a grieving husband and a father to a five-year-old daughter, seeking your urgent attention and intervention in a matter that has destroyed my family and raises deep concerns about the unchecked spiritual practices followed by Isha Foundation (Coimbatore).
My wife Mrs. Aarti Khosla (name changed) lost her life on the morning of XX, XXX 2025, just weeks after participating in the Samyama Program conducted by Isha Foundation in Coimbatore from X to X, XXX 2025.
She returned from the program a changed person—not in peace, but in deep torment. She began experiencing intense emotional, psychological, and physical turmoil. She described sensations in her body that she couldn’t explain, and often said she felt like someone or something had “entered” her. She would say her mind was being controlled, and that she was spiritually disturbed in a way none of us could understand. Her exact words, "I want to live, but something is not letting me," still echo painfully in my mind.
She sought help from the very people she had trusted—the Isha Foundation teachers and support staff. But despite reaching out several times, she was left without meaningful help.
When nothing worked—not even doctors or therapy sessions—just to bring my wife some comfort and spiritual peace, I took her to our family temple, XXXXX XXX temple. There, our family priest confirmed that she was under the strong influences of tamsik practices being performed at Isha foundation.
I believe—firmly—that this was the outcome of spiritual and psychological manipulation that drove my wife to unbearable despair. She was a devoted mother, a strong woman. Something broke her spirit in ways I still cannot comprehend.
Sir, I am a simple middle-class man. I don’t have the resources, influence, or legal knowledge to fight against a large and powerful institution like Isha foundation. All I have is faith in your leadership and hope for justice. It is with folded hands that I request you to please investigate the tantrik or harmful spiritual practices being carried out within Isha Foundation.
My wife trusted this institution, as do many others. If such unregulated spiritual activities continue unchecked, many other innocent sisters and daughters in our country could fall victim to similar harm. Please help protect them.
This is not only about my loss, but about the need to ensure accountability and safety in institutions that hold spiritual influence over countless lives.
With folded hands and utmost trust in your leadership,
Akash Khosla
