Sub: Bharat must stop Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev from denigrating and insulting Hindu gods, goddesses, and practices in a highly reprehensible manner
Dear Shri Amit Shah Ji,
Namaste.
My greetings for Ganesh Chaturthi and my prayers to Lord Ganesha for bestowing success, prosperity, and happiness upon all your family members.
I am a former civil servant who held important posts in the Government, including Under Secretary in the Ministry of Home Affairs, Deputy Land and Development Officer in the Ministry of Urban Development, and Deputy Financial Adviser in the Ministry of Textiles before I sought voluntary retirement in 2018 to pursue my passion for writing and teaching dispute resolution through Vedic jurisprudence, and to continue my independent study of the Vedas, Puranas, and Itihasa. In this context, I am disturbed by a certain sect leader spreading falsehoods, which are detailed in the following paragraphs.
Can we imagine a leading figure in the Hindu spiritual world calling Lord Shiva a debauch, Lord Krishna a Romeo who would be killed by common people in today’s world, and Maa Yashoda’s love for Krishna a romance, while openly denigrating Hinduism’s ancient Saatvik practices like a Vamachari Tantrik?
We likely cannot fathom this even in our dreams. Yet, this is happening daily, blatantly, and involves a man with a massive global following, with dangerous repercussions for Bharat, especially for our youth, in both the short and long term.
Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev has been openly insulting Hindu gods, goddesses and scriptures and trying to mislead over 1.2 billion Hindus worldwide using modern tools and technologies like social media.
He has been openly hurting Hindu sentiments and speaking in a horrendous manner against Hindu gods, goddesses, and practices for a very long time now. Please find below a small list of Sadhguru’s reprehensible comments in context of Hinduism:
1. Shiva is a drunkard, debauchee, and drug addict, says Sadhguru
Sadhguru: Tell me, the first Yogi, let's take the first Yogi as an example, Shiva. Can you call this guy a good man? Hmm, can you call him a good man? Huh, no, just tell me by the stories that you have heard. See, after all, it's the stories that we have heard from the Shivpurana, isn’t it? He is a great Yogi, but he's a drunkard. Do you know Shiva is a drunkard? He's a great householder, but a mad debauchee. He is perfect awareness, but a drug addict. All the gods worship him, but his friends are all demented beings. Do you know this? So, do you call this man a good man or a bad man?
2. Sadhguru says you would kill Krishna, not worship him, if he were alive today
Sadhguru: Living people, such a problem they are, we hate them, dead people we love them because you can mould dead people the way you want in your mind. You can make Krishna, whatever you want today. So easy. But if a man like that was there in your neighborhood, you know how many problems you would have with him. Yes, enormous problems you will have, because your wife will want to go and dance with him. Your mother already dancing with him. Your daughters want to run away with him. You want to kill that man. You don't want to worship him. Now 5,000 years later, you want to worship him. It's so easy, isn't it, wasn't that the reality?
3. Yashoda’s motherly love for Krishna faded over time and she became his romantic lover, as per Sadhguru
Sadhguru: Starting with Yashoda, his foster mother, she was deeply in love with a boy, not just as her son, much more than that. See, not when she was very… when he was very young, yes, as an infant, it was all about the beautiful child that she had. But as he grew, he grew too rapidly. His growth is phenomenal. No mother can adjust her motherhood to that kind of growth. So her motherhood fell off somewhere. By the time he was five, six, after that she couldn't really be his mother. She became more of his lover. She just loved him. So Yashoda's relationship with Krishna grew that she also became one of the gopis. She was also part of the rasa. She did not like Radhe because she thought this girl… She described her as too forward, whatever that meant.
4. Sadhguru says Ma Parvati sat n*ked in sadhana to pursue Shiva
Excerpts from Sadhguru’s official website:
Sadhguru: So, she (Ma Parvati) stopped eating altogether and removed this one leaf she had covered herself with. She sat n*ked and without food, simply absorbed.
5. You could only enter a Shiva temple n*ked before British rule, says Sadhguru
Excerpts from Sadhguru’s official website:
Sadhguru: In India, there was a time when you could only enter a Shiva temple n*ked. Only after the British came into the country and started banning all these things, we have become very prudish.
6. Sadhguru says Temple pradakshina should be performed n*ked to gain greater benefits
Excerpts from Sadhguru’s official website:
Sadhguru: If you want to benefit more, your hair should be wet. If you want to benefit even more, your clothes should also be wet. If you want to benefit still more, you must go around n*ked.
7. Even Hindu gods are involved in same-s*x activity since ancient times, says Sadhguru
Excerpts from Sadhguru’s official website:
Question. Same s*x relationships...?
Sadhguru: This is not a prudish country. Right from ancient times, even our gods are involved in s*xual activity, so it is not a strange thing for us.
8. We may even name our dog Shiva, says Sadhguru
Sadhguru: Now, if you look here, the male members of the people who are sitting here, more than seventy percent of them, their names are some expression of Shiva. Have they realized something? Have they seen that which is not? No. But they are capable. So, we know they are potential Shiva. So, we call them also Shiva. We may even name our dog Shiva, okay? We don’t think it’s an offence. Because a dog does not know that which is not, a dog is not a yogi, the dog is not going to realize either in his life, but we know he also comes from the same source as I came, as you came. He also comes from the same source. So, we don’t think it’s a improper thing to call our dog also yoga.
9. You should put your n*ked body on the temple floor to feel it, say Sadhguru
Sadhguru: What we established yesterday is a drida dande, because it's solidified mercury. So, this is liquid mercury; it will stay this way. So, this is the rasa danda. These two will reverberate together and make things happen. You will see, from now, by midnight today, it will be phenomenally different. I want you to be like a snake, put your whole body to the ground and feel it. That’s the idea of prostration. I want you to know, the idea of prostration is, you are not sensitive enough to go into a temple and just receive him like this. So, you put your body to the floor, n*ked if possible. If n*kedness is not allowed, with minimum clothes, at least the upper body. You know, temples always demanded this. Slowly, it's going away, so that you get in touch with the earth and feel it.
10. Sadhguru making fun of Satyanarayan Pooja
Sadhguru: Anyway your Satyanarayan Pooja you dont perform, somebody else performs for you. Maybe he will be benefited, about you who knows. You get smoked and you catch a bad cold, next day you… sinus all burnt up and swollen. Generally your house is totally smoked in Satyanarayan Pooja.
The examples provided above also demonstrate how Sadhguru is misusing Article 19 of the Constitution of India.
Interestingly, Sadhguru appears to have a concealed and indirect connection with George Soros, who has publicly demonised the Honorable Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the World Economic Forum (WEF) and the Munich Security Conference (MSC).
The hidden connection arises from the fact that Sadhguru’s Isha Foundation and various entities linked to George Soros both utilized the services of Mossack Fonseca to establish offshore entities, as revealed in the Panama Papers. This enabled both Sadhguru and George Soros to operate beyond the oversight of U.S., Indian, and other global regulators.
I thus request the formation of a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to conduct a thorough investigation and uncover the truth behind the forces guiding Sadhguru’s highly denigrating and insulting views on Hinduism and its divine personalities.
I am willing to testify in person with additional evidence to establish, beyond doubt, that Sadhguru has a dubious agenda aimed at targeting and destroying Hinduism from within.
Sir, Bharat faced a similar threat over a decade ago with Asaram Bapu’s nefarious activities. The nation and its systems rose to the occasion and neutralized that threat. Bharat must rise again to counter this new threat.
Satyamev Jayate!
