Thursday, April 14, 2011 The Gospel of Isha Foundation and its Founder: False, Sadhguru Sri Jaggi Vasudev [SJV] His stories, contradictions,lies, deceptions & manipulations. Vasudev. A brief History of False, Sadhguru Sri Jaggi Vasudev. Sripada Jagadeesh[Jaggi] Vasudev, appeared on this planet, on 03-September1957 at mysore town, karnataka state, India and was the youngest of the 4 children of his parents. Father was an ophthalmologist in Indian Railways, Mother was a homemaker. His parents, wanted him, to become a doctor, but Sri Jaggi Vasudev, after schooling, underwent, one year of selfteaching, at the Mysore University, learnt various subjects and developed a keen interest towards, English Literature and graduated in the same subject. After this, as he wanted to travel, he got into, various businesses, like poultry farming, construction & was very successful and made a lot of money. Sri Jaggi Vasudev says, he has no tradition to back him and does not come, from any lineage of enlightened spiritual masters, or any disciplic succession type of system, like ISKCON or a Dasanami monastic order like Adi Sankaracharya. "Sri Jaggi Vasudev" being too much, influenced by the life of Lord Gautama Buddha, Buddhism, & Lord Buddha's Sangha concept, and wanting to replicate the same, in this modern age, had some, inborn aversion, contempt, and prejudice towards the vedic traditions, scriptures, especially "philosophy" as a subject & had deliberately, avoided learning sanskrit, studying Indian Philosophy, even when, he had many chances to do so, in his life, but had read the works of some unknown European

Philosophers like Dostoevsky, Camus, Kafka. Sadhguru means an uneducated guru, one who has no training in sanskrit the vedas or upanishads or any school of philosophy. All "Sri Jaggi Vasudev" has, is his own inner life experience and he proudly confesses, that, he has till date, not read even the Bhagavad-Gita[Sacred Scripture of the Hindus] yet his clarity and knowing is even much better than what Lord Krishna states in the Gita. He states, that at the age of 25, on 23-Sep-1982, when he was sitting, at his place of birth, on top of one Chamundi Hill, he suddenly felt, the entire surroundings around him, have become a part of him and there is no him and no others. Everything had become him and in a moment 4 hours had passed. He had nothing, to do with spirituality, no enlightenment till then and suddenly he finds that tears are flowing and his dress is wet. Till then, he had always felt, that duality was existence and he had no problems with that. Tears and adult Sri Jaggi Vasudev were just impossible, he says. Then again, the same experience, happened while he was sitting, on his dinner table, with members of his family and this time the same experience, with tears lasted for over 7 hours. His relatives, asked him, whether he had drunk alcohol and what he had done, that so much water, akin to river Ganges was flowing from his eyes. Then, when he was sitting, in his farm, he had the same experience and this time, it was 13 days. For 13 days, he simply sat, without food or water. After this, he found that he had been in samadhi and people were all around him, trying to touch his feet, asking solutions to their problems, and wanting to garland him and he just hated it. After this, his voice, his eyes, body shape, all changed drastically and he walked out of his poultry farming and construction business. Then, after nearly one year, of hanging out and not knowing, what he should do, suddenly three past life times[370 years] of memory descended on him in a flash. In the 1st SJV was "Bilva" who died very young by a snake bite. In his 2nd incarnation he was "Shiva Yogi". In the 3rd he was Sadhguru "Shri Brahma" who left his body through all the 7 chakras at the age of 42. And at present in his 4th appearance he is "Jaggi Vasudev". Since child-hood "Sri Jaggi Vasudev" was a sworn atheist, an excessively, aristotalic logician, A nonbeliever and still does not believe, in the existence, of a personal-God, and had always made fun of temples, never having visited any, and when his parents, took him to the temple, he had put, such difficult questions to them, which they could not answer, that they always left him with the shoe-keeper, paying the shoe-keeper some money.

At that time; He had, hung outside temples and observed that, only miserable people were visiting temples, and those who were blissful and joyful by themselves stayed away from temples. He further noted that, those who came from temples, after meeting the creator, were always cursing him and the creation later, as their foot-wear, got stolen, from the temple gates, while as people, who came from restaurants after having Idly, Vada, Dosa [A south-indian snack meal] were far more blissful and happy". He logically stated; "There are 300,000 Gods in India, but why is their fear in your hearts? Whatever Gods, you believe in, is simply based, on the social situation, in which, you have been raised." "Whether your God has 4 hands or 8 hands, Lion Head, Elephant Head, Monkey Head, is simply, other people's stories & your imagination, which has nothing, to do with reality! We never thought, of our Gods possessing 8 legs ever, but even then, he could, never have surpassed a centipede." He had openly challenged people in speeches, stating that; "All those who believe in God, just for 1 day, leave your family & your business in God's hands and see what happens" and so, had discouraged/destroyed the faith of people, in temples, deity worship, rituals, invocations, stating; Dont think, that singing invocations Visalakshi, this akshi that akshi, Kailasha Vasa, Kashmir Vasa & by visiting temples/churches/mosques, you will become spiritual; Looking at gods you will only hallucinate." Actually there is no God, no soul, no atma! The creation has come only from void, nothingness or darkness." "All these things are mere addresses he added!" But now suddenly, after three life times of memory, opening up, the only goal of his life, is to erect, consecrate, an ellipsoidal hindu form, called a "Shiva Linga" but this is special, unlike any other, called a "Dhyanalinga", not meant for worship, but only meant for the purpose of meditation. According to "Sri Jaggi Vasudev" a human body is also, similar to a dhyanalinga with seven chakras or energy centres, located from the anal point, to the top of head. Right from the inception, to planning, to consecration and energization everything descended in "Sri Jaggi Vasudev" simply from within because his Guru "Sri Palani Swami" had touched his forehead with his pointed-staff in his previous life as "Shiva Yogi". After this, "Sri Jaggi Vasudev" was gone, and selfenlightened/self-rechristened Sadhguru was born, as the story goes. Then, with sadhguru being born, he came to Coimbatore, a city, in tamil nadu state, india and spent 17 years, building good will, in society. Then he located the place, where in his previous life, as sadhguru "Sri Brahma", he had shed his body, a place called velliangiri foot hills, 30kms west of coimbatore and immediately, after seeing the 7th hill at that place, he knew that this was the place, where the dhyanalinga, had to be erected as per his Gurus wish. All, those people, who had known sadhguru, in his previous three life times, were readily waiting for him at velliangiri foothills, is what SJV says! Within 10 days, with the
