"For the last two years I have been working on a very high pressure program at my work placehigh
visibility, long hours, new territory in some ways. All the ingredients of a stressful job.But I felt the stress
very little, thanks to IE. And I could put in sustained long hours for two years without an issue. The kriya
energized me daily, my sleep quota has been reduced already, and the increased awareness of my
interiority enabled me to stay even keeled.

"All my life I feel I've been searching for something."
All my life I feel I've been searching for something. I never received sufficient answers from the people
who were supposed to know things about life. This frustrated me a great deal. And then everything
changed after this Inner Engineering class that was presented to me. I began to find answers and
through those answers fulfillment and happiness, and inner peace. In just over one year my life has
changed dramatically for the better, to the point where things that usually bother most people, I am
unaffected by. There has never been anything in my life that has had this much meaning and substance
than what I have discovered through the Isha Foundation and Inner Engineering.

"It is everyone's right to live a pleasant, joyful life. No
matter what happens externally, there is a way to engineer your inside so that
you can maintain yourself the way you want to! Sadhguru plays with a common
tool -- the iPhone -- and points out how little we know about the "I" as compared
to the external gadget. Watch this video and see the profound impact Inner
Engineering can have on your life."


"In this age of high-powered technology easily available to
almost everyone, Sadhguru reveals the one thing we as a humanity are still
missing -- Inclusive Consciousness. We have the tools to address just about any
issue on the planet. This is a privilege! If this privilege is not combined
with raised human consciousness, in time all these advancements will turn
against us..."

What is the significance of number 108?
Sadhguru explains yoga means aligning your system with the cosmic geometry. Sadhguru conducts
special Inner Engineering program in the U.S.

interiority enabled me to stay even keeled.

"In Eastern cultures, the number 108 is significant...but why?
Sadhguru tells us a few of the many mathematic equations which connect our
individual human systems with the vast human existence. He says that the yogic
culture has created methods to align our systems with the cosmos. If we can
properly align ourselves with this vastness, we will have access to cosmic
knowledge."
What is the best contribution for the next
generation?
Sadhguru tells us why raising human consciousness is vital to our survival.

"In this age of high-powered technology easily available to
almost everyone, Sadhguru reveals the one thing we as a humanity are still
missing -- Inclusive Consciousness. We have the tools to address just about any
issue on the planet. This is a privilege! If this privilege is not combined

Shekhar Kapur asks Sadhguru about "After
Death"
Sadhguru and one of India's leading Film Directors Shekhar Kapur, continue their one on one dialogues
at the Isha Yoga Center, this time touching on the subject each one of us will inevitably be faced with...
Death. Not only that, but they speak on the significance of the last moment of death, the impact of
Suicide, Heaven and Hell, Rebirth, Reincarnation, the Afterlife, Ghosts and more.
Human Potential

Sadhguru explains that people live far below their full potential simply because they are
oscillating between memory and imagination.

People live far below their full potential simply because they are oscillating between memory
and imagination but not in reality. If people learn to live with realities they would function so
much better. Another huge aspect is they are lost in their belief systems believing everything
that they do not know always working with assumptions too many assumptions but it takes
hundred years to realize simple facts of life

Why fear?
Sadhguru talks about how you are experiencing fear because you're not living with life; you're
living in your mind.

The fear is simply because you are not living with life you are living in your mind. Your fear is
always about what's going to happen next that means your fear is always about that which does
not exist. If your fear is about the nonexistent your fear is 100% imaginary. If you are suffering
the non-existential we call that insanity. so people maybe in just socially accepted levels of
insanity but if you are afraid or if you are suffering anything which does not exist it amount to
insanity. Isn't it? People are always suffering either what happened yesterday or what may
happen tomorrow. So your suffering is always about that which does not exist simply because
you're not rooted in reality you're always rooted in your mind. Mind is one part of it is memory
and another part is imagination both of them are in one way imagination because both of them
don't exist right now. You are lost in your imagination that's the basis of your fear if you are
rooted in reality there would be no fear..
What Does the Word Yoga Mean? Who is a
Yogi?
Sadhguru speaks on Yoga. He says when you experience everything as yourself, you are in yoga.

The very word yoga means just this. When you experience everything as yourself you are in
yoga. Because the word yoga means union when you and the other has disappeared and only
you exist it's yoga. A Yogi means one who has experienced this union or oneness of the
existence. So this parable is just trying to tell you how a human being could experience the
whole existence as a part of himself. Logically everybody can understand that I am a part of the
existence but the truth is the existence is also a part of you as a drop is a part of the ocean the
ocean is also part of the drop.
How to Experience Oneness?
Sadhguru reminds us we are all unique. Once you begin to enjoy the uniqueness of life, oneness
will happen out of that.


We are all unique! Each one of us is different and it is so wonderful that we are different. We
may spring from the same oneness of our interiority but as human beings as individuals every
one of us is unique. we're different that's what is beautiful about us and the oneness is not yet
in our experience at least not yet in the common human experience. So at least let's enjoy the
difference.
If you learn to enjoy the difference... if you see that every human being is a unique human being
only once in the whole eternity only once this kind of human being happens you cannot find
exactly this kind of human being anywhere else in the existence at any time in eternity only once
that is true with yourself with your friend with your enemy with your loved ones and the ones
you hate all of them are absolutely unique. Anything that you see as unique you value it. Isn't it?
Anything that you value you will have no problems with it and oneness will happen out of that.
If you begin to
enjoy the uniqueness of life oneness will happen out of that...




What did two million people learn in Inner
engineering? And Why?
Sadhguru speaks on the significance of practicing Shambhavi Mahamudra., 21 minute practice
that you learn in Inner -engineering.

Also participants share their transformation or shift in their perception after doing Inner
engineering practice.

Do you see this body as we been going through this again and again through the same point
when it was born it was so small now it became this much definitely you didn't need any
external stretching help to get into this size isn't it? That which is the source of creation what
you refer to as the creator seem to be functioning from within you isn't it so? Yes? The creator is
functioning but that means the manufacturer of this body and this existence seems to be
functioning from within you. If the manufacturer is inside if you allow him to function fixing
small flaws in the body you think it'll be a problem? So, shambhavi mahamudra is just creating a
passage so that your inner most core functions. If you allow it to function the nature of this in
yoga we refer to your inner most core as the bliss body people have always talked for ages that
if you come in contact with god you will become blissful you know brahmanand you know
they've been talking about this see it's different ways of presenting it your inner most core is
refer to as bliss body now all we are trying to do is the physical body the mental body the pranic
body and the ethnic body will align it in such a way so that the innermost core within you the
bliss body finds expression the shambhavi is not creating ecstasy the shambhavi is just aligning
these four so that this one the source of creation finds expression if the source of creation
within you the creator finds expression fixing your heart, liver or kidney you think it's a big
problem? manufacturer when he comes out and begins to function everything is fixed you will
see miraculously health will become okay I can show you thousands and thousands of people
who come out of there ailments just like that like a miracle is it a miracle anything that you don't
understand you will call it a miracle Isn't it? suppose you don't know what is electricity and I tell
you you just watch this and i am going to press that wall and this hall will be flooded with light
would you believe me? You won't believe me you will say no such things are not possible now if
I press it and suddenly there is light everywhere now you think either I am son of god messenger
of god or god himself depending upon which culture you come from isn't it? Anything that you
don't understand is a miracle in your understanding either there is no miracle in life everything
happens between cause and effect or everything is miracle. Isn't this life a miracle? You and me
sitting here on this round planet which is going at a tremendous speed is it not a miracle we
sitting here and talking all this nonsense is it not a miracle?
That joy is there now there is an a sense of appreciation in very small things and I think inner
engineering gave me the tools to come into my own life to look at life from the inside instead of
going from one meeting to the next meeting to meeting this person meeting that person always
running it just stands still and appreciate where you are...
My family sees in me as much happier they see that I don't react in a irritable manner like I used
to the same situation sometimes it could be some small things that would irritate me easily in
the past... now they just flow. After stressful day more often come home irritated and easily
irritable and people will be careful not to disturb me too much. Now they see me coming home
happy and they are happy to interact with me and they know that small things won't bother me
anymore. It makes home life a lot more pleasant.
I have two daughters they are eleven and six and I am a single parent so it is a busy life for me
and I am tired but I feel more ease. Rest of the us don't worry about our things going to all get
done I'm having the inner engineering changing helps me to remember that you know that
joyfulness that we have in our children and to be connected to my girls more...
With this top economy running a software company is extremely challenging and stressful and
so I was looking for tools in order to help me deal with a better. When I went to Inner
engineering I really didn't have that much expectations that because nothing I've tried as
worked I I've been a personal growth junkie for about six years. So, I decide to give it a try and I
took inner engineering about a year and a half ago and the results have been spectacular. I lost
forty pounds my cholesterol went from two hundred and ten to one forty nine and my blood
pressure was lot lower and my lifelong allergies have completely disappeared.













Inner Engineering for Wellbeing
Sadhguru speaks about our constant search for wellbeing:
The moment we are born as human beings somehow our lives got complicated. If we had come
here as any other creature on this planet life would be very simple eating, eating, sleeping,
reproducing and dying one day. Now we have to do all those things but after doing all those
things we find somehow it's not enough. Isn't it so...? Yes once you come as a human being
somehow all these are compulsory in many ways people have to do these things but these
process of survival even after they are complete somehow human being is still not complete he
wants to be something more than what he is right now. This longing is endlessly going on finding
expression in so many different ways but all the time human being is in pursuit of something
more than what he's right now. Somehow where you're right now where ever you maybe is not
enough you want to be a little more than what you are right now. Isn't it isn't it so... if you know
only money maybe you're thinking a little more money if you know only pleasure maybe a little
more pleasure if power little more power whatever it may be whatever your currency may be
but everybody is wanting to be a little more than what they are right now. The process of
desiring is continuously going on so this longing of wellbeing because ultimately everything that
you are doing is in search of your wellbeing whether you're going to work or you're going to the
bar or you going to the temple or you're getting married or you having children you're studying
in university everything is fundamentally your wellbeing isn't it so yes different people may have
different ideas about wellbeing somebody thinks if they can eat twice a day that's wellbeing but
for somebody else that's not wellbeing. Isn't it? our ideas of wellbeing maybe different but every
human being consciously or unconsciously constantly in search of his wellbeing isn't so ..

There is significantly more ease than the way I live my life today than I did before I still have the
exact same stresses the same difficult patients the same hectic schedules the same emergencies
that require working late into the night however I do that with far more joy than I have ever
done in fact my efficiency at work is far greater now than it is ever been and my stress levels
lower than that ever been

My energy levels and moods stays very consistent throughout the day and then what my
employees have told me because that's a better indicator they said that I am just much easier to
be around and I'm more inspiring leader because whenever there's a crisis I used to get all
agitated and excited and you know want to handle it you know full on now I'm just very calm
I've taken the data and then we make a decision together as a team and then we execute it
calmly and efficiently and it's had a dramatic change and in the success of our business not to
mention the happiness of our culture


Inner Engineering for Happiness
Sadhguru speaks about our desire for happiness.
So.. what is wellbeing? when do you really feel well in your life? when do you truly feel well..? when
you're really happy you are well! Even if you physically ill you're still well. Isn't it ? Even if you medically
diagnosed as ill, you are very happy right now you are feeling well. Isn't it? So fundamentally wellbeing
means a certain level of joyfulness certain exuberance of life. what is happiness? we can say happiness is
this that but in terms of life your life energies are happening in a more exuberant way then what it
normally happens. Depression means your life energies have become very low on state. Happiness
means you're life energies are exuberant. There are many ways of describing happiness but only those
who are happy know what it means to be happy. There is nobody who is not been happy everybody's
been happy but the problem is that they are not able to maintain it. That's all.... Isn't it? Everybody's
been happy in the last twenty four hours how many moments of joy have you know? one, two, three
how many? Maybe you can count on your fingers many people have nothing to count. when you are five
years of age as a child... how many moments of joy did you know in twenty four hours? Lots of them
isn't it somebody had to make you unhappy. Now somebody has to make you happy isn't it?

The whole equation is got reverse. somehow all this effort of life everything that you do did education,
career, business, family whatever you did everything was in pursuit of happiness. Isn't it so? Everything
that humanity has done on this planet is in pursuit of happiness isn't it so? In the last hundred years we
have done too much on this planet with the use of science and technology we have changed the very
face of this planet. Today we have the kind of comforts and conveniences that no other generation
could ever even imagine. Yes ? What royalty could not afford hundred years ago today average citizens
have isn't it so? aren't most of you driving chariots with hundred, two hundred horses? Yes! even Kings
could not afford this but are we any happier we are definitely the most comfortable generation ever on
this planet is it so physically? but are we also the most joyful generation? so it's not worked... Science
and technology has brought enormous amount of comfort and convenience to our lives things that we
could not imagine just twenty five years ago are just a living reality today isn't it? but are we any more
joyful? No... and all these kind of comforts and conveniences have not come easy they have come at a
tremendous cost to every other life on this planet. yes every creature from plant the animal to
everything including human beings have paid an enormous price to create this comforts and
conveniences and we are not even happy what is the point? We are literally making a bonfire of this
planet if you are ecstatic it's okay burn the planet it's alright we're not even happy I think it's time to
really look at it isn't it? why are we burning it up if you are not even happy...
That joy is there now there is an a sense of appreciation in very small things and I think inner
engineering gave me the tools to come into my own life to look at life from the inside instead of going
from one meeting to the next meeting to meeting this person meeting that person always running it just
sands still and appreciate where you are...

My family sees in me as much happier they see that I don't react in a irritable manner like I used to the
same situation sometimes it could be some small things that would irritate me easily in the past... now
they just flow. After stressful day more often come home irritated and easily irritable and people will be
careful not to disturb me too much. Now they see me coming home happy and they are happy to
interact with me and they know that small things won't bother me anymore. It makes home life a lot
more pleasant.

How Does the Inner Engineering Practice
Work?
Sadhguru speaks on the significance of practicing Shambhavi Mahamudra.

Do you see this body as we been going through this again and again through the same point
when it was born it was so small now it became this much definitely you didn't need any

happens between cause and effect or everything is miracle. Isn't this life a miracle? You and me
sitting here on this round planet which is going at a tremendous speed is it not a miracle we
sitting here and talking all this nonsense is it not a miracle?
So you should look at it... If you have eyes to see everything is a miracle or nothing is a miracle
these are two ways to approach life these are two forms of yoga one is to see everything as
sacred another is to see everything as utter non sense but now your problem is what you like is
sacred what you don't like is non-sense that's a problem that's a trap. Everything is sacred this is
a beautiful way to live everything is nonsense that is also very beautiful way to live. What these
people are sacred these people are non-sense this will destroy you.
Love & Relationships
SADHGURU JAGGI VASUDEV is a yogi, mystic and spiritual master with a difference. He founded Isha
Foundation, a non profit, non religious, public service organization which addresses all aspects of human
wellbeing.

From its powerful yoga programs for inner transformation to its inspiring projects for society and
environment, Isha activities are designed to create an inclusive culture that is the basis for global
harmony and progress. This approach has gained worldwide recognition and reflects in Isha
Foundation's special consultative status with the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) of the United
Nations.

What is Meditation?
Sadhguru: So generally we assume at least in India we say... when we say meditation we are
referring to Dhyan. What is Dhyan? Or let me use the word meditation because that's English.
When you say meditation, you need to understand this is not something that you can do
because, you can become meditative, you can become mediation. You can never do meditation.
It's a certain quality. If this quality has to blossom within you, if meditation has to blossom
within you, if you cultivate your body, if you cultivate your mind, your emotion and energy to a
certain level of preparedness, meditation will blossom within you.

If you do meditation... anything that you do, you can't keep it up, isn't it? Isn't it so? Suppose
right now your breath, are you doing it or is it happening? It's happening. Your life, are you
doing it or is it happening? It's happening. Suppose your breath or your life was given to your
hands to do it... let's say the breath. If you got angry with somebody you would forget to breath,
isn't it? Yes? Fortunately all the vital things are happening. You just have to sit here and enjoy
the process of life, for that what a mess people are making out of it. So when your breath
cannot be given to your hands, when your basic life cannot be given to your hands, meditation,
how can it be given to your hands?
But if you create a certain atmosphere, meditation will blossom. If there is spring in the soil, if
there is spring in the sunlight, if there is spring in the atmosphere around flowers will blossom,
isn't it? Flowers will not blossom because you sit there and peel them. So if you sit there and try
to meditate, it is not going to happen. If you create the necessary atmosphere in your body,
mind, emotion and energy, meditation has to blossom.

Meditation is not going somewhere, it's a homecoming. It's getting back to your original nature.
Instead of being on the surface you're going deeper into the core. It cannot be done. But you
can make it happen.
What is the Meaning of Life?

Sadhguru: Life is so enormous, that it has no meaning. If there was a meaning, the moment you
found the meaning, it would be over. But you can't finish off life like that. You write a million
books about it. Still, it is ever-expanding. So there is no meaning to life. Meaning very
rudimentary meas-- minds in the world are always trying to explain life off as this or that. You
can't explain it off. Because it contains you, it is you. Everything that you discover is just a small
aspect of it. Whatever meanings you give it to, whatever definitions you give it to, are just your
notions about it. Life is far beyond meaning. Life is beyond meaning. And that's why it's so
beautiful. [laughs]

No Fear in the Now
The fear is simply because you are not living with life. You are living in your mind. Your fear is
always about what's going to happen next. That means your fear is always about that which
does not exist. If your fear is about the nonexistent, your fear is 100% imaginary. If you are
suffering the non-existential, we call that insanity.
So, people may be in just socially accepted levels of insanity. But, if you're afraid, or if you are
suffering anything which does not exist, it amounts to insanity, isn't it? People are always
suffering, either what happened yesterday, or what may happen tomorrow. So your suffering is
always about that which does not exist. Simply because you are not rooted in reality. You are
always rooted in your mind. Mind is one part of it is memory, another part is imagination. Both
of them are in one way imagination. Because both of them don't exist right now.

You are lost in your imagination, that is the basis of your fear. If you are rooted in reality, there
would be no fear.






How can one find happiness?
Sadhguru talks about how every human being is capable of finding happiness within;
you don't have to pursue it in the world.
Every human being is capable of happiness within himself. You don't have to pursue it in
the world. But right now they have completely got this upside down and they think they
have to do something to pursue happiness. Happiness is something hanging out there. If
people were joyful by themselves they would be enormously productive they would
definitely live to their full potential if they were joyful by their own nature but not in
pursuit of happiness this being in pursuit of happiness has led people to be desperately
active not consciously active compulsively active

Break the cycle of stress
Sadhguru conducts special Inner Engineering programs in the US once or twice a year, please check for
the schedule.
Sadhguru explains about breaking the cycle of stress and Inner Engineering practices.

Jaideep
"For the last two years I have been working on a very high pressure program at my work placehigh
visibility, long hours, new territory in some ways. All the ingredients of a stressful job.But I felt the stress
very little, thanks to IE. And I could put in sustained long hours for two years without an issue. The kriya
energized me daily, my sleep quota has been reduced already, and the increased awareness of my

"Feel like you have to, "manage"
your stress? There is a way to live stress-free...We've tricked ourselves into
thinking stress is a natural part of life. In this video, Sadhguru breaks down
our ideas of stress and explains how we need to "manage" our minds in order to
live life pleasantly. If we pay a little attention to what's happening to our
system, the experience of stress can disappear."
