EP - 115 |‼️ THE WAIT IS OVER | SADHGURU ON RAW TALKS | Telugu Podcast | Raw Talks With VK |

In this Telugu podcast episode with Jagadish Vasudev, popularly known as Sadhguru, an Indian spiritual leader and the founder of the Isha Foundation, headquartered in Coimbatore, India;  we explore the life, philosophy, influence, and contradictions surrounding Sadhguru, one of the most widely discussed spiritual figures of our time. From his formative years and the defining experience at Chamundi Hills to the scale and functioning of the Isha Foundation, this conversation attempts to understand the man beyond labels, opinions, and surface narratives.

The discussion moves through Sadhguru’s early life, his views on learning, intelligence, and enlightenment, and what he believes is the true potential of human beings. He speaks about the difference between knowing through belief and knowing through experience, and why explanation alone cannot replace inner clarity. The episode also touches upon how spirituality is often misunderstood, oversimplified, or reduced to ideology in the modern world.

Addressing controversies and criticism, Sadhguru responds to allegations, missing case narratives, land encroachment claims, and the resistance commonly faced by large spiritual institutions. He shares his perspective on why such challenges arise, how institutions like Isha function structurally, and the balance between expansion, responsibility, and transparency. We also discuss his recent brain surgery, how it altered his outlook temporarily, and the public debates he has engaged in within the digital and intellectual space, including exchanges with voices like Javed Akhtar.

The conversation further explores mental health and how the term is increasingly used as a label rather than understood as a deeper psychological condition. Sadhguru shares his views on emotional well-being, inner stability, and the difference between medical intervention and inner discipline. Topics such as spirituality versus religion, the Adiyogi statue controversy, spiritual tourism, civilizational symbols, and national recognition including the Padma Vibhushan are discussed in a broader cultural context.

If you’re looking for a conversation that doesn’t push conclusions but encourages reflection on life, consciousness, and how to live consciously in today’s world, this episode might be for you.
