Sadghuru naming girls Cauvery is deep wisdom. Here in South Africa our forefathers have given us surnames and names of animals, birds, trees etc as a result you can't eat nor kill such cause you related to it. Nature was preseved for generations until colonisers came.

This has blown me away. Never before have I heard such well articulated reasoning for the value system that controls how we act. If you put the Amazon rainforest on a pedestal and respect it for what it is, and thank it, we wouldn’t be losing it by the minute. Quite incredible really. Beautifully simple. Thanks for this.

I worked with Sadhguru on that project in India for 9 months. Now the only thing I can think about is to plant trees and rejuvenate degraded land.

Thank you Andrew for your work. Ancient people of India had invested in building cultures into lives of people. From very birth to dealth every major moment is celebrated keeping SOIL and SOUL as utmost importance. Even wise people around the world have done it, but not to mass level as to touch million hearts like in India. Its time that World will look into LIFE as a miracle of HAPPENING rather than divide in the name of religion, regions, caste, creed, gender etc...

What an amazing wise man, I loved his statement about no matter how good an idea is, if it is mentioned by a person from one political party the other party will be against it, even if it could help so many people. It is one of many frustrating things about democracy and it drives me nuts when this happens. People who are in government usually have a very short-sighted view of things because they are only worried about the term they have in office not 20, 30, 40 or 50 years from now. So many people do vote for people nominated by a political party and because of historical family voting views that is how they vote regardless of who is running for office. I think what is being done in India by Isha Foundation and many others is amazing and as an Australian I wish our government would look at what is happening in India and the rest of the world where communities are working so hard to try and restore waterways, forests, grassland etc. Our rivers are dying, our topsoil is being lost due to the land being brought down to bare earth, we have so many years of drought, devastating bush fires and then when it does rain, we have massive floods that inundate thousands of homes every year, cause both stock and crop losses and then the water ends up in the Oceans, taking away more valuable topsoil. We don't look ahead enough to implement ways to catch more of the water for use long after the rains have gone, we don't plant enough trees in areas where soil erosion is cutting up the land, we constantly let land developers build huge housing projects in areas that have historically been flood plains and then when there are floods they are best are just cut off due to flooded roads and bridges or the entire development is under several meters under water. 100-year floods have happened at least 4 times since 2013 in my area alone, but we don't learn from them at all. I am trying to do my bit to heal my 2 acres it is a long and hard process but one that is very important to me.

That was so worth listening to!!! I have never heard "the way of things" explained this way and it feels like such a revelation to me. Thank you for asking the question and recording the answer. And thank you to Sadhguru for his eloquence and understanding.

I had a log/journal that my therapist recommended. Didn’t really have much change for 2 years, and monthly therapy. 3 years ago I came across Sadhguru and started doing the 3month, 1-2year, 10year meditation for success. I now have a pond, fig tree, garden, and 10x20 greenhouse. I see a therapist twice a year.

This was wonderful, Andrew! Sadhguru has shown us that what we call "Permaculture" is simply the most recent incarnation of a primordial wisdom that ALL indigenous peoples--and all our own ancestors as well--took for granted, and we are simply trying to resurrect that wisdom in a modern guise and disseminate it under a new name that people will embrace...Keep on keepin' on!

This man has already received great awards from the Indian government. Young Indians are integrating with his guidance a dynamic and futuristic way of thinking.

I am amazed by the thought that he was speaking in his secondary or tertiary language! And the message about democracy needs to be repeated to Americans until we understand it, again!

Much respect to you Andrew. Your an amazing man and I admire your devotion to ecological projects 💧🔥🌍💚☯️🙏

When People say India has too many gods that is what we mean.. If you can't respect nature then nature is doing its work.. They are god and godessess for us...

He is truly a wise man. It's comforting to hear somebody speak so intelligently about the most important things that make our lives.

Thank you Andrew for all the divine work you do in restoring the life enhancing forces of soil and water. All it takes is one lit candle to illuminate thousand lamps and you are that lit candle. Even if 5% of humans take inspiration from your work, we can turn this planet into a living temple of the divine! Also, thanks to Sadhguru and his commitment and eloquent support to your fantastic work.

Wonderfully presented and compiled Andrew.The Message is loud and clear at the same time so touching.Please continue the work that you are doing.Best wishes.

One of the most rational look on human nature I have heard. Thank you for asking the questions.

the crossover we didn't know we needed!

The basics of all survival, how difficult can it be? Seeing things for what they are. Without it we die . All of us.

this is one of the best speech by sadguru
