Each of India’s godmen has his own Unique Selling Proposition (USP): pulling watches out of thin air, hugging every disciple, comforting women, etc.
“Shutting up” people seems to be Jaggi Vasudev‘s.
On Facebook, rarely a day goes past when your newsfeed doesn’t show the Mysore-born motorcycle maama “shutting up” somebody or the other who has fallen for his PR charm and landed in his presence.

Obviously, in the hyper-competitive godmen market, each self-proclaimed swami needs to denote his power to potential clients and customers in his own way.
Is shutting people up noisily the path to peace and happiness advocated by JSV?
Jaggi does not run his websites or social media initiatives. But surely the bossman of Isha Foundation could instruct his bhakts to show some humility before common folk?
From one Mysorean to another: Happy Deepavali, bro’.
something that i was really considering last week!! confusing character he has…
Why SJV? We are all God’s guys, but remain ignorant because of too heavy ego baggage.
For many in TN, we value this sensible intelligent guru and grateful to establish his institution in this land of non-prejudicial citizens. Tamils do not have history of hating others, like …..
That always made me laugh.. I have noticed a huge arrogance in the followers of Sadhguru. They constantly criticize people, label them as idiots etc. If you read the comments on the Youtube Video of the debate between Javed Aktar and Sadhguru you will understand what I mean.. And also check out this answer: https://www.quora.com/Why-do-people-who-support-Sadhguru-Jaggi-Vasudev-disrespect-and-verbally-abuse-the-non-supporters-on-the-internet-You-can-see-this-in-YouTube-social-media-and-Quora-too-Are-Isha-programs-not-working-for-them/answer/Dennis-Jung-11?srid=hJCJi
For some reason, they also show an extreme emotional reaction towards any kind of negative criticism. Sometimes they forget what spirituality is all about. Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev should certainly advise people in not to indulge in such a hateful, reactive and judgmental behavior.
If you have little sense you won’t look at a title and come to a conclusion. Just see the video, if it makes sense that’s enough right. More than that SJV is not shutting up anybody to show his power, he is giving logical answer to their stupid questions, so naturally they are becoming quiet.
Of course, Sadhguru is not the usual guru one comes across, especially north of Vindhyas. Please watch and listen to each and every video, be it done here or abroad. There could be no second opinion about his wit and intelligence. If we can learn one millionth of his insight and understanding of the world, we won’t be hating and abusing each other.
I am neither a devotee nor big fan or follower of Sadhguru .However I have listened to some of his interviews including the media labelled ” Shut Up ” ones which have got you so agitated .Despite raising a lot of unsubstantiated allegations and circulating rumours about his past it is these very media channels who run to him for interviews.He speaks his mind out and doesn’t tolerate nonsensical comments against matters he believes in .Better so than being hypocritical .He doesn’t need any extra publicity it is the media channels who hanker around him for increasing their TRPs. Casting aspersions and labelling him a Godman derogatorily like some of the other crooked ones there have been police cases against is certainly not right.
Those titles are clearly given by people who upload the video. All of these that have clickbait titles are uploaded by people who feel that way about the conversation and NONE of these “shut up” titles come from the official video/twitter channel. Have you seen the videos? He does not speak rudely, he speaks firmly and gives a very logical answer. Most of the times, the other person is the one going off the handle, and his manner of making his point calmly is pretty impressive.
Confirmation bias much?
Hyper active people are hijacking the hindutva spirit. In sensitiveness is the order of the day.
even in Mysore after influx of certain people of region where the character of the people are not mild like Mysoreans, the overall mysorean is changing
Does anyone here have answers to the questions raised here regarding Sadhguru: https://sadhgurukilledhiswife.wordpress.com/
