Not to take away anything from your experience. Obviously Sadhguru and his teachings worked for you.

To me Sadhguru comes across as a person who made a good living for himself by telling others what they want to hear. As a person of science, I can't tolerate his 'scientific' theories which are downright wrong. This is person who said he can figure out if a food is spoiled by looking at the direction of rotation of a rudhraksha necklace held above it!

Your perspective is yours to chose.

I chose to see him as a great human being who inspires many people to do a lot of good for his country and the world. [1] Really, the state the world is in, the fact that he is really big on planting trees means I don’t care if he’s into Xenu - just keep planting those trees man! ;)

Jokes aside though, my perspective allowed me to benefit from his teaching and yours precludes you from doing so. Interesting, isn’t it?

As for “science”: the only thing I care about is what I know through direct experience. So I follow the simple rule of practicing something for 3 months without questioning and evaluating the results. If it works, I keep at it - so I’m keeping at it. I also recently took the opportunity to meet Sadhguru in person. This to me is better “science” than theoretical discussions.
