Our Moral Board · Public-source moral portrait
Sadhguru
A guarded editorial portrait of Jaggi Vasudev, focused on Moses’s experience of Shambhavi Mahamudra while retaining the limited evidence base, organizational controversies, environmental and financial allegations, court context, and criticism of pseudoscientific claims.
The influence concerns disciplined practice and perceived resilience, not spiritual authority. The record reinforces that charismatic teaching and large institutions require consent, evidence, safeguarding, financial transparency, environmental accountability, and room for dissent.
