When Jaggi Vasudev’s daughter is married, why is he encouraging other women to be hermitesses, ask Madras HC judges

They raise the question during the hearing of a habeas corpus petition filed by a man claiming his two well-educated daughters had been “brainwashed” by Isha Foundation

When Jaggi Vasudev, alias Sadhguru, of Isha Foundation had got his daughter married and ensured she was well-settled in life, why was he encouraging other young women to tonsure their heads, renounce worldly life, and live like hermits at his yoga centres, asked Justices S.M. Subramaniam and V. Sivagnanam of the Madras High Court on Monday (September 30, 2024).

The judges raised the question during the hearing of a habeas corpus petition (HCP) filed by S. Kamaraj, 69, a retied professor of the Tamil Nadu Agricultural University in Coimbatore. The petitioner had claimed that two of his well-educated daughters, aged 42 and 39 years, respectively, had been “brainwashed” to reside at the Isha Yoga Centre permanently.

Both the alleged detainees, however, appeared before the Division Bench on Monday, making it clear they were residing at the yoga centre in the Vellinagiri foothills in Coimbatore on their own volition, and that no one had detained them against their will.

 

Nevertheless, after interacting with them for a while, the judges decided to probe the issue further.

Surprised by their decision, advocate K. Rajendra Kumar, representing Isha Foundation, said the court could not expand the scope of the case. However, Justice Subramaniam replied that the court, exercising the writ jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution, was expected to do complete justice, and that it was necessary to get to the bottom of the case.

The judge also told the lawyer that the court had certain doubts regarding the case. When the advocate wanted to know what they were, Justice Sivagnanam stated: “We want to know why a person who had given his daughter in marriage and made her settle well in life is encouraging the daughters of others to tonsure their heads and live the life of a hermitess. That is the doubt.”

When the advocate replied that an adult was free to choose their own paths in life and that he could not really understand the court’s doubt, Justice Subramaniam said: “You will not understand because you are appearing for a particular party. But this court is neither for or against anybody. We only want to do justice to the litigants before us.”

When the petitioner’s daughters intervened and sought to make their submissions, the senior judge in the Bench said: “You claim to be on the path of spirituality. Don’t you think that neglecting your parents is a sin? ‘Love all and hate none’ is the principle of devotion but we could see so much of hatred in you for your parents. You are not even addressing them respectfully.”

On being told by the petitioner’s counsel M. Purushothaman that there were multiple criminal cases involving Isha Foundation and that even recently, a doctor serving there had been booked under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act of 2012, the judges directed Additional Public Prosecutor E. Raj Thilak to file a status report by October 4, listing out all the cases related to the foundation.

In his affidavit, the petitioner said his elder daughter had obtained her engineering degree in mechatronics in 2003 and thereafter pursued her M.Tech degree from a popular university in the United Kingdom. She got employed in the same university and was drawing around ₹1 lakh a month in 2004. She was married to a man based in the United States in 2007 but they got divorced in 2008.

Since then, she began attending yoga classes at Isha Foundation. Following in her footsteps, the petitioner’s younger daughter, a software engineer, began residing at the yoga centre permanently, the petitioner said. He said that life had been “hell” for him and his 63-year-old wife ever since their daughters “abandoned” them.

He alleged that some kind of food and medicine was being administered to his daughters at the yoga centre, which made them lose their cognitive faculties.

150 Police Officers Search Sadhguru’s Isha Foundation

 

A petition filed by the father of two women who have been living at the foundation led to the court order for a search at Sadhguru’s Isha foundation.

A battalion of 150 police officers launched a search operation at Isha Foundation’s ashram in Thondamuthur. Earlier the Madras High Court sought a report on all criminal cases registered aganst the foundation.

 

The Isha Yoga Centre responded to the search operation in a statement saying, ‘As per the court order, the police, including the SP, have come to the Isha Yoga Center for a general inquiry. They are inquiring with residents and volunteers, understanding the lifestyle, understanding how they come in and stay, etc,’.

A retired professor Dr S Kamaraj filed a complaint claiming that his two daughters Geetha Kamaraj (42) and Latha Kamaraj (39) were being held captive at the foundation in Coimbatore. He alleged that the Isha Foundation was brainwashing individuals and converting them into monks. He lso alleged that their contact with families is retricted. The two daughters of the professor were present in court and submitted that they were staying at the center of their own volition and denied the compulsion or detention.

The court questioned the founder godman Jaggi Vasudev on why Jaggi is encouraging other young women to shave their heads and live as hermits at his yoga centres while his own daughter is married and well-settled.

Everything is a business. No question about it. Every human tries to be a superior on others. He is at least trying to spread the way of Indian lifestyle in western world. 
 

Terrorists forcefully convert you into their religion. With Sadhguru, you approach him by your choice. Rest is all your choice whether to accept that or not.

If terrorists forecefully converted all  the pakistanis are terrorists by now . iran is so rich why it is promoting terrorism ?? idealogy matters , snake venom kill a healthy human in 1 hour .. peers from these asramam pull the one depressed , needy and left alone .i would say its chain effect , i dont say terrorists and asramam candaites are one and the same but i ssay ideaology is similar .. straight Q where is he getting money from ?? india is 140 B population 1/6th of the world , y he need to attarct foreigners , he has enogh job to do in india itself if he has no financial motto .. think deep brother , i dont see a difference between brother anil who promotes people to convert christianity and this jaggu vasudev !!! personal interests in the name of GOD , have u even seen a kanchi pettam doing these kind of jobs ?? Hindusim says one should obey karma , if u r facing it now , u have done it wrong in the past .. correct urself is the message ..idealogy should be defined in oneself but cannot be forcefully influenced when people are in dpressed state

@kurnool NTR , never follow western , India would fail if we adapt western idealogies..including economics .. Modi said that INDIA will supply services and will solve her own problems according to the peoples needs .. and hence u r seeing y tejas , Drdo succesful. Phonepay google pay , technology .. 

 

India is solving her own problems ...we dont need westernasiation in our country , in 20 years India will be Viswa Guru !! 

 

babas ,swamijis , i think should solve 140B needs of the people  with our own vedas and culture but not by imitating transalating church idealogies on the name of  hinduism ..

 

On the broader context , i will say what I believe to Hindus here ,

 

U cannot find a better Guru than Lord Shiva..

U cannot find a better mother than Goddess Durga

u cannot find a better teacher than Lord Vishnu .. 

 

Vishnu punishes for ur sin , Durga take care of your well being , Shiva preaches You with wisdom .. every person has all these in ones inner self.. all that u need is to find them , FInd the deity in yourself.... karma will find its own way , You are the true medicine for ur thoughts and ur healings ..!!!  long story short kastam vasthe talupulu mususei amma vari dagara kurchoni ne kastau chepukoo , sanivaram venkateswara swamy dagaraki eli tappu kshaminchamani adugu , shividu dagaraki eli buddi gananm ivamanu adugu.. lakshmi saraswati vale anugrahistaru..u do not need to ask all your wishes to fullfil from GOD..

People have known this for a long time. This is Brahmanical way of worshipping gods and seeing life. This is just one way of living. Human life can be dealt in many other ways.
 

Don’t want to hurt your beliefs and feelings but a human can get answers and live happily even without doing all these.
