Recently, Jaggi Vasudev, known as Sadhguru, has received serious allegations against his Isha Foundation. These allegations are associated with sexual exploitation and abuse of minor girls on the pretext of spiritual practices. These allegations have created a stir not only in India but the whole world. Based on the internal email and witnesses brought out by journalist Shyam Meera Singh, the matter raises serious questions on the image of Sadhguru and the practices of his ashram. Let us understand the full story of this dispute and its implications.

The dispute began when journalist Shyam Meera Singh made public the internal email discussion between Mother Pradyuta and Sadhguru, senior member of Isha Foundation. In these emails, the process of initiation of celibacy (practice) to minor girls is discussed. According to the email, the girls were asked to take off their upper clothes, about which Maa Pradyuta raised a serious objection.

Maa Pradyuta wrote in email that the girls were feeling uncomfortable with this process and their parents were not aware of it. He warned that if the matter becomes public, the ashram could have serious consequences. Despite this, Sadhguru replied to the email as “yes, both things approval”, which makes it clear that this practice continues.

Main characters: Bharti Varadharaj and mother Pradyuta

The role of two senior female members of Isha Foundation, Bharti Vardharaj and Maa Pradyuta are important in this dispute. Bharti is considered to be the closest ally of Sadhguru and has been a trustee of several institutions associated with the foundation. Maa Pradyuta has also acted as a trustee of Isha Education and has directly interacted with Sadhguru on sensitive matters.

Email suggests that both Bharti and Maa Pradyuta were aware of this process, but they did not take any concrete steps to protect minor girls. Maa Pradyuta expressed her concern by writing email to Sadhguru, but the practice continued even after that.

Legal aspect: Violation of POCSO Act

If these allegations are proved correct, it is a direct violation of India's 'Protection of Children from Sexual Offenses (POCSO) Act, 2012'. Under Section 11 of the POCSO Act, it is considered sexual abuse to ask a child to display his body. At the same time, according to Section 19, it is mandatory to inform the police about such cases.

Email shows that the Isha Foundation not only took care of reporting these incidents, but also continued these practices despite internal concerns. This raises serious questions on the role of accountability of the foundation and its leadership.

Old cases: history of exploitation

This is not the first time the Isha Foundation has been accused of sexual abuse. In September 2024, a doctor associated with the Foundation was arrested on charges of sexual abuse with 12 tribal girls. In addition, the parents of former employees and students of Isha Home School have also accused them of misbehaving and suppressing cases.

One such case is of Yamini Ragani, who is a former teacher of Isha Home School. He alleged that his minor son was made a victim of sexual abuse by another school student. However, the school management did not take any action in the matter and the accused student was given back into the school.

Isha Foundation replied: denial and threats

In response to these allegations, the Isha Foundation has denied any wrongdoing and described the email as “completely fake and false”. The Foundation has threatened legal action against those who make these emails public and described it as a conspiracy to defame the Sadhguru and the institution.

However, journalists have confirmed the authenticity of the email using Gmail's 'show original' feature, which proves that these emails were sent from the official accounts of the Isha Foundation. This questions the foundation's transparency and their desire to deal with the allegations.

A spiritual crisis

These allegations against Sadhguru and Isha Foundation create a spiritual crisis for millions of devotees, which consider him as their guru. As the investigation proceeds, it is necessary that the safety and justice of the victims be ensured.

So far, the matter is waiting for an in -depth investigation. If the allegations are proved correct, it will be a major setback for the Isha Foundation and its leadership. At the same time, if the allegations prove wrong, then it will be equally important to clear the name of the accused and to fix the loss caused by the controversy.
