I was introduced to Sadhguru by my husband who showed me a video of him on YouTube more than five years ago. Since, my interest revolves around psycho-spirituality, among others, I became impressed with the way he erases the dichotomy between spirituality and science. He knows so much. Not the kind of knowledge that is heavy or burdening, like the yoke of an oxen. Or, that kind that makes your brain explode. His knowledge frees because it does not come from the kind of knowledge that the world understands it to be. His knowledge is quality, not quantity. His knowledge is energy not rote memory or stored up facts (though it's obvious that reads a lot). At least, that's how I perceive it to be.
In the years that came after that first encounter, I would bump into Sadhguru once in while, in one way or the other. I'd listen to his talks and all. My interest in him increased all the more when he spoke of "Inner Engineering" and when his book came out in 2016. It was also my husband who got me the book along with "Mystics and Mistakes". It is good to mention that my husband is not at all interested in spirituality, but it it is through him that I got to know Sadhguru and to get these books. Life moves in unexpected ways.
Why the attraction to Sadhguru? Those who know me wouldn't be surprised. At any rate, I found Inner Engineering most interestingly practical and other one, whimsically enlightening.
When Sadhguru was preparing for the Maha Shivaratri 2018 and I saw last year's event in 2018 promo vids, an event that didn't cross my path, I got swept off my feet by the song Adiyogi composed by Kailash Kher and written by Prasoon Joshi. The power of music! Things took a serious turn. It was sort of like I was a piece of paper, helplessly sucked in by a vacuum cleaner. Vacuum... isn't that interesting? The whole experience was utterly beyond words. As I listened to this song, images would subtly appear and fade away. One time, my mind took me to Sadhguru's rock at Chamundi Hill. First, I googled images to see "The Spot" because I have not seen the place, not once, in picture or in real. Because of this inner experience, I've been moved to create this page and I titled it as such.
Indeed, in all of us, we have that special spot where we can transcend time and space and from where we connect to all animate or inanimate things. Sadhguru's spot at Chamundi Hill can be found within us all. And most certainly, he invites us to sit there in union with him and from there expand ourselves far and wide, encompassing and loving all that there IS.
