Sadhguru, 67, recalls what led to his second brain surgery: ‘Doctors thought they lost me because organ failure started happening'
Spiritual guru and founder of the Isha Foundation, Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev, who underwent an emergency brain surgery in Delhi in March 2024 after massive swelling and bleeding in his brain, recently opened up about the cause behind it. In a video titled 'Sadhguru's Second Brain Surgery – Undisclosed Details' on his Instagram, he recollected, 'My daughter and I were swimming in the pool. I had fixed a program in Bali and Cambodia. A plastic wrap on my wound and swimming a little bit because I need it. I needed exercise. After that, I just came up and sat on a chair. A big monkey came and wanted to go inside because there were lots of fruits inside. So, my daughter instinctively screamed at the monkey, and the monkey turned around, coming with its mouth open. Since I have seen monkey bite injuries, and it was coming towards her, I instinctively got up..I had my walking stick inside. I ran for the stick inside. Somebody had closed the door. I went and banged full speed into the glass. The glass made such a big bang that the monkey ran away. So the purpose was served, but my head was cracked.' According to the Isha Foundation, Sadhguru was examined by Dr Vinit Suri, a senior consultant neurologist at Apollo Hospitals, and was advised to undergo an MRI, where 'massive bleeding' in his brain was detected. The hospital statement said that the MRI showed the bleeding was 'outside the brain and below the bone'. 'There was massive two-time bleeding,' it added. While Sadhguru initially 'thought immediately I'll fly to Delhi for another emergency surgery because they had said that if you hit your head, this is it', he decided to wait it out to see if any symptoms started to appear. 'Then I thought I would wait till that night and see if there are any symptoms. Immediately, imbalance will happen or pain will that…The next morning, I woke up…I was fine. The next three days of the program I went through, and then I flew to Coimbatore city. From the airport, I went straight to a scan. Once again, bleeding. Then I went for another surgery,' Sadhguru said. While that surgery went well with 'no problems', on the 'third day after the surgery, every cell in the body went through a storm'. 'This happens only if you have sepsis or some other kind of serious infection. I had no infection of any kind, so doctors could not make out what happened. Three days later, I open my eyes and see 14 doctors are standing there, including the chairperson of the hospital, all tears in their eyes. They think they lost me because all organ failure started happening,' recalled Sadhguru, 67. A post shared by Sadhguru (@sadhguru) He also said that it was tough for the hospital staff during those six hours before he started responding again. 'I looked at them and then looking at their faces…I knew…they thought of giving up on me…When I closed my eyes…I could see every cell in the body…like I am seeping away…So, I closed my eyes and I became a lot more conscious. And I kept myself like that. And in about an hour and a half, I turned around. So, when I came out of hours they were in very difficult situation with me…that took some time to recover. But within two months, I was on the motorcycle.' Reflecting on this, Dr Aniruddha Vasant More, a consultant neurologist at Jupiter Hospital, Thane, said that what Sadhguru described sounds like a rare but serious post-surgical complication. 'Even if surgery goes well, the body can react unexpectedly later. One possibility is systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), where the body goes into overdrive, reacting as if there were a massive infection, even when there isn't. Another possibility is a delayed brain injury or bleeding that might not be immediately visible. Sometimes, a head injury, even if it looks minor at first, can trigger a series of issues in the body's systems,' contended Dr More. If inflammation or pressure affects the brainstem or other critical areas, it can lead to widespread organ failure, as described by Dr More. How dangerous is this kind of situation? 'Extremely', remarked Dr More. 'When someone experiences multi-organ failure, as Sadhguru did, the body is in crisis. The brain, kidneys, liver, and lungs all begin to shut down. Without strong critical care, this can be fatal. The fact that he regained consciousness and stabilised is remarkable. It suggests that while the situation was dangerous, his overall health, resilience, and timely medical care played a significant role in his recovery,' said Dr More. What to note? Don't ignore head injuries. 'Even if you feel okay, get checked. Symptoms like dizziness, confusion, nausea, or loss of balance, especially after a fall or trauma are warning signs,' said Dr More. The body does not always follow a predictable pattern. 'Complications can emerge days later. Pay attention to your body and don't dismiss unusual symptoms,' said Dr More. Recovery is possible. 'Early intervention, good post-operative care, and overall health can make a big difference even in life-threatening cases,' said Dr More.

Delhi HC passes order protecting personality rights of Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev
The Delhi High Court has passed an order protecting the personality rights, and publicity rights of Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev, founder of Isha Foundation, and restrained various rogue websites from misusing his personality traits by deploying Artificial Intelligence (AI). The court passed the interim order in favour of Mr. Vasudev in his suit seeking protection for his personality rights from infringement by rogue websites and unknown entities. It said Mr. Vasudev had acquired uniqueness in his personality in relation to his voice, name, signature, image, likeness, vocal, articulation style, and his unique attire, looks or appearance. The court said the objectionable content was not only abusing Mr. Vasudev's personality rights, the defendants had gone a step further and employed modern day technology to modify his images, voice, likeness, and videos for commercial gains. 'If allowed to continue in the manner, it will soon spread like a pandemic with wide, uncontrollable repercussions, especially since it is a social media platform(s) herein happen to be the internet portal(s). If not stopped, the chances that (the wrong) message will spread like wildfire with hardly any water left to douse it,' the court said. The court ordered the suspension of accounts and the takedown of YouTube channels that exclusively pertained to content infringing upon Mr. Vasudev's personality rights, and directed that their basic subscriber information be disclosed. The court directed the Department of Telecommunications, and the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, to issue notifications or directions to social media platforms to block or suspend various websites, social media accounts, and channels infringing Mr. Vasudev's exclusive rights. It said that with the immense degree of freedom enjoyed by developers and innovators globally now, especially those intellectual property rightsholders such as Mr. Vasudev, were prone to or may be exposed to or vulnerable to the actions of the 'rogue websites', and more so if such rightsholders were not accorded proper protection from them. 'This so-called dangerous edge has become even sharper with the fast-paced evolution of certain 'hydra-headed' websites, which, even if blocked/ deleted, have the incredible potential to resurface in multitudes as alphanumeric or mirror websites with only minor, mechanical changes,' the court said. 'Such 'hydra-headed' websites, under the garb of privacy, are able to mask their registration/contact details perfectly, making it virtually impossible to locate and contact their operators to, if necessary, demand cessation of infringing contents,' the court said in its May 30 order.
