Union Home Minister Amit Shah recently met two prominent spiritual leaders, Sadhguru and Swami Avdheshanand Giri. They discussed spirituality and its impact on society and National interests.
On Saturday, Union Home Minister Amit Shah had a productive meeting with Jaggi Vasudev, Sadhguru, the founder of Isha Foundation based in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu. The meeting focused on Indian spirituality and its transformative potential for societies.
Amit Shah shared his thoughts on the meeting via a tweet on the microblogging platform X, expressing his delight in meeting Sadhguru. He wrote, “Delighted to meet Shri @SadhguruJV Ji. Discussed Indian spirituality and its role in transforming societies.”
Sadhguru, known for his environmental advocacy, responded warmly to the Home Minister’s tweet. He expressed his pleasure in meeting Amit Shah and commended his engagement with India’s civilizational aspects. Sadhguru wrote, “Pleasure meeting Hon’ble Home Minister of Bharat. His engagement and interest in the civilizational aspects of our Nation is admirable.”
Sadhguru has long been an advocate for environmental sustainability. He has spearheaded initiatives such as Project GreenHands (PGH), Rally for Rivers, Cauvery Calling, and the global “Journey to Save Soil” campaign. His work aims to address critical environmental issues, particularly soil degradation.
