Leave sadhguru alone man, your hate has become boundless towards sadhguru, maybe you are suffering in your life so you get relief by hating sadhguru who seems to be joyful than you , do inner engineering without a scientific mind but focused I promise it will enhance your life beyond body and mind 🙏
🔎Breakdown these sadhguru video also 1) About medicine 💊 he talk about. 2) His eclipse ☀️ & rudraksha clock anti clock theory. 3) water 💧theory. (Drink 💧 in +ve way) In more scientific+your scientific opinion way
try that course with scientific approach and give us review on it and on meditation as well...if not i would assume it's all just Sadhguru bashing to please and trigger some people....
Its nice to see people like sadhguru having to create datas and studies to support his hocus pocus stuff. It just shows that they are under pressure of people scrutinizing them with logical reasoning. Its a great change in our society. More and more people are seeing stuff through inquiry.
Your videos are really getting better, impressed and learnt a lot from it. I just request you to make a video on astrology in the way you're doing now. Watched your old video on astrology but it was a bit too lengthy and maybe not very accessible. Hoping to see that soon 💟
@@ShikharAasal All belief systems eventually become as rigid as religions. "Hail rationality" perfectly encapsulates the petty fascism of close-minded ideologues masquerading as people of science
"Hail rationality" Ironic, because it doesn't sound very rational. What you should say is always think rationally or that rationality is da best. Don't 'hail ' anything, accept only the truth.
Once again, a systematic and truly scientific analysis of a marketing claim... too bad much of the populace cannot differentiate between marketing gimmicks and scientific data. Keep up the good and unbiased work, Pranav
This is why scientific study is so important. Religions and practices (like yoga) make plenty of assertions (especially related to increased wellbeing or even enlightenment), but unless we can provide evidence that they are actually good for the body/mind complex (in a measurable way), it's pointless wasting years on such practices. Unfortunately, most studies in this space are typically done by people who are already convinced the yogic practices are good for you. That is not how science should be done. P.s.: I'm not asserting yogic practices aren't good for us, just that scientific evidence (gathered using proper scientific method) should trump any assertions made by people peddling these practices.
@@rahulgoswami3691 I think it's better to say "we don't know", as nobody has really carried out any meaningful scientific experiments to confirm how effective (or ineffective) it is.
This is great work Pranav. Love the way of presentation without hurting the adverse party personally. Its not about Jaggi bai but the fake statements , propoganda and false claims for business, wrapping science around it.
It's easy to criticize without experiencing at first even I also had the same opinion but later on after experiencing them for more than once I shut my mouth. Why don't you do all those programs genuinely and then make a comment on this guy science a dope(RUclipsr)
U just gave me a recap of my clinical psychology thesis and project. Love your channel. You are doing a great service by not only calling out pseudoscience but also you are giving improvement advices for free.
"We conduct research to determine the potential factors that affect our study, that's why we need meters to assist our study." This is what I have learned. Well done brother pranav. I have never thought engineering background fellow can make videos on medicine related topics. Keep doing these kind of works !!!
I really understand the amount of time and efforts you put in actually going through that research and make these life saving videos. Suported on UPI with rs 99. In future I will go for bigger support as I am just a student lol Besides, unlike your old videos, your speech is getting so refined that doesn't sound harsh for anyone and just seems a voice for pure logic !!
@@YetAnotherOrdinaryGuy you dont need to personally try out everything to know about them. Previous and on-going observations and studies will suffice. For eg. You dont need to try jumping off the building without protection to know that you will die. Similarly you dont have to personally indulge in blind faith to know that it can make to believe any kind of horrible and dangerous bs. We already have lot of examples of people behaved because of blind faith.
@@vishwakumar2864 By your twisted argument, millions of people who have done Sadhguru's Inner Engineering program are suffering a fate worse than cancer. BTW, When was the last time you used your brain?
This is amazing. This shows how actually real research is conducted. I would probably call it one of the most extensively researched video of yours. This is exactly how debunking should happen. I wish I had a research methodology teacher like you. More power to science and Science is surely dope! 😍
U wasted money sorry India was a dharma bhumii and it will always be u atheist people keep dreaming and dreaming and dreaming ....... On own logcal theory Until u die so advance happy death, on the day of death u will understand u all r dumb as always
As a mbbs i want to clarify different people have different body physiology so results are always variable for different individuals but still endocannabinoids are increasing, can’t u see that???
Brother one thing I have found out in my life was this. Radical scepticism is needed to find out the truth. But if you use scepticism to not get involved in something, you have died a little bit, you have denied an opportunity to explore, by forming a preconceived opinion. If you really want to find out what Sadhguru and Isha is all about, go to Isha Yoga Center, do some programs, remain 100% sceptical throughout. Then you will have made good use of your intellect. If you use your intellect to remain in your bubble of comfort and defend it by judging everything negatively that threatens it, you can never ever grow. Because something makes logical sense, doesn't mean it's true. You can come up with a perfectly logical argument for anything. Only your own experiece can tell you if something is really true or not. Scepticism is a filter for experience, but can't replace experience as a means to explore new ground. Best wishes to you.
Did jaggi sell you weed too?? Wtf are the smoking? He is exposing jaggus "science" and you're crying over it. Grow a pair and face the reality cadharmod
The comment I'm looking for. Don't feel the need to say much ,but there's two sides of a coin and we'll never know what lies on the other side untill we see or experience it.
A better control group would be one in the peaceful semi rural environments vs one in urban environments. Both the groups receive the full course but one in rural Tennessee vs. one in Urban New York. Usually, everything seems fine and dandy at the Ashram. It is about being high functioning adults even in extreme stress. I am not even saying keep the 2nd control group in places like Delhi, Shanghai, Hong Kong, or Tokyo, just a moderately stressful place like New York. Heck, i would have another test. Say both study groups in New York one received the course, and the other did not and periodically follow them for 1 month 3 and 12 and measure their bio markers.
This is an excellent video about the peer reviewing process and assessment of the methodologies to distinguish between reliable and non-reliable study. I support such efforts and the content ❤.
A nicely done critical walk through that should serve to illustrate it for many not used to reading papers. This is also a great way to engage apart from debunking as it is actually instructive to do it this way.
Absolutely amazing content! I am speechless! This whole critical thinking series has been amazing. The criticism has evolved so much and now you have also added tools for people to empower themselves to identify reliable studies. Thanks a lot for the great content!
I really like your videos. In a certain period i really totaly dived into this sadhguru universe and did the practices, visited the ashram, read his books. Now I only continued doing one practice and that a little half heartedly. I must say that I still don't think they take a lot of money for their courses and there are no attachments which put pressure on you. People leave you alone and you can involve however much you want without anyone commenting on it. Not the typical "cult" environment. I still feel like I got into all this while being in a crisis and now that i figured a new way of managing myself and additionaly started studying a scientific subject. I am becoming more ciritcal in my thinking and try to reevaluate this whole thing. Back when i listened to all his advice and followed it, did my yoga, took care of my diet the way he says, i really must say I had times of great feelings of depth and joy. However I really can't ignore all the arguments of yours and remember how i had many logical conflicts with what he was saying before, but just had the trial and error approach, so I kind of put my conflicts aside. I am really interested in mental health and health in general, due to struggling with it myself and seeing many people struggling with it. This is a core interest why I and many others follow people like sadhguru I think. The search for wellbeing. So maybe that is a question which you could try to start covering as well. Would be interested what you think about that. Greetings Aaron
Love what you've done here! This is exactly the kind of content India needs to come back up. We need to showcase ourselves as being better than a country of scammers and snake-charmers. The educated lot should come forward and speak up against all the shit that's going on, speak truth to the corrupt powers. Only then can we move forward as a people and overcome our social evils for real.
Born in India but live in the West. Was scammed by Indians on WhatsApp and many of my white friends alled India a country of scammers. But now the Indians are being scammed by other Asians and Africans. These fake sadhgurus must dig a hole and jump in it. Just money printing fakers
Why the hell to showcase to others? And that too all other countries outside? Have you ever listened to what great people/ achievers/philosophers have said about life ? Have you ever imagined yourself? You are already an example of current education and science you want others to appreciate you then you will think you are right.
@@blaze635 Showcase to others because it will help us eventually. If India has a great image in front of other countries it will help our country. Our country's image can make significant impact on geopolitics, tourism, investment etc. We can't live our entire life listening to philosophy. Money, power, good image etc are very much needed. Though we need to draw a line, seeking validation everytime, wont help.
If anyone was wondering, the prices of these programs is not directly available on their website, but from other sources online, the price in Tennessee is ~$6500 and in India it is ~₹3000-4000. So if you were wondering what motivation Isha/sadhguru had for publishing this paper with bad science, this might be one of them.
My experience on Shambhai meditation for a long time says different. I would suggest please do for Inner Engineering, Shoonya and Samayama progams by Sadhguru. And do the same analysis. Your analysis is seemingly logically, which can be counter. I know at least 25+ people who are doing this Shambhabhi mahamudra for more more than 3 years people. You will see more comments who also know more people with positive effect.
@Jeman Kumar "It's something that puny humans like us will never understand." =================== I am a 'puny' human, and I understand it very well-it is mumbo-jumbo word play that is used to enthrall persons who refuse to switch their critical thinking skills on.

@Kumar Narayana "A little learning [...] fatal with arrogance !" ================ True... Very true. The only problem is that in the case of Jaggi, his little learning becomes fatal for others.
hey man really appreciate the work you put into these videos, you're doing something that i always wanted to do on youtube. Happy to see a science believer
Shamvabi helped me miraculously recover from hypertension, anxiety, and depression. I have seen multiple people who have changed their lives amazingly after going through Isha's programmes, and I have seen people ignoring their practises and getting nothing out of it. I have seen both sides. What I understood was that, just like any educational institution, different kinds of students have different levels of focus and dedication to the work they are putting in, and the result is directly proportional to the effort they put in. In the same way, there are people going through this who are experiencing immense improvement in their lives, and there are others who just stay the same. You cannot conclude anything here, really. I, being an atheist, got myself out of a mental phase where I had to consult a psychriatrist, but I chose to go to the Inner Engineering programme because of its practice, which takes 20 minutes a day. I even couldn't believe this was possible. But it is for those who put in the effort.
Thats your story. Unless i get a scientific trial and research baking this (sample size>10000, divided in two or more control group, demographics spread equally in control groups) I am not going to waste my time and money.
@@sa_ra2496 Don't go by my words, you need to see it to believe it. If you take everything as placebo, someone might claim anxiety and depression in the same way, and the whole section of society will go crazy over it. You can argue whatever you want, but you don't need to believe anything on the internet just like that. Science has come a long way in discovering and understanding many things about our world, but there are still some things that it has yet to prove or fully comprehend. As humans, we often have a tendency to dismiss things that we cannot see or prove. However, it's important to keep an open mind and not disregard something just because it hasn't been scientifically proven yet. For example, the idea of placebo effects is something that has been debated for years. While some may argue that it's simply a psychological phenomenon, others believe that there is a deeper, unexplainable power at play. It's important to recognize that just because something cannot be explained or proven by science at this point in time, doesn't mean it's not real. Quantum mechanics and genetics are two areas of science that have seen incredible advancements in the past century. However, prior to this time period, humans had no idea about the theories behind these subjects. It's important to keep in mind that there may be many other phenomena or concepts that we have yet to discover or understand. Just because science hasn't discovered or proven something yet, doesn't mean it's not worth considering. It's important to keep an open mind and continue to explore and question the world around us. Who knows what discoveries we may make in the future that will shed light on things we previously didn't understand or thought were impossible.
This video was easy to understand and greatly informative , could you do these kind of videos series where we can see more research paper being examined ,good and bad, as many more from many many conglomorates which publishes their researches like this in food and health products to lobby their own products.
I have friends who has not intrested in engineering but intrested in pesudo science called inner engineering, and they dont have respect for science engeenering degree but defending inner engneering by psudo science😅 (when i told this all of them angry, but i dont care)
If you really want to do justice to your analysis, please do the Inner Engineering prograam, Shoonya and Samayama progam. I was skeptic initially but did not conclude without doing it hands on. It was the brs descision for me to do Sadhgurus program. Its not without reasons he has so many followers.
I am no fan of sandhguru. Just pointing out some things from video. One red flag just for mentioning unit of measurement does not look fair.also I think you have included two red flags for conflict of interest. Not having control group is the strongest argument. I agree 100% with that.
Dear Pranav, Firstly, kudos for making such a beautiful video on the topic. Sadhguru's videos helped me a lot during the hard times that I had during the pandemic. I never used to question any of his claims until I started watching your channel and I'm so glad that I have. Afterwards, I was able to listen to Sadhguru in a whole different light which I have to admit did shatter a lot of my belief systems at the time. Born and brought up in a Hindu family in Kerala, religion always played a big factor in my life which eventually attracted me to the domain of spiritual practices. A few months after discovering your channel I finally decided to try Inner Engineering for myself since I was facing some personal issues which could be solved by the program. As I'm writing this comment, I have to admit that I definitely have felt a change in my life after Inner Engineering. Doing the meditation once a day eventually helped me solve the biggest issue that I had faced in my life - sleep. I have tried the advice of healthcare professionals, I have tried going to sleep surrounded by two or three alarms but was never able to wake up listening to the alarms I set. If anything my mother would come busting my room door from downstairs hearing my alarm ring. But after practising Shambhavi I have been able to get up listening to the alarm that I set on my phone. I should also note that I have been able to wake up in this manner when I used to practice Surya Namaskar a few years back. Another effect that I would like to add would be my emotions. I, like many other kids of my age, grew up seeing and sometimes being the dark side of human society. I have been the bully at one point and have been bullied during another point in time. It was a very difficult time and I remember crying a lot. I usually connect it to those events, but unlike seeing fictional characters experiencing a difficult childhood, it was very difficult for me to experience sadness. I couldn't get sad when I mentally know that I should be very sad at that moment. It was very difficult for me to cry, which is very uncomfortable when you add it to this blocked-sadness sort of situation. These days, I end up crying for the silliest reasons. I went to a temple last week and I couldn't stop crying looking at the vigraham inside the sanctum. I end up crying seeing someone standing on the street with a gloomy face. I don't know how to explain these experiences that I am having. Finally, I would also like to add that there is an ever-present calmness and peace within me these days. I do miss the practices on some days, but it still doesn't change my newfound calmness. Indian Mysticism has always been a wonder for me. Why are there repeated mentions of "prana" and chakras throughout the literatures even when there is not a trace of anything remotely similar that we can observe physically in the human body? Why do our emotions and consciousness change just by practicing yogasanas? A large part of it is very difficult to be explained using the tools of physical science that we possess. But I believe that does not mean all is false. To say so would be to shun the lives of the people like Adi Sankaracharya, Swami Vivekananda, and Shri Ramana Maharshi who lived and passed in very recent history. I do understand that I am making an extraordinary claim here, but my belief is that the world that we live in is not entirely physical and therefore cannot be entirely explained using physical science. I believe there exist other parts to life than what we can perceive. I obviously don't have a proof to back this up and it can be very easily deflected. I think I would love to hear your thoughts on the topic someday over a cup of coffee, haha. Having been positively affected by Shambhavi, I thought I should leave a comment about it over here. Even if it's not the teachings of Sadhguru, I strongly advocate that everyone should practice some sort of meditation in their daily life as it really helps. Again, more power to you Pranav. Your work definitely helps people develop the ever-needed scientific and critical thinking skills. Have a good one.
Thats your story, Ok. Do you have access to other 1000 unbiased, randomized people, carefully divided in control group such that one with meditation program have high biomarkers than the ones without meditation program?
I know at least 50 people who have had similiar benefits. And if you go online on their site they give you a live experience sharing feed from new participants which are dozens in a couple of hours.
@@rishavacharya266 -50?! Not very much even to form a single control group. -Their online site? Not a great source considering how shady the business is.
@@rishavacharya266 Didn't even you watch the video? We need two or more control groups to observe any significant effect of yoga or meditation. Ex: say we divide the so called inner engineering program into two groups, one with meditation session and other without to find out if there is any significant effect. Clearly website of a shady meditation business is not a great source and survey is very least effective of all research practices as it has many variables.
@@AnalystSarvesh ahaha sir you don’t even know how isha programs are structured they offer a tools which you imply in a everyday life that’s where the transformation happens 🙏please try it& see for yourself rather than gossiping here & passing a false judgement
Loved the depth of your research on this one. It's incredible how he and his team, now, aren't even trying to hide the fact that they're pretending to use "science" just for the sake of it.
Sir you are doing amazing work I request you to make video on debunking claim that schrodinger, hisenberg, Oppenheimer developed / stole principal of quantum dynamics from our vedas I know it true that schrodinger used to admire vedanta philosophy but it not possible he derived eqn from those scripture Whenever i tried to argue any friend against anything written in vedas, he contradicts me by giving authority of these scientists Even one of my friend doing BSC in physics trying to find grand unified theory of quantum gravity in vedas
@@pauldirc..some famous scientists explain or quote (Indian old scripture, vedas, gita) on other sence. Yes there may be some lines(scripture) which can help you to think in another way. But there is no relation between their (scientists )theory and the scripture of hinduism. Nowadays students and people are manipulated and think that all science comes from vedas . So they are trying to justify scriptures as scientific books.
17:37 you also need a third group with meditation but no program (no hikes, no nature walks, no diet control) - i.e. people doing the Shambhavi Mudra in their daily lives at home. This will be useful if it so happens the Shambhavi Mudra is actually effective - it will show up in the results on a normal day in your life. All groups must have subgroups of people who have A. never done the practice, B. just started the practice in the past few weeks and C. have been doing the practice for a long time. Having designed the study as such with 9 sets of subgroups, we must also measure and compare the effects on all these 9 subgroups. Further variation and sub-grouping is needed in case you want to study the effects of each individual factor such as diet, nature exposure, living in a retreat, medical history, etc.
We need many more like you Pranav. The Indian culture ( or for that matter the culture in the entire West Asia ) is based on belief rather than science. Our history books dwell a lot on the Mughal rule, the British rule etc but the most seminal period which is the Industrial revolution in Europe is hardly discussed, considering that it is an epochal period that led to the modern age of science and the scientific way and indeed the modern way of life. Iam really happy that someone is emphasising the importance of randomization and double blind tests etc that are the lodestone of proving any claim. Please keep it up. Yes, you will not have the same following as others who have channels promoting pseudo science but if you are able to get even a section of our youth to think objectively, then you are doing a huge service ..
Western knowledge is built upon the stolen knowledge from Indian, and Arabic scriptures. They totally suppressed it's origins and claimed as their own. They also brainwashed and branded the original sources are dogmatic and groomed doubt and hatred among the ethnic people through their crooked logical skills. Leftist thinkers aided this strategy further and destroyed the entire roots and faith of the ethnic sources and the mindsets this present video by Praveen is one of such kind, which is more vicious intended to create all doubts on the ancient science of India. Western world is totally a corrupt, deceptive and built on loot, murder and plunder, they claimed superiority over the rest of the world through their wicked, monstrous ways to grab others lands and own them as slaves , destroy their cultures, own their knowledge, etc. By the doctrine of discovery, they shared all rest of the world for loot and genocide the ethnic groups and their land, property and knowledge. Now the western world is definitely under doom sooner. Fakes like this Praveen has to doom shortly for their crooked thought process. ❤
Please stop calling him Sadhguru. A Sadh/Sat Guru is a Hindu teacher. Jaggi says he is not a Hindu; therefore, is neither a guru nor a yogi. Though he claims to not be teaching Hinduism, he steals from it. One could call him a "sad" "guru".
there is no mention of the word Hindu in ancient scripture, foreigner give us that, the word sindu is meaningful in Sanskrit, but the word Hindu means nothing in Sanskrit, our wisdom is not "ours" Those people who share the wisdom are gurus they dont belong to any caste and creed and gurus don't discriminate, and there is no concept of religion, they call it dharma, simply means cease of desire, fire, the man with the purity of consciousness is dharmic. one who dispels the ignorance is guru, one whose mind, body, the soul is in unity is yogi, its nothing about religion and nationalism. those are just words the essence can be achieved by anyone who is diving within.
@@rameshdevasi6720 unfortunately Ramesh you are so typical of the very misinformed. Your mindset has multiple delusions and needs a very lengthy explanation. Will get back to you soon. But basically you are anti Hindu. Think deeply about the ramifications.
@@rameshdevasi6720 tried to send a link but didn't work. If you go the Dharma Yoga Ashram podcasts, check out "Hindu Yoga Atman." But clearly you are simply a cliche and have not gone into debth in the Vedas. For example, (H)indu samudra idayarti vayu bhir." R.V. 9:84. Hindu is simply another pronunciation of Indu/Sindhu.

I had been doing various forms of yoga and meditations for a long time. And I was super skeptical about Sadhguru at the beginning but after doing inner engineering I couldn't help but be filled with gratitude towards him. I have been doing Shambhavi for 7 years and other Isha yoga practices and it works in miraculous ways. My sleep quota has come down, my need for food is less & I don't even know what is stress anymore, and I could go on with the various benefits to my physical health, improved concentration, focus, professional and personal relationship, etc just like millions of others who have benefitted from Sadhguru. I hope you are listening to such people as well instead of drawing your amateur conclusions. People go to him because what he teaches works. Otherwise, we are not fools to simply believe what a person says. I would appreciate if science is dope did inner engineering and practiced it for 6 months and shared his experiences. It just works. Do it and see for yourself. Otherwise, this is simply repeatedly attacking a person who is trying to do good in the world for some youtube views.
After 21 years of working, I've been without a job for 6 months now, but I am not stressed. Not one bit. I know I am competent and will find a job soon. That is knowledge. That is commonsense. I didn't have to do Inner Engineering or Outer Engineering to understand that and deal with my situation. It seems a Cheetah can go without a kill or about 7 days. Rain or shine, only two options - find food or perish. There is no going to an "Enlightened Cheetah" and attend programs for "well being". It used to work pretty much the same with humans, until we realized we had some extra brains and can talk people into foolish things to make money and get famous. That is all.
@@sureshr23 This is what I am talking about. You haven't tried it or practised it but you are so quick to make judgments. But I understand where you come from. I was the same. Your comment is like a flashback to my life. Always, approaching things with a pre-conceived notion. But try thinking your way out of diabetes and thyroid. Will not work! I have personally seen people walk out of chronic ailments with these practices. My mother is one of the few who has benefitted immensely. My wife used to volunteer in their rejuvenation center and she's seen how many people would just walk out of ailments when they did it regularly. But I am sure all this will fall on deaf ears. I will rest my case here and hope that sensible people read my comment before jumping to conclusions. And I am not speaking for or against Sadhguru. I am simply saying to approach it with an open mind. If it works for you then great and if it doesn't then just move on. (Trust me it will !) Have a great day. 😊
The whole point of the video is calling out the flawed research citied by Sadhguru to advertise his programs for financial gain. Nowhere in the video is Pranav claiming that Yoga and meditation don't work. Even the craziest of witch doctors would have "patients" who will claim that they have been cured. It is an individual's personal choice to believe in them. But if someone is looking for scientific evidence to make an informed choice before following someone or something, they might get deceived by such flawed research.
@@rishavacharya266 Reality is different , it can be placebo or anything . any ways you have a subjective bias and also you claim is anicdotel based , please give us any testing to know that your condition really improved.
@@rajeevranjanmishra25 when u have no answer, just tag it with placebo.. Bcz You r judgemental about this things before. In ur head, U already decide that yoga or this practices will not work. Is it unbiasness ?
Sadhguru aside and Isha clinical studies aside, meditation have been through thousands of studies which has proven several times on its benefits. It's all about altering the perception of reality like the placebo effect which is a real phenomenon where medicines fail believing in something wins the goal. I believe meditation provides a path way to alter our perception towards a certain goal and some achieve it and some don't it's as clear as glass but doesn't mean it isn't real. In my opinion if this video demotivates someone who could potentially mean harm to themselves or others to actually loose hope on such programs and meditation which could have had a possible positive effect by result or placebo whom does it hold responsible? Also this video doesn't point out millions of people who have actually claimed that his programs have really had a positive effect can that be manipulated on such a large scale and to be really honest and not biased at the end of the video if you pay attention to the names of the people who helped to make this video I claim this video to be unreliable and should be reviewed

your videos are getting better with more logical statements. As a science student and also a practitioner of astrology I must say we Indians need some people like you who can show us the subtle difference between science and spirituality.
There is no subtle difference between science and spirituality. Science is way of explaining universe through rigor and scientific method. Where as spirituality is pure hokum.

What do you expect when the average iq of India is 76.24? Only 0.01% of India or even less than that is close to being non-superstitious, some lie in the middle and most of them are superstitious. In my humble survey I did by checking everyone I met, I never ever found a single person who is free from any superstition.
I have done the program & experienced what it really is & these research shows only a little aspect of what these programs can do & I am sure all the people laughing & being guruphobic in the comments section aren’t here really for science nor with the thirst to really know the truth behind these tools I urge everyone who really want to know what these programs can do to try it & see it for yourself if it works great if it doesn’t you have all the right to bash but till then you don’t
@@matrixsmarther2325 completely agree with you that’s why I’m urging to try it personally rather than simply making a conclusion millions of people have done the program & it has worked almost for everyone anyhow if it doesn’t works for you I have that much decency to accept the flaws 😊
@@matrixsmarther2325 it has nothing to do with sadhguru it’s the tools which he offers you don’t have to believe him or anything just imply the tools at least keep a open mind hatred only makes you blind & limited
What you are describing is personal experience. I could try the program and it may have some effect on me. That doesn't imply that the meditation technique is the reason behind this. To conclusively prove that this meditation has the effects that it promises, you are supposed to conduct the study eliminating all those red flags mentioned. Re-watch the point about control group and try to understand why that is a crucial part of a study like this. Otherwise you'll keep repeating the same point over and over again. It is quite amusing how you know for sure that all the people laughing & being guruphobic in the comments section aren’t here really for science. And I am sure you are here for science and nothing but science. Your comment is such proof. Asking people to "try it out" themselves, providing personal experiences as evidence, such scientific temper sir! kudos to you for being the only flag bearer of science in this comment section. Guruphobic? Quite an interesting word you have here. Never heard it anywhere. But then again, I understand that you do have to invent words to villainize anyone who criticizes your position. Hinduphobic, Islamophobic, and now apparently guruphobic as well.
This was published in a Hindawi journal. That alone disqualifies this study. I have performed peer review for multiple scientific journals during the course of my PhD (computational chemistry), Hindawi Publishing is NOTORIOUS for low quality research that is very light on peer review. My advisor made it a point to NEVER trust or cite research published in a Hindawi journal.
@@scienceisdope Yep yep, just pointing out that Hindawi research is looked upon with massive suspicion by serious researchers. Like if you couldn't publish in a journal of ACTUAL repute, you resort to Hindawi. It runs its journals on a pay-to-publish model, btw.
Ahaha I can only feel pity for your ignorance sir those who have got initiated into those tools & have experienced it daily & here you’re making a false conclusions suiting at the comfort of your house without even exploring it on a personal level don’t believe sadhguru nor Pranav try it by yourself

Might be unrelated, but didn’t Sadhguru’s wife disappear in the 90s and he claimed that she had attained samadhi? No one saw the body and the court even accepted this explanation. 😬
@@siddhantjain4106 He says that there were 100 people present (sometimes 1000). But I haven’t seen anyone actually come up who says that they were present.
Hi Sir, this is called duty. I am sure that you are aware that most people are not going to bother about this. Still, you took it upon yourself to try and debunk the “scientific claims” made by Jaggi Vasudev and the likes. When the entire medical community is mum about these things, you are taking your time out for this. Kudos.
I absolutely understand your point of view but I tested this breathing technique although I was very critical about it and to my surprise it really works.
Laughable thing is that these people cry everytime why u support wester science not india? But again these people try to validate their claims using the same "western scientists "
Steadfastness to reason maketh Man a Superman - nobody popular said that. I'm glad you made this video despite the poor rewards you get for it. The world, unfortunately, runs on money and few people care for what is actually true - not what seems to be - and fewer still take time out to popularise it. The risk is high, and I totally acknowledge the time and effort you must've invested to do your research. P.S: The next time around, I request you to call him by his given name Vasudev. The man deserved nothing more than that. What surprises me is how politely you turn down his claims. Good for you because most people get their noses out of joints simply listening to this man speak :)

Its nice to see people like sadhguru having to create datas and studies to support his hocus pocus stuff. It just shows that they are under pressure of people scrutinizing them with logical reasoning. Its a great change in our society. More and more people are seeing stuff through inquiry.
Your videos are really getting better, impressed and learnt a lot from it. I just request you to make a video on astrology in the way you're doing now. Watched your old video on astrology but it was a bit too lengthy and maybe not very accessible. Hoping to see that soon 💟

Don't say "Hail Rationality." It sounds religious.
@@ShikharAasal All belief systems eventually become as rigid as religions. "Hail rationality" perfectly encapsulates the petty fascism of close-minded ideologues masquerading as people of science
"Hail rationality"
Ironic, because it doesn't sound very rational. What you should say is always think rationally or that rationality is da best. Don't 'hail ' anything, accept only the truth.
Everything people say doesn’t need they mean it literary. And 'hail' is also a synonym to cheer/praise/welcome... So everything is fine here.
Yes, I don't agree with his research either since he blindly trusted on some paper work
Once again, a systematic and truly scientific analysis of a marketing claim... too bad much of the populace cannot differentiate between marketing gimmicks and scientific data. Keep up the good and unbiased work, Pranav
This is why scientific study is so important. Religions and practices (like yoga) make plenty of assertions (especially related to increased wellbeing or even enlightenment), but unless we can provide evidence that they are actually good for the body/mind complex (in a measurable way), it's pointless wasting years on such practices. Unfortunately, most studies in this space are typically done by people who are already convinced the yogic practices are good for you. That is not how science should be done.
P.s.: I'm not asserting yogic practices aren't good for us, just that scientific evidence (gathered using proper scientific method) should trump any assertions made by people peddling these practices.
Well said 👏
Yaa mindfulness is overrated
@@rahulgoswami3691 I think it's better to say "we don't know", as nobody has really carried out any meaningful scientific experiments to confirm how effective (or ineffective) it is.

The fact that Sadhguru has even tried to provide a study is amazing. It shows people have started using critical thinking.

When someone wants to debunk something he tries everything possible to debuknk and expose it .
Brother one thing I have found out in my life was this. Radical scepticism is needed to find out the truth. But if you use scepticism to not get involved in something, you have died a little bit, you have denied an opportunity to explore, by forming a preconceived opinion. If you really want to find out what Sadhguru and Isha is all about, go to Isha Yoga Center, do some programs, remain 100% sceptical throughout. Then you will have made good use of your intellect. If you use your intellect to remain in your bubble of comfort and defend it by judging everything negatively that threatens it, you can never ever grow. Because something makes logical sense, doesn't mean it's true. You can come up with a perfectly logical argument for anything. Only your own experiece can tell you if something is really true or not. Scepticism is a filter for experience, but can't replace experience as a means to explore new ground. Best wishes to you.

The comment I'm looking for. Don't feel the need to say much ,but there's two sides of a coin and we'll never know what lies on the other side untill we see or experience it.
A better control group would be one in the peaceful semi rural environments vs one in urban environments. Both the groups receive the full course but one in rural Tennessee vs. one in Urban New York. Usually, everything seems fine and dandy at the Ashram. It is about being high functioning adults even in extreme stress. I am not even saying keep the 2nd control group in places like Delhi, Shanghai, Hong Kong, or Tokyo, just a moderately stressful place like New York. Heck, i would have another test. Say both study groups in New York one received the course, and the other did not and periodically follow them for 1 month 3 and 12 and measure their bio markers.
Another great video by our local Science Boi, keep it up.
YEAH LOCAL ONLY !
This is an excellent video about the peer reviewing process and assessment of the methodologies to distinguish between reliable and non-reliable study. I support such efforts and the content ❤.
A nicely done critical walk through that should serve to illustrate it for many not used to reading papers. This is also a great way to engage apart from debunking as it is actually instructive to do it this way.
Absolutely amazing content! I am speechless! This whole critical thinking series has been amazing. The criticism has evolved so much and now you have also added tools for people to empower themselves to identify reliable studies. Thanks a lot for the great content!
I really like your videos. In a certain period i really totaly dived into this sadhguru universe and did the practices, visited the ashram, read his books. Now I only continued doing one practice and that a little half heartedly. I must say that I still don't think they take a lot of money for their courses and there are no attachments which put pressure on you. People leave you alone and you can involve however much you want without anyone commenting on it. Not the typical "cult" environment.
I still feel like I got into all this while being in a crisis and now that i figured a new way of managing myself and additionaly started studying a scientific subject. I am becoming more ciritcal in my thinking and try to reevaluate this whole thing.
Back when i listened to all his advice and followed it, did my yoga, took care of my diet the way he says, i really must say I had times of great feelings of depth and joy.
However I really can't ignore all the arguments of yours and remember how i had many logical conflicts with what he was saying before, but just had the trial and error approach, so I kind of put my conflicts aside.
I am really interested in mental health and health in general, due to struggling with it myself and seeing many people struggling with it. This is a core interest why I and many others follow people like sadhguru I think. The search for wellbeing. So maybe that is a question which you could try to start covering as well.
Would be interested what you think about that.
Greetings
Aaron
He won't be able to talk on wellbeing as it has no scientific evidence 😂😂
Love what you've done here! This is exactly the kind of content India needs to come back up. We need to showcase ourselves as being better than a country of scammers and snake-charmers. The educated lot should come forward and speak up against all the shit that's going on, speak truth to the corrupt powers. Only then can we move forward as a people and overcome our social evils for real.
Born in India but live in the West. Was scammed by Indians on WhatsApp and many of my white friends alled India a country of scammers. But now the Indians are being scammed by other Asians and Africans. These fake sadhgurus must dig a hole and jump in it. Just money printing fakers
Why the hell to showcase to others? And that too all other countries outside? Have you ever listened to what great people/ achievers/philosophers have said about life ? Have you ever imagined yourself? You are already an example of current education and science you want others to appreciate you then you will think you are right.
@@blaze635 Showcase to others because it will help us eventually. If India has a great image in front of other countries it will help our country. Our country's image can make significant impact on geopolitics, tourism, investment etc. We can't live our entire life listening to philosophy. Money, power, good image etc are very much needed. Though we need to draw a line, seeking validation everytime, wont help.
If anyone was wondering, the prices of these programs is not directly available on their website, but from other sources online, the price in Tennessee is ~$6500 and in India it is ~₹3000-4000. So if you were wondering what motivation Isha/sadhguru had for publishing this paper with bad science, this might be one of them.
3000 rupees is less than 40 USD
Liked before the video started
great job, lighting candle in this dark world
Then why don't make conversation with sadhguru directly
Do you think he would get like to be exposed?
My experience on Shambhai meditation for a long time says different. I would suggest please do for Inner Engineering, Shoonya and Samayama progams by Sadhguru. And do the same analysis.
Your analysis is seemingly logically, which can be counter. I know at least 25+ people who are doing this Shambhabhi mahamudra for more more than 3 years people. You will see more comments who also know more people with positive effect.
Please make a video on Bageshwar dham babs's miracles.

Shamvabi helped me miraculously recover from hypertension, anxiety, and depression.
I have seen multiple people who have changed their lives amazingly after going through Isha's programmes, and I have seen people ignoring their practises and getting nothing out of it. I have seen both sides.
What I understood was that, just like any educational institution, different kinds of students have different levels of focus and dedication to the work they are putting in, and the result is directly proportional to the effort they put in.
In the same way, there are people going through this who are experiencing immense improvement in their lives, and there are others who just stay the same. You cannot conclude anything here, really.
I, being an atheist, got myself out of a mental phase where I had to consult a psychriatrist, but I chose to go to the Inner Engineering programme because of its practice, which takes 20 minutes a day. I even couldn't believe this was possible. But it is for those who put in the effort.
It’s called “Placebo Effect” read. Also, can’t really call yourself a rational/atheist in the same text as Sadguru

@@AnalystSarvesh you don't need to buy any of any one course. Just practice by yourself and you will see the amazing effects of pranayam.

Don't go by my words, you need to see it to believe it. If you take everything as placebo, someone might claim anxiety and depression in the same way, and the whole section of society will go crazy over it. You can argue whatever you want, but you don't need to believe anything on the internet just like that.
Science has come a long way in discovering and understanding many things about our world, but there are still some things that it has yet to prove or fully comprehend. As humans, we often have a tendency to dismiss things that we cannot see or prove. However, it's important to keep an open mind and not disregard something just because it hasn't been scientifically proven yet.
For example, the idea of placebo effects is something that has been debated for years. While some may argue that it's simply a psychological phenomenon, others believe that there is a deeper, unexplainable power at play. It's important to recognize that just because something cannot be explained or proven by science at this point in time, doesn't mean it's not real.
Quantum mechanics and genetics are two areas of science that have seen incredible advancements in the past century. However, prior to this time period, humans had no idea about the theories behind these subjects. It's important to keep in mind that there may be many other phenomena or concepts that we have yet to discover or understand.
Just because science hasn't discovered or proven something yet, doesn't mean it's not worth considering. It's important to keep an open mind and continue to explore and question the world around us. Who knows what discoveries we may make in the future that will shed light on things we previously didn't understand or thought were impossible.
There is absolutely no doubt that shambhavi and other mudras work, issue is capturing it in a study
Exposed layer by layer. Good job man!
You are wrong, you are believing without testing by yourself...
Get initiated into shambhavi by online session do it 90 days then say something.
These evidence are as real as my Girlfriend from another School🗿👍
This video was easy to understand and greatly informative , could you do these kind of videos series where we can see more research paper being examined ,good and bad, as many more from many many conglomorates which publishes their researches like this in food and health products to lobby their own products.
I have friends who has not intrested in engineering but intrested in pesudo science called inner engineering, and they dont have respect for science engeenering degree but defending inner engneering by psudo science😅 (when i told this all of them angry, but i dont care)
Fantastic video exposing the gimmics if the game in the name if meditation. Great job.
If you really want to do justice to your analysis, please do the Inner Engineering prograam, Shoonya and Samayama progam. I was skeptic initially but did not conclude without doing it hands on. It was the brs descision for me to do Sadhgurus program. Its not without reasons he has so many followers.
I am no fan of sandhguru. Just pointing out some things from video. One red flag just for mentioning unit of measurement does not look fair.also I think you have included two red flags for conflict of interest. Not having control group is the strongest argument. I agree 100% with that.
Dear Pranav, Firstly, kudos for making such a beautiful video on the topic. Sadhguru's videos helped me a lot during the hard times that I had during the pandemic. I never used to question any of his claims until I started watching your channel and I'm so glad that I have. Afterwards, I was able to listen to Sadhguru in a whole different light which I have to admit did shatter a lot of my belief systems at the time. Born and brought up in a Hindu family in Kerala, religion always played a big factor in my life which eventually attracted me to the domain of spiritual practices. A few months after discovering your channel I finally decided to try Inner Engineering for myself since I was facing some personal issues which could be solved by the program.
As I'm writing this comment, I have to admit that I definitely have felt a change in my life after Inner Engineering. Doing the meditation once a day eventually helped me solve the biggest issue that I had faced in my life - sleep. I have tried the advice of healthcare professionals, I have tried going to sleep surrounded by two or three alarms but was never able to wake up listening to the alarms I set. If anything my mother would come busting my room door from downstairs hearing my alarm ring. But after practising Shambhavi I have been able to get up listening to the alarm that I set on my phone. I should also note that I have been able to wake up in this manner when I used to practice Surya Namaskar a few years back.
Another effect that I would like to add would be my emotions. I, like many other kids of my age, grew up seeing and sometimes being the dark side of human society. I have been the bully at one point and have been bullied during another point in time. It was a very difficult time and I remember crying a lot. I usually connect it to those events, but unlike seeing fictional characters experiencing a difficult childhood, it was very difficult for me to experience sadness. I couldn't get sad when I mentally know that I should be very sad at that moment. It was very difficult for me to cry, which is very uncomfortable when you add it to this blocked-sadness sort of situation. These days, I end up crying for the silliest reasons. I went to a temple last week and I couldn't stop crying looking at the vigraham inside the sanctum. I end up crying seeing someone standing on the street with a gloomy face. I don't know how to explain these experiences that I am having. Finally, I would also like to add that there is an ever-present calmness and peace within me these days. I do miss the practices on some days, but it still doesn't change my newfound calmness.
Indian Mysticism has always been a wonder for me. Why are there repeated mentions of "prana" and chakras throughout the literatures even when there is not a trace of anything remotely similar that we can observe physically in the human body? Why do our emotions and consciousness change just by practicing yogasanas? A large part of it is very difficult to be explained using the tools of physical science that we possess. But I believe that does not mean all is false. To say so would be to shun the lives of the people like Adi Sankaracharya, Swami Vivekananda, and Shri Ramana Maharshi who lived and passed in very recent history. I do understand that I am making an extraordinary claim here, but my belief is that the world that we live in is not entirely physical and therefore cannot be entirely explained using physical science. I believe there exist other parts to life than what we can perceive. I obviously don't have a proof to back this up and it can be very easily deflected. I think I would love to hear your thoughts on the topic someday over a cup of coffee, haha.
Having been positively affected by Shambhavi, I thought I should leave a comment about it over here. Even if it's not the teachings of Sadhguru, I strongly advocate that everyone should practice some sort of meditation in their daily life as it really helps. Again, more power to you Pranav. Your work definitely helps people develop the ever-needed scientific and critical thinking skills.
Have a good one.
Thats your story, Ok. Do you have access to other 1000 unbiased, randomized people, carefully divided in control group such that one with meditation program have high biomarkers than the ones without meditation program?

We need two or more control groups to observe any significant effect of yoga or meditation.

Clearly website of a shady meditation business is not a great source and survey is very least effective of all research practices as it has many variables.

hey@pauldirac what are u studying?and the one your friend, which college does he study?just asking out of curiosity.
17:37 you also need a third group with meditation but no program (no hikes, no nature walks, no diet control) - i.e. people doing the Shambhavi Mudra in their daily lives at home. This will be useful if it so happens the Shambhavi Mudra is actually effective - it will show up in the results on a normal day in your life. All groups must have subgroups of people who have A. never done the practice, B. just started the practice in the past few weeks and C. have been doing the practice for a long time.
Having designed the study as such with 9 sets of subgroups, we must also measure and compare the effects on all these 9 subgroups.
Further variation and sub-grouping is needed in case you want to study the effects of each individual factor such as diet, nature exposure, living in a retreat, medical history, etc.
Kudos to you for such a brave step🎉
We need many more like you Pranav. The Indian culture ( or for that matter the culture in the entire West Asia ) is based on belief rather than science. Our history books dwell a lot on the Mughal rule, the British rule etc but the most seminal period which is the Industrial revolution in Europe is hardly discussed, considering that it is an epochal period that led to the modern age of science and the scientific way and indeed the modern way of life. Iam really happy that someone is emphasising the importance of randomization and double blind tests etc that are the lodestone of proving any claim. Please keep it up. Yes, you will not have the same following as others who have channels promoting pseudo science but if you are able to get even a section of our youth to think objectively, then you are doing a huge service ..
Yes
Western knowledge is built upon the stolen knowledge from Indian, and Arabic scriptures. They totally suppressed it's origins and claimed as their own. They also brainwashed and branded the original sources are dogmatic and groomed doubt and hatred among the ethnic people through their crooked logical skills. Leftist thinkers aided this strategy further and destroyed the entire roots and faith of the ethnic sources and the mindsets this present video by Praveen is one of such kind, which is more vicious intended to create all doubts on the ancient science of India. Western world is totally a corrupt, deceptive and built on loot, murder and plunder, they claimed superiority over the rest of the world through their wicked, monstrous ways to grab others lands and own them as slaves , destroy their cultures, own their knowledge, etc. By the doctrine of discovery, they shared all rest of the world for loot and genocide the ethnic groups and their land, property and knowledge. Now the western world is definitely under doom sooner. Fakes like this Praveen has to doom shortly for their crooked thought process. ❤
Please stop calling him Sadhguru. A Sadh/Sat Guru is a Hindu teacher. Jaggi says he is not a Hindu; therefore, is neither a guru nor a yogi. Though he claims to not be teaching Hinduism, he steals from it. One could call him a "sad" "guru".
there is no mention of the word Hindu in ancient scripture, foreigner give us that, the word sindu is meaningful in Sanskrit, but the word Hindu means nothing in Sanskrit, our wisdom is not "ours" Those people who share the wisdom are gurus they dont belong to any caste and creed and gurus don't discriminate, and there is no concept of religion, they call it dharma, simply means cease of desire, fire, the man with the purity of consciousness is dharmic. one who dispels the ignorance is guru, one whose mind, body, the soul is in unity is yogi, its nothing about religion and nationalism. those are just words the essence can be achieved by anyone who is diving within.
@@rameshdevasi6720 unfortunately Ramesh you are so typical of the very misinformed. Your mindset has multiple delusions and needs a very lengthy explanation. Will get back to you soon. But basically you are anti Hindu. Think deeply about the ramifications.
@@dharmayogaashram979 ahh yes, saying shit to save yo ass because you got roasted 🤣
@@rameshdevasi6720 tried to send a link but didn't work. If you go the Dharma Yoga Ashram podcasts, check out "Hindu Yoga Atman." But clearly you are simply a cliche and have not gone into debth in the Vedas. For example, (H)indu samudra idayarti vayu bhir." R.V. 9:84. Hindu is simply another pronunciation of Indu/Sindhu. Also think of how confused others will be seeing those who try and eliminate the Sanskrit/Hindu word (H)Indu! This is divide and conquer mentality and gives justification for others to say "see even they don't know who they are!
well you can be skeptical but be hesitant to make your own judgement without trying.
Sad-Guru is the Raja Babu of Science !
You are wrong, you are believing without testing by yourself...
Get initiated into shambhavi by online session do it 90 days then say something
@@gautamkumar-li7ey that is not the issue, issue is he shouldnt say stuff like genetic testing and all this if there is no genetic testing in the studies, the problem is the lying, people have become too comfortable with accepting lies, the politicians, the law enforcement, the media, all of them are constantly lying and deceiving people these days
Why waste your time criticising him instead of benefitting from what clearly works , to hell with his sciencey talks
@@raumshen9298 if things have worked, he would not have been here
Do bhavspandna and you will get your answers
I had been doing various forms of yoga and meditations for a long time.
And I was super skeptical about Sadhguru at the beginning but after doing inner engineering I couldn't help but be filled with gratitude towards him.
I have been doing Shambhavi for 7 years and other Isha yoga practices and it works in miraculous ways.
My sleep quota has come down, my need for food is less & I don't even know what is stress anymore, and I could go on with the various benefits to my physical health, improved concentration, focus, professional and personal relationship, etc just like millions of others who have benefitted from Sadhguru.
I hope you are listening to such people as well instead of drawing your amateur conclusions.
People go to him because what he teaches works. Otherwise, we are not fools to simply believe what a person says.
I would appreciate if science is dope did inner engineering and practiced it for 6 months and shared his experiences.
It just works. Do it and see for yourself.
Otherwise, this is simply repeatedly attacking a person who is trying to do good in the world for some youtube views.
After 21 years of working, I've been without a job for 6 months now, but I am not stressed. Not one bit. I know I am competent and will find a job soon. That is knowledge. That is commonsense. I didn't have to do Inner Engineering or Outer Engineering to understand that and deal with my situation. It seems a Cheetah can go without a kill or about 7 days. Rain or shine, only two options - find food or perish. There is no going to an "Enlightened Cheetah" and attend programs for "well being". It used to work pretty much the same with humans, until we realized we had some extra brains and can talk people into foolish things to make money and get famous. That is all.
@@sureshr23 This is what I am talking about. You haven't tried it or practised it but you are so quick to make judgments. But I understand where you come from. I was the same. Your comment is like a flashback to my life. Always, approaching things with a pre-conceived notion.
But try thinking your way out of diabetes and thyroid. Will not work! I have personally seen people walk out of chronic ailments with these practices. My mother is one of the few who has benefitted immensely.
My wife used to volunteer in their rejuvenation center and she's seen how many people would just walk out of ailments when they did it regularly. But I am sure all this will fall on deaf ears. I will rest my case here and hope that sensible people read my comment before jumping to conclusions.
And I am not speaking for or against Sadhguru. I am simply saying to approach it with an open mind. If it works for you then great and if it doesn't then just move on. (Trust me it will !)
Have a great day. 😊
The whole point of the video is calling out the flawed research citied by Sadhguru to advertise his programs for financial gain. Nowhere in the video is Pranav claiming that Yoga and meditation don't work.
Even the craziest of witch doctors would have "patients" who will claim that they have been cured. It is an individual's personal choice to believe in them. But if someone is looking for scientific evidence to make an informed choice before following someone or something, they might get deceived by such flawed research.
@@rishavacharya266 Reality is different , it can be placebo or anything . any ways you have a subjective bias and also you claim is anicdotel based , please give us any testing to know that your condition really improved.
@@rajeevranjanmishra25 when u have no answer, just tag it with placebo.. Bcz You r judgemental about this things before. In ur head, U already decide that yoga or this practices will not work. Is it unbiasness ?
According to new studies, people tend to believe the statements that begin with 'According to new studies'.
Jk.I totally made it up.
Highly educational and brilliantly researched video. Thanks.
Great video Pranav, as always 👍
Sadhguru aside and Isha clinical studies aside, meditation have been through thousands of studies which has proven several times on its benefits. It's all about altering the perception of reality like the placebo effect which is a real phenomenon where medicines fail believing in something wins the goal. I believe meditation provides a path way to alter our perception towards a certain goal and some achieve it and some don't it's as clear as glass but doesn't mean it isn't real. In my opinion if this video demotivates someone who could potentially mean harm to themselves or others to actually loose hope on such programs and meditation which could have had a possible positive effect by result or placebo whom does it hold responsible?
Also this video doesn't point out millions of people who have actually claimed that his programs have really had a positive effect can that be manipulated on such a large scale and to be really honest and not biased at the end of the video if you pay attention to the names of the people who helped to make this video I claim this video to be unreliable and should be reviewed
Other activities also provide similar benefits …
@@smarathe301 I'm a fitness expert From 13 years and I can say this without doubt no Matter how good a diet and fitness plan it doesn't do much in terms of mental stability, people are just in a cycle of relapses again and again. I'm supporting meditation because whatever I learned from the art of living(not Isha) took me out from severe panic attack disorder and childhood trauma also my experience with training hundreds of clients over the years.
@@60secondshorror that's YOUR experience.
Not mine
Ur really doing honest service to science my friend....kudos to you 🎉🎉
Mind opening video... Kudos to you man. ❤
I absolutely love your work and thank you for countering this pseudoscience that plagues our country
Sadly Indians in the West especially America pay thousands of rupees for an audience with this CON artist
You are looking at the study.
You didn't look at your inner dimension of liiiiiife😂
Today even a registered domain website makes people think it's research and don't know where to look for real research with peer review.. góood work bro❤
Scientists opinion on Hindu scriptures

Logical fallacy: appeal to authority and also many of your claims are totally false
1. Newton thought of gravity in mathematical form.
2. Also Newton thought that philosopher's stone exists which can turn any metal to gold.
Statement one was later found to be true/useful.
Does that means statement 2 is true/useful?
-No.
Stop appealing to authority buddy.
Everything the great scientists says doesn't has to be true as they had very different information compared to what we had today.
Also I would like to point that you are MISQUOTING most of scientists.
@@AnalystSarvesh exactly 💯
no evidence of Nikola tesla using vedas
Content like yours makes me believe in a better future for India.
your videos are getting better with more logical statements. As a science student and also a practitioner of astrology I must say we Indians need some people like you who can show us the subtle difference between science and spirituality.
But astrology is pseudoscience, isn't iy
There is no subtle difference between science and spirituality.
Science is way of explaining universe through rigor and scientific method.
Where as spirituality is pure hokum.
@@arivolilearning astrology is pure science ❤ not talking randomly but seriously if you'll go through the studies you'll find yourself. I also not used to find it interesting but it is the most fascinating thing in Vedic Culture. Please go through Vedic Astrology yourself ❤
@@snigdha2956 no time for pseudoscience. If you make a claim, it is you who have to present evidence. Present evidence
@@arivolilearning he made a claim not to please you but just so that you can be better in life he is in no obligation to provide evidence. Go and find yourself if you need it that much
Wonderful initiative Pranav. It is not a welcome augury when so called 'scientific' studies are used to bolster personal image in search of 'more' economic gains
dude btw can you make a video on rajiv dixit
Yo, serious question:
Are people in India really as superstitious as the comment section would led me to believe?
Some of these comments are wild
What do you expect when the average iq of India is 76.24? Only 0.01% of India or even less than that is close to being non-superstitious, some lie in the middle and most of them are superstitious. In my humble survey I did by checking everyone I met, I never ever found a single person who is free from any superstition.
Throw a lemon along with a green chilli in the middle of the road and people consciously make efforts to avoid it
I have done the program & experienced what it really is & these research shows only a little aspect of what these programs can do & I am sure all the people laughing & being guruphobic in the comments section aren’t here really for science nor with the thirst to really know the truth behind these tools I urge everyone who really want to know what these programs can do to try it & see it for yourself if it works great if it doesn’t you have all the right to bash but till then you don’t
Science doesn't work on anecdotal evidence.
May work for you. Not for everyone
@@matrixsmarther2325 completely agree with you that’s why I’m urging to try it personally rather than simply making a conclusion millions of people have done the program & it has worked almost for everyone anyhow if it doesn’t works for you I have that much decency to accept the flaws 😊
@@yogisguide321 just listening to Sad-guru puts me off. No way am I going to give him time or $$$
@@matrixsmarther2325 it has nothing to do with sadhguru it’s the tools which he offers you don’t have to believe him or anything just imply the tools at least keep a open mind hatred only makes you blind & limited
What you are describing is personal experience. I could try the program and it may have some effect on me. That doesn't imply that the meditation technique is the reason behind this. To conclusively prove that this meditation has the effects that it promises, you are supposed to conduct the study eliminating all those red flags mentioned. Re-watch the point about control group and try to understand why that is a crucial part of a study like this. Otherwise you'll keep repeating the same point over and over again.
It is quite amusing how you know for sure that all the people laughing & being guruphobic in the comments section aren’t here really for science. And I am sure you are here for science and nothing but science. Your comment is such proof. Asking people to "try it out" themselves, providing personal experiences as evidence, such scientific temper sir! kudos to you for being the only flag bearer of science in this comment section.
Guruphobic? Quite an interesting word you have here. Never heard it anywhere. But then again, I understand that you do have to invent words to villainize anyone who criticizes your position. Hinduphobic, Islamophobic, and now apparently guruphobic as well.
What happened to the sadguru zombies who used to come and abuse in the comments section??!!
Confidence without clarity is way more destructive than a nuclear missile. - Sadhguru
Misattributed quotes containing flawed logic and claims have been the bane of past Indian spiritual tradition - sadguru
😄
@@anandsharma7430 That is why I paraphrased it instead of quoting it. 😁
This was published in a Hindawi journal. That alone disqualifies this study.
I have performed peer review for multiple scientific journals during the course of my PhD (computational chemistry), Hindawi Publishing is NOTORIOUS for low quality research that is very light on peer review. My advisor made it a point to NEVER trust or cite research published in a Hindawi journal.
I see I see! I mentioned that the journal was mentioned in retraction watch
@@scienceisdope Yep yep, just pointing out that Hindawi research is looked upon with massive suspicion by serious researchers. Like if you couldn't publish in a journal of ACTUAL repute, you resort to Hindawi. It runs its journals on a pay-to-publish model, btw.
Hi Pranav, it's so hard to convince someone who is already into his teachings. They always come up with some illogical, "self help" concept.
Ahaha I can only feel pity for your ignorance sir those who have got initiated into those tools & have experienced it daily & here you’re making a false conclusions suiting at the comfort of your house without even exploring it on a personal level don’t believe sadhguru nor Pranav try it by yourself
@@yogisguide321 that's exactly what i meant. You are so into it blindly that you don't want to think outsid the box. There is no difference between people following Jesus, Allah or any guru. They all just follow without questioning
@@Paddsart I don’t believe in sadhguru sir I have tried the tools he has offered & it has worked for me in a tremendous way that’s why I’m vouching for it I ain’t a fool to follow anyone blindly if it hadn’t worked I would have left it & move way 🙏
I don't belong to any religion or believe in any thing or anyone. But the tools of Sadhguru has worked wonders for me.
@@yogisguide321 your username tells all the things worked for you
I hope they do another study with your recommendations!
Good Job Keep it up Pranav
Might be unrelated, but didn’t Sadhguru’s wife disappear in the 90s and he claimed that she had attained samadhi? No one saw the body and the court even accepted this explanation. 😬
She didn't disappear. Jaggi murdered her and cremated too soon before post mortem could be done.
Personally I don't think he killed her, yeah but it doesn't channge the facts in the video.
@@sumitdutta7043 It’s a very serious allegation to make, but it does look suspicious
She attained mahasamadhi front of 100+ people. The first one to notice her in this state was not sadhguru but other fellow meditator.
@@siddhantjain4106 He says that there were 100 people present (sometimes 1000). But I haven’t seen anyone actually come up who says that they were present.
Lovely explanation. A complex topic has been nicely simplified.
I really appreciate your rational , approach towards flaws.keep going
Hi Sir, this is called duty. I am sure that you are aware that most people are not going to bother about this. Still, you took it upon yourself to try and debunk the “scientific claims” made by Jaggi Vasudev and the likes. When the entire medical community is mum about these things, you are taking your time out for this. Kudos.
Absolutely fantastic and brilliant.
I absolutely understand your point of view but I tested this breathing technique although I was very critical about it and to my surprise it really works.
This analysis is incorrect. You have not accounted for extra dimensions.
🤣
And quantum entanglement of dimensions 😂😂
Need more of this
Everytime i hear 'certain' in his speech. I know he is making things up out of thin air.
And dimension
Thank you 🙏 please, tell me, can I translate your video on Russian?
Laughable thing is that these people cry everytime why u support wester science not india? But again these people try to validate their claims using the same "western scientists "
Excellent video, keep it up. ❤️
Wow only 162 participants.. i did my thesis on 200 patients. there are so so many disadvantages of having low sample size.
Steadfastness to reason maketh Man a Superman - nobody popular said that. I'm glad you made this video despite the poor rewards you get for it. The world, unfortunately, runs on money and few people care for what is actually true - not what seems to be - and fewer still take time out to popularise it. The risk is high, and I totally acknowledge the time and effort you must've invested to do your research.
P.S: The next time around, I request you to call him by his given name Vasudev. The man deserved nothing more than that. What surprises me is how politely you turn down his claims. Good for you because most people get their noses out of joints simply listening to this man speak :)
Brilliant work!!🔥🔥🔥
Latest fad by babas and influencers....utter complete bs and sprinkle it with physics lingos like thermodynamics, quantum physics and make yourself look cool by employing heavy PR advert agencies.
Add in terms like 'Quantum Entanglement', 'Metaverse' 'Astral dimension' and you have a winner
