DISCLAIMER 🧠 I made all these videos while I was in the ashram, with the intention of making people aware of what Isha has to offer and how one can benefit from the spiritual programs. I wish no one lose their spark & individuality by investing their whole life after an entity and regret later. 🙏🏼
Thank you so much. This brought a lot of peace and validation for me. I have been on a similar journey. There's no need to coerce or encourage people to do Inner Engineering. If someone really shows interest or openness, we can tell them it's worth it. Rest is on us, where we will go, how we will be :)
Shato its exactly what you mention: - Keep on doing the practice without any expactation. I´ve been doin the practice for 9 ears and now today after all these years I am amazed and speachless what it is and what it does. Its a complete package to liberation. How much time does it take to get enlightened / liberated? Actually even the smalest step is an improvement but the problem with that is that we dont have limitless amount of time in one lifespan. And during one liftime people tend to add more entaglement than untanglement so the effect is often in reverse. In reality it should not take time. But it takes time because you do not give in all at once; you give in by installments. So whether you want to go by small installments and take 100 lifetimes, or you want to do it today is your choice. How long it takes simply depends on how intense is your longing to know. - For those who don´t resonate with it... they´ll taka another road that´s simple as that. But will it bee as efficient as Shambhavi Mahamudra - probably not from a general mass perspective. There might be one in hundreds of millions who get there by accident... but are there realy accidents ;-)
do lets assume after whole lot of seeking you found what you were seeking now you will definately believe in that and thier would definately be other seekers who came at a point where they found what they were seeking therefore at that point of time there could be a few if not huge "Group of believers" and if they share there path to the seekers just imagine how easy it would be to seek what you are seeking. So my dear friend believers are always at a higher position than seekers. Happy SeeKING🧐🧐🙏
@@anikayadav6010 seeker - a person who is attempting to find or obtain something. believer - a person who believes in the truth or existence of something. problem is not in the defination problem is, you have accepted that seeker keeps seeking and seeking and seeking arey it is so simple khojte khojte kabhi to milegay lekin khojne ke process me itna lost hojao gay ki bhagwan samne a jayegay tobhi unko boldena " I am a seeker I still want to keep searching " and if this is not true then you will definately accept him as God and believe not only in his existence but also in his form, his nature, and hence from a seeker🧐 you became a believer🤗 CONGRATULATIONS🥳🥳🥳
@@gautamshaw2277 Except, that you never really "arrive." The Spiritual Journey is always evolving. But it's ok, you can have your understanding and others can have theirs. For me, "believers" stop seeking because they sense that they have "found the truth." While seekers remain open for as long as they live to learning and evolving spiritually.
I did Inner Engineering almost same time as you did. I think I saw your videos then for just a review. Now I remember. Things moved so good after Inner Engineering so good that I am completely immersed in my life. I have achieved my everlasting target of my life miraculously. And now I have plenty of time only to focus on what I am interested in and that which I love to do.
Did IE January, 2019 in Delhi.... within 6 months almost 90% of my friends stopped talking to me like the way they used to...few of them complained why m I ruining my life. As you said I started to justify myself, IE, spirituality, Isha and moreover Sadhguru. But gradually came to understand that there is no use of it. Specially after shoonya everything seems ok rather good.... because now I understand that spirituality is not for everyone.....so let's concentrate on being happy happy 🥰😀.....I can relate myself with each and every word of this video 😊😊
I lost my friends too .... but now when I look back I feel ‘thank god’ I lost them.. they were not adding any value to my life. And I had to pretend a lot to be with them. When I started talking about meditation, inner peace , helping society, helping others …they thought I am crazy and left me because I was not cursing anyone, not saying bad things, and always smiling 🙂. Well … all I can say to them now is ‘Best of luck 🙏🏻’ 😀.
I did My IE 6 months ago, I had a friend(Yeah You read it Right..😂 She is not talking to me anymore) who i felt that Inner Engineering will help her out with her Problems and all...When i said about Inner Engineering to and Explained how It will help her out and all she said..."Haha, Okay lets see it then"...Thats it...Ive not talked to her about Inner Engineering after that...and After Few months Like since 2 months, She suddenly stopped talking to me...!! And I wondered about this thing so much that as Sadhguru said, "People are such Invested in Their Miseries "..🙏🏻 Even before inner Engineering, Im having a smaller circle of Friends as i dont Gossip and reflect Hatred, Now My Close friends Group Is 4...😂🙌
Thanks for sharing. 😊 I remember almost everyone was against me when I decided to leave Bangalore and move to ashram. One even said 'Shato don't destroy your life!'
I was able to do this free about 4-5 years ago as a student and it changed my life. It gave me a new chance at life as I was suffering from a terrible illness that no doctors even understood. I was able to mitigate the symptoms and live a normal life like others and beyond. I had certain experiences that made me question everything I thought I knew about life and I never considered myself spiritual or religious. It really is worth it but I also did not expect miracles or anything. I didn’t expect much to be frank but it helped me as I didn’t really have any more options left. I’m here at 32 and I didn’t expect to live to be 30. I have no regrets 🙏🏽
Didi, It’s the same realization I’m having. I was referring the IE program to my colleagues, but I realized they like to talk about spirituality, but when it comes to practice/learning something significant, they don’t move a bit 😅 I thought I’m the person who couldn’t able to convince others, but through your video I realized It’s not me, it’s them🙏
There might be a path to peace of mind but when it comes to liberation then there is no path..The moment we separate ourselves from what is then we are operating mechanically.. 😁😁
I can relate to you so much. My friends and colleagues here in the Netherlands, keep saying they have xyz issues and when I refer them IE along with all research data, they are very very hesitant to even move their little finger. Recently one Isha meditator told me to not push them and let their karma decide whether they want to do IE. So I have left it as is for now. Just focusing more on my sadhana than being a missionary 😂
I really respect Sadhguru because he helped me in the worst phase of my life when I was in severe depression so all I have is gratitude toward him but when I really explored the spirituality I realised there is more to it... Acharya Prashant is the one with finest clarity and explains things better .I am not at all comparing but that's the fact.
Shato, intially, after seeing the title I thought this was going to be another video hating on Inner Engineering - but I wanted to see what points were against it, as I have found none really and I'm a HUGE skeptic. As I watched I learned it was NOTHING at all about what I thought. Your points are awesome and inline exactly with what guruji teaches. Namasakarm and thank you!
Shato your videos were among the only available with clear information on the Inner Engineering program. Really awesome to hear from a participant before I decided to do the program. I am 2 years in, and added Surya Kriya and Bhuta Shuddi to my practice. I dont promote it unless it comes up organically. If I am a shining light then people will notice and ask what is my secret! Thank you for your videos!
hi, please tell me, do you approve of jai shankars stand related to russian genocide??? Is Putin to blame? What about sadguru often labeling it as a conflict only? don't u think he trivialised a serious injustice?
@@shatofor100 hi, please tell me, do you approve of jai shankars stand related to russian genocide??? Is Putin to blame? What about sadguru often labeling it as a conflict only? don't u think he trivialised a serious injustice? thank you in advance.
True shato.even inwent to the class in 1998 without any expectations.i just joined to learn pranayama .but the joy i derived from it and my inner feelings cannot be explained.one has to experience it .all who have come under sadhguru are bkessed
You are absolutely right Shato ... people only hear what they want to hear ... they are not interested in Truth, they are interested in their version of Truth. Mostly people are in their head instead of experiencing it!! but you keep doing what you are doing!! Thank you for the videos!!
I did IE online end of last year,and before signing up I tried finding out more about it. That's when I came across your channel. I also.watched 2 to 3 other review and then just signed up. I realised that I got called to suddenly do IE from nowhere at all,and there must be a reason. It changed my mindset to a huge degree, its quite hard to explain in words what changed in me,but its life changing. Always nice to see your videos.
Hey yall guess what, this video really woke me up.Honestly I still have doubts and am risking it here but am going to purchase the inner engineering course and I don't what to expect but thank you for letting me know not to have any super high unrealistic expectations because that will leave me disappointed, there's a lot of stuff going in my life and I want to change my life and my perception of life, perhaps this is the first step towards true transformation as an 18 year old broke boy with no money and a chaotic unfulfilled life with a dysfunctional family 👪 . This is a huge leap of faith for me and I hope it all works out one way or the other I hope after this that I'll be a better individual altogether. 😁
what has been your experience so far? I took a different path and followed the teachings of Yeshua, no fee ofcourse.. it's been absolutely liberating..
Sadhguru said, "Because one's way was never the other's way." I am doing both. They do not contradict each other. I heard that Yeshua studied in India also...🤔
This is so relatable Shato!! I also had one of my friends who was going through a bad phase & I was so impatient & naive to pass on this course to her, saying that all her problems shall be solved after this program, without even realizing the intention she had behind doing this, her intention wasn't to change herself, it was to change someone else, and she didn't even bother to complete the 7 day online sessions. Since then I've sworn by never to suggest this to anyone. People must do this by themselves & not by somebody's suggestion. Unless they realize that it's them who need to change, this program won't be transforming for them. Also I realized it later that it's important to just let the transformation happen in ourselves first, without any expectations, then the practice works wonderfully within. And you spoke my words, when we have the universe's back, we don't need to care what anyone thinks or talks about us. It's mostly we who come in our own way & that's what we have to prevent always by staying in touch with the truth❤
Same here. I have a friend who is also going through some stuff. I did my IE recently. I explained and told her she could join me doing this , it’s benefits and all that. She never did..I stopped talking to her about it. She complains to me about her miseries on a weekly basis but now I keep quiet. I think people like their miseries. It does not have be IE I told her to do something else .. simple meditation.. I only talk to people about this stuff who are practicing this.
@@shrij9312 I know right! May be it's because life hasn't hit them that hard to be turning inwards and working upon themselves. They're contented with their constipated lives, and that's never long-lasting, but we can't make everyone understand this. Better that they themselves understand it with their own experiences someday
Exactly. Some people just love to suffer and blame everyone else around. And talking about mental health is like a fashion! But if you ask them to take a step, they are always ready with drama and excuse.
You’re absolutely right, Anjali and Shri. Oftentimes it takes such a severe shock like a near death experience and temporarily leaving the body to accelerate the will to desire true growth and improvement within. Such was the case with myself. Until then, until one stops seeing the within and the without as separate they will continue with the addiction to ego and self inflicted pain unfortunately. Have had similar experiences with just trying to introduce basic breath meditation practices to my friends and loved ones and not even IE. Until a being truly wants it and realizes they do there is no help for them in IE or any other such guidance.
I think I am currently in that mode of " I'll CONVINCE WHOLE WORLD TO MEDITATE " and score is 0 : 7 billion... I really need mature out of this... Anyways Loved the video 👍😊
What u told is 100% true, I forced my friends so much and pushed them to the IE classes by paying the fees bt they have taken it lightly , I even paid fees for bhavaspandana programme for my frnd ,at the end he didn't attend the programme ,tried convincing so much but at the end of the day somewhere I feel that I am loosing myself just imposing things on them . thank u love from Karnataka
@@MkMk-rp1wb First go for 1. Inner engineering online program after that go for 2.Inner engineering completion program You can only attend 2nd program if you have attended the 1st one And 2nd program is a part of 1st program. cost Inner engineering program - 1500 Inner Enginnering Completion - 3500 Trust me what they are providing cannot be compared with money, just go for it you won't regret.
Thanks for mentioning me in this video🤗🤗. I also really needed to hear this as initially i had also done a lot to convince people that they should do it but was not wise enough like you to realise it fast that, thats not how it works. Keep inspiring shatoo😍😍😍
Well vaisakh Anna she was not the only one who watched your video before doing in an engineering there was me and I don't know how many more people were there like me and it's wonderful that you just did inner engineering I guess few months before me and yet you made the video you shared your experience which really help otherwise I may not have done it thank you so much , by the grace of sadhguru I am still able to continue my practice and I think I have become more matured then what I was approximately 4 years ago so thank you once again 🙏
I think Sadguru is great. I have done the inner engineering and it brought a lot of focus into my life. Sadhguru suggests common sense solutions. Nothing said against him can change my view about him!!
Goodness, you're adorable! I so appreciate this message. As someone who's been seeking paths of healing and self-improvement for years and experienced wonderful benefits from Hatha Yoga and other modalities, I've learned that you cannot push anyone into anything. People come to things if and when they're ready. They might see that you've changed and grown as a person and want to try out what's working for you, and maybe it will work for them. But the truth is, the yogic path - or zen, or whatever - takes a commitment that doesn't resonate with people unless THEY are ready and want it. Even if you convince someone to do Inner Engineering or pay for their course, it's still a good deal of time invested over the 7 days and especially the marathon weekend. Better to do our own thing and hope it encourages others to pursue the path that works best for them. I've been practicing Shambhavi for several weeks and I totally get it. The change in my mental and energetic state is a beautiful thing!
Hi Shato, I used to watch your videos back then as I was hesitating to subscribe to IE. I was curious about Sadhguru but a part of me was still afraid to jump into Isha Yoga, afraid of what people would think (living in western Europe), and not sure that yoga would be really helpful. But your videos and Vaisu's ones helped me to go for it. Today, I am doing Shambhavi, Surya Krya and Angamardana. So : thank you ! 🙏
Definitely Vaisakh anna and Shato akka have helped lot of people to take up IE and walk upon the spiritual path. Also, similar group of people help you stay focused with your sadhana. 🙏❤️
Girl I relate to this so much. I would spend my time explaining to everyone why experience in the spiritual field is more important than what they "think". I used to get so frustrated with these anti-Sadhguru people with no spiritual experience whatsoever talking like they know everything like they're mystics😂 but I've learnt it the hard way that their time will come too when they will start seeking maybe in a few years or a few lifetimes. I don't need to push them. They have their own pace. I'm so peaceful now. Everytime I get frustrated with this I just tell myself, their good time will come too when they'll find their Guru and they'll seek. 😌🙏 Thank you Shato
My experience with meditation was exactly similar- what I have concluded is that spiritual uplifting is predestined- only the gifted ones tread on that path , no snobbery intended
You are not alone! I totally relate to this message. It is our personally journey and it’s hard for others to know understand. Thank you for sharing! Namaste 🙏🏻
Extremely good synopsis of people, their reactions to the program, and generally the way people act in general. I just completed my inner engineering course yesterday and look forward to the daily benefits of meditation and stretching. Anything that comes beyond that I'll be grateful for but it's not expected. Thank you for this video and thank you our Guru for giving love to the world.
he he.. I could not convince my family for inner engineering for like 6 years and then I left it to them, now they ask me about program, I tell them I don't know, search it on internet. Some of them attended the program later. So its about when they get dissatisfied enough of this life, it should be available if they need, but not forced feed it to them.
There is a saying "you can take a cow to water but you can't make her drink" . It is like that with people too, they need to be ready for spiritual development. Sometimes people take a lot of bashing from the world before they are mature enough to understand what they really need. You are very fortunate to find this path at a young age. May everyone find peace and happiness in their lives ❤️
Inner engineering , and complition , Shambhavi Mahamudra are much bigger aspects of Isha , before that i got my life transformed by just the inner engineering book , Sadhguru s food book and isha kriya , I will be posting a video very soon about all the journey from being a dopehead to a Joyful being🙏🏻😊
Hi I’ve been initiated into Shambhavi 6 years back, and I practice it daily, it’s become a part of my very being and I totally agree with you . Your perspective about everything becomes sooo positive.
Very Truly Expressed Shato. See How Beautiful it becomes when we just start with involvement and what we care for. Life Opens Up in unknown ways. Best Wishes.
Ramana Maharshi and Nisargadatta taught freely, I learned Buddha's teaching of basic principle of how mimd works - 4 mental aggregates. Sit and do nothing and inquiry who wants to move or feel bored. This brought awakening and partial enlightenment,
Namaskaram Shato🙏 I had watched Vaisakh's vlog on IE, listened to the IE audiobook and read IE prior to doing IE online in 2020 and then Shabavi in the first online initiation in Jan of 2021. I have always been a seeker with an open mind and Sadhguru's self absorb personality does not bother me. My friends are too judgemental and cannot get passed his personality to tap into the wisdom behind it. The lips of the wise is sealed but to the ears of understanding. I'm very grateful for his teaching and guidance. Thank you!
Namaskaram I am much older to you. However you are very eloquent about Isha and Sadhguru including how it is being perceived by you and others. I have forwarded this to a younger beginner who I am guiding as well. This video will be very useful for someone who has a second thought about it. You are absolutely correct in saying that a person must decide to be in it. I tried with my kids but they think they are better people already. That is fine and I know that time has not come for them to understand about the truth of inclusiveness ❤️🙏🏻
I just returned home from Darshan and it was my first time in the Ashram with the Isha meditators. I felt so loved and at home with all those beautiful people and Sadhguru being there was truly special.
Namaskaram Shato!!! Hope you are doing well. I feel the same way. I have seen how IE have changed my life. After IE i also learned hatha yoga... Many of my friends complain that their life is full of miseries and other things. Earlier when I saw anyone in such a state i felt that I should ask them to do IE. But now i have stopped pushing people to do IE. I think Spiritual thirst arise when there is enough pain in human and they seek solutions for it... And I also think that it is their karma that they are not inclined towards it... Let me know what you think... Pranam.. Chiranjeeb from Assam
Ma! I remember mentioning on one of your videos that "this is just a phase". Spiritual experiences gives you something that no one can give you, that's why you are extremely passionate to promote from where you got the experience. Good that you have evolved
As you just said, the times has changed soo much that earlier there were no one to promote these for free on RUclips, now there are too many ! Just no sequence, randomly teaching steps ! I think i should go for it !!
Akka no body can give you thumbs down because your videos gives us all information with too much smoothness.akka thanks for sharing things with such a good involvement 🤗
Hi I am from Kenya. It's very expensive for us to access it. Even if I sell everything I have including my home, i can't even afford to pay half of the money.
There is no one making money out of sharing their experience or talking about IE. we all share about IE coz we have experiences such wonderful benefits. So yes let’s just show others through us .. our life must talk about it and many are today also enrolling and enjoying Shambhavi 🙏You are not alone we are with you 🙏
Haha... so relatable. Even among us who practice IE are at different levels of experience. That is why Sadhguru job is so challenging. Making each of us remove our investment in our identities and getting us conscious of the life that is really happening is like moving a mountain. It feels the same with Saving Soil, people nod in agreement of what I say but that is about it and then the slightly more enthusiastic ones say what can I do? And after that it is mostly silence and inaction where their norm daily activities will still take precedence and resume as usual.
Hi Shato, I have seen few videos of yours and just love the way you convey your message. Pure and Childlike. I did my Inner Engineering offline and it is best gift i gave to myself in 2023 . I learned few years back that speaking about meditation and spiritual self improvement practices to people around makes them cringe and i stopped discussing not for them but for the respect of the Sadhana and prefer to discuss with people who shows interest but not in detail as they might experience and explore a different dimension to what i feel. But truly, you are doing a great job for people who are seeking to know more before stepping in and also for like-minded people who likes to enjoy listening you. God Bless you.
No matter how much you try to let people know of what you have experienced, they won't or maybe it's their ego that doesn't want to surrender to the truth. it's a tough task. They are affected and surrounded by their thoughts and current understanding of the world. If they have ever thought once about the spirituality or question the nature of life, they would be open to learn and seek it. But, unfortunately a lot of us are in the state of the gloomy world and nobody wants to think beyond it (EAT. WORK. SLEEP. REPEAT). That's the power of MAYA (Illusion) i guess. But, it's always great to see people thinking beyond it and threading the spiritual path. I also think sometimes that the people outside India (I don't mean Indians outside India) are more open to spirituality than Indians.
Any sadhana & it's affects depend on the stage which you the creative spirit is in this lifetime. that is why it called an 'initiation' not mentoring, training, coaching, prodding, pushing, boot-camp :-) Love to you Dear.
Even I have same question ...why the programme is paid with lots and lots of offers like a product... Why the people who are really poor to offord can't join the programme ...? Anyone answer for this please
Shato thank you for this video. I am a month younger than Sadhguru, you are never too old to open your eyes to the universe. Inner engineering and Sadhguru have open my eyes to the universe around us and inside of us. when I was young I was like so many people around me and lived a negative life. I spend many years searching for God, only to discover that God lives in me and is never apart from me. this gives me a comfort that can't be explained, I live a blissful life now . I have discovered that a billion people believe like I do. I will be 65 in 30 days, do I want to go to heaven, no I want to get to know the love of my soul Hare Krishna Hare Rama. If our supreme Lord is never ending and has no bounds then the paths that lead to our lord have no bounds either. Everyday is such a blessing and joy, it does not matter where I am . Thank you Sadhguru Thank you Isha
Thank you for your positive insight and feedback. I'm glad that you were able to brush away those negative people and comments. Or just to let you know you are not alone. We're all in the spiritual path together.
Really happy to hear your perspective on IE akka.. what you call immature I m currently doing thag.. and I have realised it but was not able to accept or apply it in my life.. but this seems to be a signal and I should grab this opportunity of learning from your experience rather than doing the same mistakes..thank you ! But this thought also come in my mind that sadhguru after being with all kinds of people still wanted to transform them in every possible way so why should we stop ..this this seems not working this at all still.. Would love to hear your views on it 😊😄🙏☺️☺️
I wish, atleast 1.5 million views on this video.. if you also wish then like, comment twice anything related video & must share with one person who has also done inner engineering program. Namaskaram..
I did inner engineering after watching your videos today I was initiated into Shambhavi Mahamudra. So grateful that I found your videos and did inner engineering. 🥰😀
What you have said is true Shato! Its an experience which you can’t explain or force someone to do it. When I started I didn’t even know I was doing it right/properly. But when I look back, I am a better version of myself. And you can only explain it to people who are open minded to see something from a different perspective, and those people find it themselves usually.
I can literally see the changes in u over time...😂😂 That's the power of practice and initiation, but unfortunately there are only few who understands it. Love from Bhutan 💚💚💚🙏
Good video, Shato. I can totally relate to the fact that it has to come from within and one cannot be convinced by someone else to follow a spiritual process. Thanks for sharing. Namaskaram, Govind

Doesn’t look like you’re in an ashram, and why have you been in ashram for 3 years.
Shambhavi is very powerful. I kept doing it without any expectations. After 1 year I started experiencing incredible things. Thanks to my Guru🙏
like what incredible things ?
U not gonna answer of that😂@@prettythings5572

Shato its exactly what you mention:
- Keep on doing the practice without any expactation. I´ve been doin the practice for 9 ears and now today after all these years I am amazed and speachless what it is and what it does. Its a complete package to liberation.
How much time does it take to get enlightened / liberated? Actually even the smalest step is an improvement but the problem with that is that we dont have limitless amount of time in one lifespan. And during one liftime people tend to add more entaglement than untanglement so the effect is often in reverse.
In reality it should not take time. But it takes time because you do not give in all at once; you give in by installments. So whether you want to go by small installments and take 100 lifetimes, or you want to do it today is your choice. How long it takes simply depends on how intense is your longing to know.
- For those who don´t resonate with it... they´ll taka another road that´s simple as that. But will it bee as efficient as Shambhavi Mahamudra - probably not from a general mass perspective. There might be one in hundreds of millions who get there by accident... but are there realy accidents ;-)

I was able to mitigate the symptoms and live a normal life like others and beyond. I had certain experiences that made me question everything I thought I knew about life and I never considered myself spiritual or religious. It really is worth it but I also did not expect miracles or anything. I didn’t expect much to be frank but it helped me as I didn’t really have any more options left. I’m here at 32 and I didn’t expect to live to be 30. I have no regrets 🙏🏽
People calling "spirituality is being sold and Sadhguru is a businessman" need to hear this.
Didi, It’s the same realization I’m having. I was referring the IE program to my colleagues, but I realized they like to talk about spirituality, but when it comes to practice/learning something significant, they don’t move a bit 😅 I thought I’m the person who couldn’t able to convince others, but through your video I realized It’s not me, it’s them🙏
Ya theoretical spiritual people are on a different level!
You focus on yourself. People who genuinely want to walk in spiritual path will come to you.
There might be a path to peace of mind but when it comes to liberation then there is no path..The moment we separate ourselves from what is then we are operating mechanically.. 😁😁
I can relate to you so much. My friends and colleagues here in the Netherlands, keep saying they have xyz issues and when I refer them IE along with all research data, they are very very hesitant to even move their little finger. Recently one Isha meditator told me to not push them and let their karma decide whether they want to do IE. So I have left it as is for now. Just focusing more on my sadhana than being a missionary 😂
I really respect Sadhguru because he helped me in the worst phase of my life when I was in severe depression so all I have is gratitude toward him but when I really explored the spirituality I realised there is more to it... Acharya Prashant is the one with finest clarity and explains things better .I am not at all comparing but that's the fact.
Madhavi tomar ma'am can I get your email ID ..Im facing the same and need to talk to you regarding this .. Please
Its your choice.
Shato, intially, after seeing the title I thought this was going to be another video hating on Inner Engineering - but I wanted to see what points were against it, as I have found none really and I'm a HUGE skeptic. As I watched I learned it was NOTHING at all about what I thought. Your points are awesome and inline exactly with what guruji teaches. Namasakarm and thank you!
Shato your videos were among the only available with clear information on the Inner Engineering program. Really awesome to hear from a participant before I decided to do the program. I am 2 years in, and added Surya Kriya and Bhuta Shuddi to my practice. I dont promote it unless it comes up organically. If I am a shining light then people will notice and ask what is my secret! Thank you for your videos!
That's a really good sharing. Thank you.😊 I thing I am gonna pin your comment.
Beautiful words💕
hi, please tell me, do you approve of jai shankars stand related to russian genocide??? Is Putin to blame? What about sadguru often labeling it as a conflict only? don't u think he trivialised a serious injustice?
@@shatofor100 hi, please tell me, do you approve of jai shankars stand related to russian genocide??? Is Putin to blame? What about sadguru often labeling it as a conflict only? don't u think he trivialised a serious injustice? thank you in advance.
Yes, it is
True shato.even inwent to the class in 1998 without any expectations.i just joined to learn pranayama .but the joy i derived from it and my inner feelings cannot be explained.one has to experience it .all who have come under sadhguru are bkessed
Prefect video! Even I have gone through this . Stopped convincing by friends to do inner engineering few months ago 🙏🏻🙏🏻😄
You are absolutely right Shato ... people only hear what they want to hear ... they are not interested in Truth, they are interested in their version of Truth. Mostly people are in their head instead of experiencing it!! but you keep doing what you are doing!! Thank you for the videos!!
Thank you 😊
I did IE online end of last year,and before signing up I tried finding out more about it. That's when I came across your channel. I also.watched 2 to 3 other review and then just signed up. I realised that I got called to suddenly do IE from nowhere at all,and there must be a reason. It changed my mindset to a huge degree, its quite hard to explain in words what changed in me,but its life changing. Always nice to see your videos.
Thanks for sharing 😊
Hey yall guess what, this video really woke me up.Honestly I still have doubts and am risking it here but am going to purchase the inner engineering course and I don't what to expect but thank you for letting me know not to have any super high unrealistic expectations because that will leave me disappointed, there's a lot of stuff going in my life and I want to change my life and my perception of life, perhaps this is the first step towards true transformation as an 18 year old broke boy with no money and a chaotic unfulfilled life with a dysfunctional family 👪 .
This is a huge leap of faith for me and I hope it all works out one way or the other I hope after this that I'll be a better individual altogether. 😁
How's your experience now
Please attend vipassana course in your city.....it's completely free of cost....it's very serious technique for liberation from all your suffering
what has been your experience so far? I took a different path and followed the teachings of Yeshua, no fee ofcourse.. it's been absolutely liberating..
Sadhguru said, "Because one's way was never the other's way." I am doing both. They do not contradict each other. I heard that Yeshua studied in India also...🤔
This is so relatable Shato!! I also had one of my friends who was going through a bad phase & I was so impatient & naive to pass on this course to her, saying that all her problems shall be solved after this program, without even realizing the intention she had behind doing this, her intention wasn't to change herself, it was to change someone else, and she didn't even bother to complete the 7 day online sessions. Since then I've sworn by never to suggest this to anyone. People must do this by themselves & not by somebody's suggestion. Unless they realize that it's them who need to change, this program won't be transforming for them. Also I realized it later that it's important to just let the transformation happen in ourselves first, without any expectations, then the practice works wonderfully within. And you spoke my words, when we have the universe's back, we don't need to care what anyone thinks or talks about us. It's mostly we who come in our own way & that's what we have to prevent always by staying in touch with the truth❤
Same here. I have a friend who is also going through some stuff. I did my IE recently. I explained and told her she could join me doing this , it’s benefits and all that. She never did..I stopped talking to her about it. She complains to me about her miseries on a weekly basis but now I keep quiet. I think people like their miseries. It does not have be IE I told her to do something else .. simple meditation.. I only talk to people about this stuff who are practicing this.
@@shrij9312 I know right! May be it's because life hasn't hit them that hard to be turning inwards and working upon themselves. They're contented with their constipated lives, and that's never long-lasting, but we can't make everyone understand this. Better that they themselves understand it with their own experiences someday
@@shrij9312 ...it's amazing how many people have made investments in their miseries
Exactly. Some people just love to suffer and blame everyone else around. And talking about mental health is like a fashion!
But if you ask them to take a step, they are always ready with drama and excuse.
You’re absolutely right, Anjali and Shri. Oftentimes it takes such a severe shock like a near death experience and temporarily leaving the body to accelerate the will to desire true growth and improvement within. Such was the case with myself. Until then, until one stops seeing the within and the without as separate they will continue with the addiction to ego and self inflicted pain unfortunately. Have had similar experiences with just trying to introduce basic breath meditation practices to my friends and loved ones and not even IE. Until a being truly wants it and realizes they do there is no help for them in IE or any other such guidance.
You are speaking PURE FACTS with this video, so refreshing to hear this!
I think I am currently in that mode of " I'll CONVINCE WHOLE WORLD TO MEDITATE " and score is 0 : 7 billion... I really need mature out of this... Anyways Loved the video 👍😊
Thank you 😊
What u told is 100% true, I forced my friends so much and pushed them to the IE classes by paying the fees bt they have taken it lightly , I even paid fees for bhavaspandana programme for my frnd ,at the end he didn't attend the programme ,tried convincing so much but at the end of the day somewhere I feel that I am loosing myself just imposing things on them . thank u love from Karnataka
I can feel you

You can only attend 2nd program if you have attended the 1st one
And 2nd program is a part of 1st program.

Trust me what they are providing cannot be compared with money, just go for it you won't regret.
Thanks for mentioning me in this video🤗🤗. I also really needed to hear this as initially i had also done a lot to convince people that they should do it but was not wise enough like you to realise it fast that, thats not how it works. Keep inspiring shatoo😍😍😍
You too. 😊
Well vaisakh Anna she was not the only one who watched your video before doing in an engineering there was me and I don't know how many more people were there like me and it's wonderful that you just did inner engineering I guess few months before me and yet you made the video you shared your experience which really help otherwise I may not have done it thank you so much , by the grace of sadhguru I am still able to continue my practice and I think I have become more matured then what I was approximately 4 years ago so thank you once again 🙏
Inner engineering is a great way to practice and out come is wonderful
I think Sadguru is great. I have done the inner engineering and it brought a lot of focus into my life. Sadhguru suggests common sense solutions.
Nothing said against him can change my view about him!!
Goodness, you're adorable! I so appreciate this message. As someone who's been seeking paths of healing and self-improvement for years and experienced wonderful benefits from Hatha Yoga and other modalities, I've learned that you cannot push anyone into anything. People come to things if and when they're ready. They might see that you've changed and grown as a person and want to try out what's working for you, and maybe it will work for them. But the truth is, the yogic path - or zen, or whatever - takes a commitment that doesn't resonate with people unless THEY are ready and want it.
Even if you convince someone to do Inner Engineering or pay for their course, it's still a good deal of time invested over the 7 days and especially the marathon weekend. Better to do our own thing and hope it encourages others to pursue the path that works best for them.
I've been practicing Shambhavi for several weeks and I totally get it. The change in my mental and energetic state is a beautiful thing!
Hi Shato, I used to watch your videos back then as I was hesitating to subscribe to IE. I was curious about Sadhguru but a part of me was still afraid to jump into Isha Yoga, afraid of what people would think (living in western Europe), and not sure that yoga would be really helpful. But your videos and Vaisu's ones helped me to go for it. Today, I am doing Shambhavi, Surya Krya and Angamardana. So : thank you ! 🙏
Definitely Vaisakh anna and Shato akka have helped lot of people to take up IE and walk upon the spiritual path. Also, similar group of people help you stay focused with your sadhana. 🙏❤️
Girl I relate to this so much. I would spend my time explaining to everyone why experience in the spiritual field is more important than what they "think". I used to get so frustrated with these anti-Sadhguru people with no spiritual experience whatsoever talking like they know everything like they're mystics😂 but I've learnt it the hard way that their time will come too when they will start seeking maybe in a few years or a few lifetimes. I don't need to push them. They have their own pace. I'm so peaceful now. Everytime I get frustrated with this I just tell myself, their good time will come too when they'll find their Guru and they'll seek. 😌🙏 Thank you Shato
I think as we progress in our spiritual journey, we kind of lose the compulsive need to justify. That’s the most beautiful part of this program
My experience with meditation was exactly similar- what I have concluded is that spiritual uplifting is predestined- only the gifted ones tread on that path , no snobbery intended
You are not alone! I totally relate to this message. It is our personally journey and it’s hard for others to know understand. Thank you for sharing! Namaste 🙏🏻
Extremely good synopsis of people, their reactions to the program, and generally the way people act in general. I just completed my inner engineering course yesterday and look forward to the daily benefits of meditation and stretching. Anything that comes beyond that I'll be grateful for but it's not expected. Thank you for this video and thank you our Guru for giving love to the world.
This is the Youngest mature talk I h'v ever watched on RUclips...
'Not need to seek support, justification': that is ultimate freedom. Wow Shato.
he he.. I could not convince my family for inner engineering for like 6 years and then I left it to them, now they ask me about program, I tell them I don't know, search it on internet. Some of them attended the program later. So its about when they get dissatisfied enough of this life, it should be available if they need, but not forced feed it to them.
She clearly explained and nailed it 🙏
I'm so glad you understood my point.
There is a saying "you can take a cow to water but you can't make her drink" . It is like that with people too, they need to be ready for spiritual development. Sometimes people take a lot of bashing from the world before they are mature enough to understand what they really need.
You are very fortunate to find this path at a young age.
May everyone find peace and happiness in their lives ❤️
Inner engineering , and complition , Shambhavi Mahamudra are much bigger aspects of Isha , before that i got my life transformed by just the inner engineering book , Sadhguru s food book and isha kriya , I will be posting a video very soon about all the journey from being a dopehead to a Joyful being🙏🏻😊
Hi I’ve been initiated into Shambhavi 6 years back, and I practice it daily, it’s become a part of my very being and I totally agree with you . Your perspective about everything becomes sooo positive.
Did you practice every day? Or there is a day when you don't do?
Very Truly Expressed Shato. See How Beautiful it becomes when we just start with involvement and what we care for. Life Opens Up in unknown ways. Best Wishes.
Ramana Maharshi and Nisargadatta taught freely, I learned Buddha's teaching of basic principle of how mimd works - 4 mental aggregates. Sit and do nothing and inquiry who wants to move or feel bored. This brought awakening and partial enlightenment,
Shato your commentary sounds honest and real. It is true everything should come from within.
You are correct you don't need validation from anyone. AWAKEN TO YOUR ON TRUE SELF.
Namaskaram Shato🙏 I had watched Vaisakh's vlog on IE, listened to the IE audiobook and read IE prior to doing IE online in 2020 and then Shabavi in the first online initiation in Jan of 2021.
I have always been a seeker with an open mind and Sadhguru's self absorb personality does not bother me. My friends are too judgemental and cannot get passed his personality to tap into the wisdom behind it. The lips of the wise is sealed but to the ears of understanding.
I'm very grateful for his teaching and guidance. Thank you!
Namaskaram
I am much older to you. However you are very eloquent about Isha and Sadhguru including how it is being perceived by you and others. I have forwarded this to a younger beginner who I am guiding as well. This video will be very useful for someone who has a second thought about it. You are absolutely correct in saying that a person must decide to be in it. I tried with my kids but they think they are better people already. That is fine and I know that time has not come for them to understand about the truth of inclusiveness ❤️🙏🏻
I really liked IE and it was very useful.I encourage everyone to use it but don't expect result overnight.
It’s very very true. It’s better not to force anyone. Coz it will not work according to their plans and expectations for sure.
u r so so so ryt. we dont need any isha people to support us. We have sadhguru, Devi and Universe and thats all matters!
Indian women are the most beautiful on the planet. Sorry I know this video is not about that. But seriously you all are 😍
I just returned home from Darshan and it was my first time in the Ashram with the Isha meditators. I felt so loved and at home with all those beautiful people and Sadhguru being there was truly special.
🙏🏼 Grateful for this channel. Been watching you for around a year.
Got initiated into Shambhavi 4 months back and able to keep up the daily sadhana. 💚
Thank you 😊
Namaskaram Shato!!! Hope you are doing well.
I feel the same way. I have seen how IE have changed my life. After IE i also learned hatha yoga...
Many of my friends complain that their life is full of miseries and other things. Earlier when I saw anyone in such a state i felt that I should ask them to do IE. But now i have stopped pushing people to do IE.
I think Spiritual thirst arise when there is enough pain in human and they seek solutions for it... And I also think that it is their karma that they are not inclined towards it...
Let me know what you think...

Ma! I remember mentioning on one of your videos that "this is just a phase".
Spiritual experiences gives you something that no one can give you, that's why you are extremely passionate to promote from where you got the experience.
Good that you have evolved
As you just said, the times has changed soo much that earlier there were no one to promote these for free on RUclips, now there are too many !
Just no sequence, randomly teaching steps !
I think i should go for it !!
Same,
Nobody can become enlighten, by following some rules or set of movements.
You are on a journey of your own.
After listenting to this video... I will restart my practices!!
Confidence is a bad substitute for clarity.
Your energy & enthusiasm proves it all...if any questioners asked questions with this much energy and enthusiasm we will see...
EXCELLENT in so many ways. Thank you.
Glad you understood my point. Thank you 🙏🏼
Akka no body can give you thumbs down because your videos gives us all information with too much smoothness.akka thanks for sharing things with such a good involvement 🤗
You frankly gave your opinion..... as you very stable... you can be HAPPY..
Hi I am from Kenya. It's very expensive for us to access it. Even if I sell everything I have including my home, i can't even afford to pay half of the money.
There is no one making money out of sharing their experience or talking about IE. we all share about IE coz we have experiences such wonderful benefits.
So yes let’s just show others through us .. our life must talk about it and many are today also enrolling and enjoying Shambhavi 🙏You are not alone we are with you 🙏
Incredible, well done Shato 👏 I hope many many people see this video. 🙏🏼🕉 Namaskaram
Thank you 😊
This is one of the best and most honest testimonies I've heard, I completely share this point of view. I subscribe to your channel.
Thank you. 😇
Haha... so relatable. Even among us who practice IE are at different levels of experience. That is why Sadhguru job is so challenging. Making each of us remove our investment in our identities and getting us conscious of the life that is really happening is like moving a mountain. It feels the same with Saving Soil, people nod in agreement of what I say but that is about it and then the slightly more enthusiastic ones say what can I do? And after that it is mostly silence and inaction where their norm daily activities will still take precedence and resume as usual.
Hi Shato,
I have seen few videos of yours and just love the way you convey your message. Pure and Childlike. I did my Inner Engineering offline and it is best gift i gave to myself in 2023 . I learned few years back that speaking about meditation and spiritual self improvement practices to people around makes them cringe and i stopped discussing not for them but for the respect of the Sadhana and prefer to discuss with people who shows interest but not in detail as they might experience and explore a different dimension to what i feel.
But truly, you are doing a great job for people who are seeking to know more before stepping in and also for like-minded people who likes to enjoy listening you. God Bless you.
So true.. Amazing that you realised all this so early in life.
matured feeling. Randamly got this video
Great video Shato, truth and honesty always prevails. You helped me decide.
such a great soul you are. Keep Doing it. Be Happy and Spread Happiness
Well made video. You are young but you’ve said some very insightful things. Keep going.
No matter how much you try to let people know of what you have experienced, they won't or maybe it's their ego that doesn't want to surrender to the truth. it's a tough task. They are affected and surrounded by their thoughts and current understanding of the world. If they have ever thought once about the spirituality or question the nature of life, they would be open to learn and seek it. But, unfortunately a lot of us are in the state of the gloomy world and nobody wants to think beyond it (EAT. WORK. SLEEP. REPEAT). That's the power of MAYA (Illusion) i guess. But, it's always great to see people thinking beyond it and threading the spiritual path.
I also think sometimes that the people outside India (I don't mean Indians outside India) are more open to spirituality than Indians.
Even I stopped promoting the program to my friends and family because if time comes they will do it anyways.
Any sadhana & it's affects depend on the stage which you the creative spirit is in this lifetime.
that is why it called an 'initiation' not mentoring, training, coaching, prodding, pushing, boot-camp :-) Love to you Dear.
Even I have same question ...why the programme is paid with lots and lots of offers like a product... Why the people who are really poor to offord can't join the programme ...? Anyone answer for this please
I don't push others to do IE but always advertise how yoga and meditation helped me, hoping it will help them take the right step.
The thing "No need to justify anything to anyone" is the ultimate maturity, Enlightenment.
❤️❤️❤️

I Support sadhguru..🙏🏼
Shato thank you for this video. I am a month younger than Sadhguru, you are never too old to open your eyes to the universe. Inner engineering and Sadhguru have open my eyes to the universe around us and inside of us. when I was young I was like so many people around me and lived a negative life. I spend many years searching for God, only to discover that God lives in me and is never apart from me. this gives me a comfort that can't be explained, I live a blissful life now . I have discovered that a billion people believe like I do. I will be 65 in 30 days, do I want to go to heaven, no I want to get to know the love of my soul Hare Krishna Hare Rama. If our supreme Lord is never ending and has no bounds then the paths that lead to our lord have no bounds either. Everyday is such a blessing and joy, it does not matter where I am . Thank you Sadhguru Thank you Isha
Well said! Having the right tools to practice IE is like flying with the best pilot. And that INCREDIBLE pilot is SADHGURUI!!!
Thank you for your positive insight and feedback. I'm glad that you were able to brush away those negative people and comments. Or just to let you know you are not alone. We're all in the spiritual path together.
Keep up your Vlogs! love them., honest, clear, concise and not bullshit 🙂
Really happy to hear your perspective on IE akka.. what you call immature I m currently doing thag.. and I have realised it but was not able to accept or apply it in my life.. but this seems to be a signal and I should grab this opportunity of learning from your experience rather than doing the same mistakes..thank you ! But this thought also come in my mind that sadhguru after being with all kinds of people still wanted to transform them in every possible way so why should we stop ..this this seems not working this at all still..
Would love to hear your views on it 😊😄🙏☺️☺️
It's not like you should stop talking about it. Spread the message, but don't waste you time convincing someone that this is the right thing to do.

You r giving a very right direction.
Super Thanks to you,
Thank you so much for your support 😊
You are great. sadhguru is not fake he is guide in this world to reach spiritual path.
Very good assessment. Thank you very much for putting Isha in the right perspective.
You made some very good points on this video. Thanks for your clarity and perspectives
Thank you, this just popped up and its what I really needed to hear right now. ❤
Wish that every house on this planet have meditators who r fully committed ❤️
I did inner engineering after watching your videos today I was initiated into Shambhavi Mahamudra. So grateful that I found your videos and did inner engineering.
🥰😀
Shato Ji, it's enlightening. Continue your path and sathana..
While watching ur vedio my breath is different.🙏
I hope you are talking about good breathing. Not suffocation 😄
What you have said is true Shato! Its an experience which you can’t explain or force someone to do it. When I started I didn’t even know I was doing it right/properly. But when I look back, I am a better version of myself. And you can only explain it to people who are open minded to see something from a different perspective, and those people find it themselves usually.
I want to do this course but I have no enough money.
I can literally see the changes in u over time...😂😂
That's the power of practice and initiation, but unfortunately there are only few who understands it.
Love from Bhutan 💚💚💚🙏
Thank you 🙏
I thought this was another negative blabber from someone who hasn't experienced Isha deeply.😅
Thank you for sharing your wisdom❤
Good video, Shato. I can totally relate to the fact that it has to come from within and one cannot be convinced by someone else to follow a spiritual process. Thanks for sharing. Namaskaram, Govind
Thank you. It feels good when someone understands my point. 🙏🏼
