Modern Jesus

Few days back, I saw parts of Maha Shivratri event live from Isha foundation. I have seen few other videos of Sadhguru before. After watching the event, I am starting to see emergence of Sadhguru as modern Jesus. This is a period of big change in the world where there is talk of possible world war 3, we are just passing through Covid as well and lot of other changes in the society are speeding up. ESG concepts are slowly and surely gaining ground. 5 years back, no one would have thought of ESG movement resulting in board level changes in big oil company in US. There are vegan banks coming up. So this period is surely going to command special mention in history when looked upon 50-100 years later. Some of the changes will survive and some won't. But the change is visible. One of the change talked about in Maha Shivratri event is SaveSoil movement. Sadhguru is starting a long bike ride to bring awareness towards goals of saving the soil. This is totally part of ESG efforts that entire world needs. There is lot of acceptance of this effort across color/geography/religion. Apart from the SaveSoil, if you discard/disbelief everything that Sadhguru talks about, you can hardly discount the travel and his age. He surely is very healthy and everyone wants what he has to talk about health. The Maha Shivratri event had live viewership cross 120 million across the digital platforms. So, he has the attention of world, he has ESG on his side and his health mantra as his biggest sales pitch.  If someone is a follower of Sadhguru, they will have a lot more to add in his favor. I am just putting down basic minimum that works for him. In a world that is questioning the religion, national boundaries, he is surely emerging as new Jesus with ESG and health practices defining the basic minimum of a new version of religion. He has claimed few times that none of the typical gods had the kind of outreach he has, thanks to social media. Every God had fellowship and resistance. He gets fair share of both. I think the chances of people talking about the lucky people of 2ks who saw Sadhguru live are pretty high. I will be watching him transform to that role.
