More than 2,000 youth ambassadors actively promoted the importance of mental well-being while introducing Miracle of Mind guided meditation to help the general public boost their mental health. Currently, the meditation app has over 2.5 million active users globally.
Over 10,000 defence personnel around the country learnt yogic practices such as Yoga Namaskar and Nadi Shuddhi. More than 2,500 free sessions were held nationwide.
Marking the occasion, Sadhguru shared on X, “Yoga is a system that gives you the freedom to create a life of Conscious choice, a life that is not enslaved to compulsive thought & action. It is only when you are able to transcend compulsiveness by becoming Conscious that your physical and mental wellbeing can be entirely determined by you.”
Guided by Sadhguru, Isha Foundation has been offering the ancient science of yoga in its purest form for over 30 years. With the support of 17 million volunteers across 400 centres worldwide, the Foundation’s initiatives address every dimension of human well-being.
