In his first public appearance since the devastating flash floods along the Nepal-Tibet border, Sadhguru pledged ₹1 crore to Nepal’s Prime Minister Disaster Relief Fund at the “In Solidarity With Nepal” event in Kathmandu. More importantly, he urged the five Himalayan nations — India, China, Nepal, Bhutan and Pakistan — to rise above political boundaries and come together to protect the mountains that sustain us all.
“The mountains don’t know your political affiliation,” Sadhguru said. “They don’t care what language you speak or which flag you wave. If we continue to treat the Himalayas as separate problems belonging to separate nations, we will never find a real solution. The mountains must be looked at as one living body that needs to be protected for the sake of future generations.”
He pointed out that the recent disaster — where a massive portion of glacial ice collapsed — was beyond anything any single nation, especially a small one like Nepal, could handle alone. What is required now, he stressed, is not just relief but a shared sense of responsibility.
Sadhguru also reminded everyone that such tragedies should not be reduced to mystical explanations. “Physical phenomena are ruled by physical laws,” he said. “We should not belittle human suffering by offering philosophies or divine reasons. Let us respond with clarity and compassion.”
On a deeper note, he reminded the gathering that awareness of mortality is the first step to living sensibly. “As a human being, you should not wait for disasters to happen. If you are continuously conscious that you are mortal, you will plan and live your life in the most sensible way possible.”
As a gesture of support for those who lost their lives, Sadhguru announced that the Kala Bhairava Karma ritual would be performed at the Isha Yoga Center in Coimbatore to bring ease to the departed.
The message was clear: the Himalayas are not just geography — they are a shared living presence. Protecting them requires us to move beyond borders and act as one.
