Thread: Came across this thread. Thought will add a ground-level perspective. When Sadhguru says he has not read the scriptures I understand it a bit differently. We live in the Palani region and Sadhguru SriBrahma is quite well known. You find his photos in several places+
(1/n) One of the biggest arguments some Hindus (especially trads) are using to discredit Sadhguru is the fact that he hasn’t read any scriptures. But what do actual rishis, yogis, & gurus of the past have to say on scriptural and theoretical knowledge? Here’s a thread 🧵

As long as Sanskrit is looked at as a mere language it will be treated like or even below BA Eng or BA Tamil. When it is looked at as a key to understanding the Indian Sciences and knowledge traditions then the view might change. But how to do that? I humbly accept I don't know.

Also added how Bharatiya Vijnana is not just about chanting verses but a deeply intellectual domain brought forth by Rishis who have done Tapasya to make complex knowledge systems accessible by all. Intellectual curiosity will surely by enhanced by exposure to the Indic Sciences

You know why Poha tastes so divine? Because the paddy is soaked in water dissolving the negativity and all the karmic impressions are beaten out of it making it light and satvic. 🙂🙂 ideal for sadhana
Know why poha tastes horrible?Because your rice grains were beaten,they were flattened.The soul has been sucked out of those rice grains.Poha lives with the signs of those injuries on the outside and gloom on the inside. You are consuming nothing but rice grains with added trauma
