Sadguru Emphasizes Mountain Unity Over Politics in Post‑Flood Appeal

During the “Solidarity with Nepal” program, Sadguru Jaggi Vasudev delivered a message that placed the Himalayas above national agendas. He pointed out that the mountain range does not care about the languages spoken by governments or the disputes that dominate headlines. The recent disaster, which saw a massive glacier fragment plunge four thousand feet and trigger catastrophic flooding, underscored the need for a cooperative framework.

The spiritual leader proposed a Himalayan Board comprising India, China, Pakistan, Nepal and Bhutan, urging the countries to view the mountain range as a shared heritage that demands collective stewardship. He argued that treating the calamity as a solely Nepalese issue will stall effective mitigation, especially when the scale of the flood exceeded any prior forecasts.

Sadguru also addressed the human dimension, reminding the audience that awareness of mortality should inspire better planning and responsible living. He dismissed supernatural explanations for the flood, emphasizing that natural laws, not mysticism, drive such phenomena. The event featured actress Manisha Koirala, who asked about lessons from the tragedy; Sadguru answered that proactive preparedness and respect for the physical world are essential.

To conclude, Sadguru announced a “Kal Bhairav Karma” ceremony at the Isha Yoga Center in Coimbatore, designed to provide spiritual solace to families of the deceased and to reinforce the message that the mountains belong to all of humanity.
