Overview

  • In a conversation during his motorcycle journey to Mount Kailash, Sadhguru told actor R. Madhavan he chose the ride despite recovering from a subdural hematoma.
  • He quipped, “When the head is broken, I thought it’s best to put it in Shiva’s lap,” when asked why he opted for a perilous, rain-soaked route by bike.
  • Sadhguru recounted that a second head injury occurred at home when he ran into a glass door after a monkey scare at his pool, leading to scans that showed massive bleeding outside the brain and below the bone.
  • He said doctors had warned he could die during a prolonged illness that included 12 weeks of fever, and he described feeling renewed on a previous visit to Kailash.
  • He noted he has long visited the region but in recent years could only reach near Lake Mansarovar from the Nepal side because China closed direct access to Kailash.
