Shato your videos were among the only available with clear information on the Inner Engineering program. Really awesome to hear from a participant before I decided to do the program. I am 2 years in, and added Surya Kriya and Bhuta Shuddi to my practice. I dont promote it unless it comes up organically. If I am a shining light then people will notice and ask what is my secret! Thank you for your videos!

Believers are in group, seekers are alone. Sadhguru

Shato you touched my heart, It’s been more than 1 year, when I see people around me crying for just about anything I feel sad. So I am always telling people to do inner Engineering because you and I know that It's a miracle in our lives, but I am tired now because no one can help them until they ask for it, you cannot force someone to do it, and now I understand why indian yogis keeps their mouth shut because they know everybody has their own journey.

Did IE January, 2019 in Delhi.... within 6 months almost 90% of my friends stopped talking to me like the way they used to...few of them complained why m I ruining my life. As you said I started to justify myself, IE, spirituality, Isha and moreover Sadhguru. But gradually came to understand that there is no use of it. Specially after shoonya everything seems ok rather good.... because now I understand that spirituality is not for everyone.....so let's concentrate on being happy happy 🥰😀.....I can relate myself with each and every word of this video 😊😊

Prefect video! Even I have gone through this . Stopped convincing by friends to do inner engineering few months ago 🙏🏻🙏🏻😄

Shambhavi is very powerful. I kept doing it without any expectations. After 1 year I started experiencing incredible things. Thanks to my Guru🙏

Confidence is a bad substitute for clarity.

This is so relatable Shato!! I also had one of my friends who was going through a bad phase & I was so impatient & naive to pass on this course to her, saying that all her problems shall be solved after this program, without even realizing the intention she had behind doing this, her intention wasn't to change herself, it was to change someone else, and she didn't even bother to complete the 7 day online sessions. Since then I've sworn by never to suggest this to anyone. People must do this by themselves & not by somebody's suggestion. Unless they realize that it's them who need to change, this program won't be transforming for them. Also I realized it later that it's important to just let the transformation happen in ourselves first, without any expectations, then the practice works wonderfully within. And you spoke my words, when we have the universe's back, we don't need to care what anyone thinks or talks about us. It's mostly we who come in our own way & that's what we have to prevent always by staying in touch with the truth❤

Didi, It’s the same realization I’m having. I was referring the IE program to my colleagues, but I realized they like to talk about spirituality, but when it comes to practice/learning something significant, they don’t move a bit 😅 I thought I’m the person who couldn’t able to convince others, but through your video I realized It’s not me, it’s them🙏

❤🧡💛💚💙💜 Thank you Shato! Great video!

Hi Shato, I used to watch your videos back then as I was hesitating to subscribe to IE. I was curious about Sadhguru but a part of me was still afraid to jump into Isha Yoga, afraid of what people would think (living in western Europe), and not sure that yoga would be really helpful. But your videos and Vaisu's ones helped me to go for it. Today, I am doing Shambhavi, Surya Krya and Angamardana. So : thank you ! 🙏

I was able to do this free about 4-5 years ago as a student and it changed my life. It gave me a new chance at life as I was suffering from a terrible illness that no doctors even understood. I was able to mitigate the symptoms and live a normal life like others and beyond. I had certain experiences that made me question everything I thought I knew about life and I never considered myself spiritual or religious. It really is worth it but I also did not expect miracles or anything. I didn’t expect much to be frank but it helped me as I didn’t really have any more options left. I’m here at 32 and I didn’t expect to live to be 30. I have no regrets 🙏🏽

Very Truly Expressed Shato. See How Beautiful it becomes when we just start with involvement and what we care for. Life Opens Up in unknown ways. Best Wishes.

Girl I relate to this so much. I would spend my time explaining to everyone why experience in the spiritual field is more important than what they "think". I used to get so frustrated with these anti-Sadhguru people with no spiritual experience whatsoever talking like they know everything like they're mystics😂 but I've learnt it the hard way that their time will come too when they will start seeking maybe in a few years or a few lifetimes. I don't need to push them. They have their own pace. I'm so peaceful now. Everytime I get frustrated with this I just tell myself, their good time will come too when they'll find their Guru and they'll seek. 😌🙏 Thank you Shato

Hey yall guess what, this video really woke me up.Honestly I still have doubts and am risking it here but am going to purchase the inner engineering course and I don't what to expect but thank you for letting me know not to have any super high unrealistic expectations because that will leave me disappointed, there's a lot of stuff going in my life and I want to change my life and my perception of life, perhaps this is the first step towards true transformation as an 18 year old broke boy with no money and a chaotic unfulfilled life with a dysfunctional family 👪 . This is a huge leap of faith for me and I hope it all works out one way or the other I hope after this that I'll be a better individual altogether. 😁

Definitely Vaisakh anna and Shato akka have helped lot of people to take up IE and walk upon the spiritual path. Also, similar group of people help you stay focused with your sadhana. 🙏❤️

What you have said is true Shato! Its an experience which you can’t explain or force someone to do it. When I started I didn’t even know I was doing it right/properly. But when I look back, I am a better version of myself. And you can only explain it to people who are open minded to see something from a different perspective, and those people find it themselves usually.

You are speaking PURE FACTS with this video, so refreshing to hear this!

Thanks for mentioning me in this video🤗🤗. I also really needed to hear this as initially i had also done a lot to convince people that they should do it but was not wise enough like you to realise it fast that, thats not how it works. Keep inspiring shatoo😍😍😍

You are absolutely right Shato ... people only hear what they want to hear ... they are not interested in Truth, they are interested in their version of Truth. Mostly people are in their head instead of experiencing it!! but you keep doing what you are doing!! Thank you for the videos!!

Wonderful to hear this.I feel like this about the Heartfulness path and totally get everything you say.🙏🌹🌹

I did IE online end of last year,and before signing up I tried finding out more about it. That's when I came across your channel. I also.watched 2 to 3 other review and then just signed up. I realised that I got called to suddenly do IE from nowhere at all,and there must be a reason. It changed my mindset to a huge degree, its quite hard to explain in words what changed in me,but its life changing. Always nice to see your videos.

You are not alone! I totally relate to this message. It is our personally journey and it’s hard for others to know understand. Thank you for sharing! Namaste 🙏🏻

🙏🏼 Grateful for this channel. Been watching you for around a year. Got initiated into Shambhavi 4 months back and able to keep up the daily sadhana. 💚

I did Inner Engineering almost same time as you did. I think I saw your videos then for just a review. Now I remember. Things moved so good after Inner Engineering so good that I am completely immersed in my life. I have achieved my everlasting target of my life miraculously. And now I have plenty of time only to focus on what I am interested in and that which I love to do.

Love your videos and specially this one. It comes straight from your heart and touches mine 🥰 it’s true that the spiritual journey is a lone journey. People donot relate or understand us. But the Isha community feels like family and always supporting each other. Yes we have Sadhguru’s blessings and whenever we need any support just reach out to another Isha meditator. Will love to meet you sometime Shato ❤️☺️

Hi Shato, I have seen few videos of yours and just love the way you convey your message. Pure and Childlike. I did my Inner Engineering offline and it is best gift i gave to myself in 2023 . I learned few years back that speaking about meditation and spiritual self improvement practices to people around makes them cringe and i stopped discussing not for them but for the respect of the Sadhana and prefer to discuss with people who shows interest but not in detail as they might experience and explore a different dimension to what i feel. But truly, you are doing a great job for people who are seeking to know more before stepping in and also for like-minded people who likes to enjoy listening you. God Bless you.

Great video Shato, truth and honesty always prevails. You helped me decide.

Thank you, this just popped up and its what I really needed to hear right now. ❤

Shato its exactly what you mention: - Keep on doing the practice without any expactation. I´ve been doin the practice for 9 ears and now today after all these years I am amazed and speachless what it is and what it does. Its a complete package to liberation. How much time does it take to get enlightened / liberated? Actually even the smalest step is an improvement but the problem with that is that we dont have limitless amount of time in one lifespan. And during one liftime people tend to add more entaglement than untanglement so the effect is often in reverse. In reality it should not take time. But it takes time because you do not give in all at once; you give in by installments. So whether you want to go by small installments and take 100 lifetimes, or you want to do it today is your choice. How long it takes simply depends on how intense is your longing to know. - For those who don´t resonate with it... they´ll taka another road that´s simple as that. But will it bee as efficient as Shambhavi Mahamudra - probably not from a general mass perspective. There might be one in hundreds of millions who get there by accident... but are there realy accidents ;-)

Yeah, your experience in the spiritual path seems almost the same as mine. In fact, many from the new generation would agree to having had such experiences, is my humble opinion. The rush of a new feeling in one's spirit drives the person to share it with others. Something that connects us with one another and ultimately with the divine, seems to have great following. But once the mission is accomplished, it seems to us that we are one among all, which was probably pretty much the craving inside us. So, we mellow down and that certainly is a sign of maturity. This has been my personal experience too. The masters are all very well aware of such happenings, hence whether we are vocal about our experiences or not, they are absolutely cool. All they make sure is that we don't get crossed with ourselves. With such people around, who have sacrificed their lives for our sake, we shall certainly reap the maximum benefits possible. A vlog that many would relate to. Thanks again.

Thank you so much. This brought a lot of peace and validation for me. I have been on a similar journey. There's no need to coerce or encourage people to do Inner Engineering. If someone really shows interest or openness, we can tell them it's worth it. Rest is on us, where we will go, how we will be :)

Thank you for your positive insight and feedback. I'm glad that you were able to brush away those negative people and comments. Or just to let you know you are not alone. We're all in the spiritual path together.

You made some very good points on this video. Thanks for your clarity and perspectives

Thank you Shatoo 🙏🌸 You speaking my words.

Just loved all that you talked about here. It's a ditto feeling for me!!

I think I am currently in that mode of " I'll CONVINCE WHOLE WORLD TO MEDITATE " and score is 0 : 7 billion... I really need mature out of this... Anyways Loved the video 👍😊

Shato, every word of yours in this video resonated with me.. I do not want to put words into it as trying to describe a feeling in words often takes away the essence of it, but when you said that thing about being alone on the spiritual path with Sadhguru having shown the path and the Universe having my back, it was like someone actually projected my feelings in words. I often watch your videos but this is perhaps the first time it has touched me at a deeper level, felt like having something being told which is at the same wavelength as my inner space. It’s been 3 years for me as well since I started doing Shambhavi and just doing the Sadhana without having any expectations is like being on a journey of it’s own; on a daily basis if someone wants to evaluate the practice then it doesn’t seem of much consequence but having done it for 3 years (and still continuing) without missing a single day, has perhaps gradually transformed me as a person, I am definitely not what I was prior to starting Shambhavi, I have definitely matured more as and as I kept up with my practices, just like you said I don’t feel the need to explain anything to anyone but just let things and people be, they are all on their individual paths and I can’t coax them into doing something before (if at all) they are ready for it and if someone wishes to know something about Sadhguru then I am glad to tell them (unlike earlier when I would rather force people into watching Sadhguru‘s videos and coaxing them to do Inner Engineering, also would gladly pick up an argument if someone spoke negative about him or the Isha practices). In a nutshell if someone asks me about Inner Engineering, I tell them that for me my life can be divided into two parts: One part- before Inner Engineering and the other- After Inner Engineering. It’s as if I was living in a different world prior to it and now it’s a different world altogether in which I am living and this world seems more real than the previous one. Still, I know I have a lot to grow and outgrow spiritually but now atleast I am aware of it, prior to doing Inner Engineering I wasn’t even aware of all this that was going on inside me, I was on AutoPilot, now I know that I have the control in my hands. Namaskaram 🙏

Thank you. All the best in your journey.

Absolutely relatable that no one has to agree to you all the time, and one should not aim at always keeping everyone happy instead following to each their own works better to coexist peacefully.

a very great review but a greater reviewer!!! well done ... keep striving!

Very good assessment. Thank you very much for putting Isha in the right perspective.

Shato, wonderful commentary. Namaste

Really happy to hear your perspective on IE akka.. what you call immature I m currently doing thag.. and I have realised it but was not able to accept or apply it in my life.. but this seems to be a signal and I should grab this opportunity of learning from your experience rather than doing the same mistakes..thank you ! But this thought also come in my mind that sadhguru after being with all kinds of people still wanted to transform them in every possible way so why should we stop ..this this seems not working this at all still.. Would love to hear your views on it 😊😄🙏☺️☺️

Ma! I remember mentioning on one of your videos that "this is just a phase". Spiritual experiences gives you something that no one can give you, that's why you are extremely passionate to promote from where you got the experience. Good that you have evolved

Superb video. So on point ❤thank you 🙏🏼

Hola! Gracias por el vídeo. Voy en la segunda clase de ingeniería interior en línea. ❤️❤️

Hi I’ve been initiated into Shambhavi 6 years back, and I practice it daily, it’s become a part of my very being and I totally agree with you . Your perspective about everything becomes sooo positive.

True shato.even inwent to the class in 1998 without any expectations.i just joined to learn pranayama .but the joy i derived from it and my inner feelings cannot be explained.one has to experience it .all who have come under sadhguru are bkessed

You are absolutely not alone because I also went through/am going the same process you did and came to the same conclusions. You hammered quite a few nails on the head in this video. Now I don't feel like I'm the only one going through this process. Thank you so much for sharing this. 🧡🙏

very well -explained ! and great maturity and wisdom from one so young...👍👍

Incredible, well done Shato 👏 I hope many many people see this video. 🙏🏼🕉 Namaskaram

Brilliant !🙏 Please keep it up.🙏

Shato your commentary sounds honest and real. It is true everything should come from within.

Shato Ji, it's enlightening. Continue your path and sathana..

Thanks for the video shato🥳

You shared your experience and view in such a beautiful way. Superb video ! Keep it up.💛

You make me smile, you are so precious. Sending love and blessings your way 🙏🏻🦋🌑

EXCELLENT in so many ways. Thank you.

Keep up your Vlogs! love them., honest, clear, concise and not bullshit 🙂

Your energy & enthusiasm proves it all...if any questioners asked questions with this much energy and enthusiasm we will see...

Namaskaram Shato🙏 I had watched Vaisakh's vlog on IE, listened to the IE audiobook and read IE prior to doing IE online in 2020 and then Shabavi in the first online initiation in Jan of 2021. I have always been a seeker with an open mind and Sadhguru's self absorb personality does not bother me. My friends are too judgemental and cannot get passed his personality to tap into the wisdom behind it. The lips of the wise is sealed but to the ears of understanding. I'm very grateful for his teaching and guidance. Thank you!

Goodness, you're adorable! I so appreciate this message. As someone who's been seeking paths of healing and self-improvement for years and experienced wonderful benefits from Hatha Yoga and other modalities, I've learned that you cannot push anyone into anything. People come to things if and when they're ready. They might see that you've changed and grown as a person and want to try out what's working for you, and maybe it will work for them. But the truth is, the yogic path - or zen, or whatever - takes a commitment that doesn't resonate with people unless THEY are ready and want it. Even if you convince someone to do Inner Engineering or pay for their course, it's still a good deal of time invested over the 7 days and especially the marathon weekend. Better to do our own thing and hope it encourages others to pursue the path that works best for them. I've been practicing Shambhavi for several weeks and I totally get it. The change in my mental and energetic state is a beautiful thing!

Hi! I just wanted to thank you for this video. I have been wanting to do this for some time now... I'm glad I watched your video 1st though. I didn't realize I was setting up a possible strategy of self defeat as Sadhguru states in many videos. I probably would've kept watching reviews until I had some ridiculous expectation that would've shattered the experience for me. I'm 38 and time is short. Many thanks again!!!

I really respect Sadhguru because he helped me in the worst phase of my life when I was in severe depression so all I have is gratitude toward him but when I really explored the spirituality I realised there is more to it... Acharya Prashant is the one with finest clarity and explains things better .I am not at all comparing but that's the fact.

Namaskaram 🙏 akka .even this is same feeling for me also ..even after my inner engineering that's the amazing thing i experience in my life but when i seen people or suffering i use to give suggestions to do inner engineering but they start avoiding me and talk behind me but then when i come to ashram for shivratri from that day onwards i see things and i understand this is not my duty to say to people what it inner engineering,and wt is sadhguru ,and how isha .i start build my self ..then if people come and ask me then i try to tell them about free meditation then if they interested ..they will do .. because some people thing running behind money is wellbeing ..but after inner engineering..i got to know what it is wellbeing... 🙏🙏🙏🙏 Thanks to sadhuguru ..to giving this great tools for this generation humanity .. 🙏🙏

Your words are relatable. Thanks for sharing.

Ramana Maharshi and Nisargadatta taught freely, I learned Buddha's teaching of basic principle of how mimd works - 4 mental aggregates. Sit and do nothing and inquiry who wants to move or feel bored. This brought awakening and partial enlightenment,

Very true. It is a great way to start the day!

Well made video. You are young but you’ve said some very insightful things. Keep going.

Thanks for sharing your experience akka. I can totally relate with what you said. Keep it going! 😁🙏🏾

All that I can say is that I enjoy a lot your videos. You are very cool Shato 🌸😁. Greetings from Mexico

Namaskaram I am much older to you. However you are very eloquent about Isha and Sadhguru including how it is being perceived by you and others. I have forwarded this to a younger beginner who I am guiding as well. This video will be very useful for someone who has a second thought about it. You are absolutely correct in saying that a person must decide to be in it. I tried with my kids but they think they are better people already. That is fine and I know that time has not come for them to understand about the truth of inclusiveness ❤️🙏🏻

So true.. Amazing that you realised all this so early in life.

Great wisdom 🙏🏼

My experience with meditation was exactly similar- what I have concluded is that spiritual uplifting is predestined- only the gifted ones tread on that path , no snobbery intended

Well said! Having the right tools to practice IE is like flying with the best pilot. And that INCREDIBLE pilot is SADHGURUI!!!

Thank you Shato ❤️

Well said!!!! bless you!

the good one.....thsnks shato...

Shows your growth. Well done.

Namaskaram Shato, keeping doing your wonderful work. I think when people see the transformation in you, then people will start enquiring, its the time to share your experience . Especially when people are promoting many worthless things. Whats wrong in promoting, which can be beneficial and can bring transformation to the society. But it should never be forceful or with misinformation. Any Spiritual practice is not like an instant Maggie , it will only give result with time. People who complains about not getting any benefit in a short period of time are the ones, who takes yearly gym subscription but stop going after somedays, with some excuse or the other.

❤❤.. I could feel every word of yours.. The journey is really lonely n challenging...

What u told is 100% true, I forced my friends so much and pushed them to the IE classes by paying the fees bt they have taken it lightly , I even paid fees for bhavaspandana programme for my frnd ,at the end he didn't attend the programme ,tried convincing so much but at the end of the day somewhere I feel that I am loosing myself just imposing things on them . thank u love from Karnataka

Amazing sharing Amazing personality Wishing you well !

such a great soul you are. Keep Doing it. Be Happy and Spread Happiness

We're absolutely living our choices daily we made in our mind. And when no one chooses to see the light despite of someone helping them to see is the biggest problem ever. Because now they are asking for a lesson to learn the same thing from it. Still I've seen people who are not willing to work on themselves. And that's why people like us have to keep patience & peace with them and do our work simply. Because there are some people as well who actually does work if you tell them . ❤️

❤️❤️❤️ Onek bhalobasha janai from WB

Exactly my thoughts. Thanks n blessings to u dea.

Shato, intially, after seeing the title I thought this was going to be another video hating on Inner Engineering - but I wanted to see what points were against it, as I have found none really and I'm a HUGE skeptic. As I watched I learned it was NOTHING at all about what I thought. Your points are awesome and inline exactly with what guruji teaches. Namasakarm and thank you!

I love you! Thank you!

Hey your old videos ha e encouraged me to join inner engineering program,,thank you ,,never feel it didn't help ,,your efforts helped me

She clearly explained and nailed it 🙏

Beautifully explained!

'Not need to seek support, justification': that is ultimate freedom. Wow Shato.

Bravo,well said,stay bless and happy

Haha... so relatable. Even among us who practice IE are at different levels of experience. That is why Sadhguru job is so challenging. Making each of us remove our investment in our identities and getting us conscious of the life that is really happening is like moving a mountain. It feels the same with Saving Soil, people nod in agreement of what I say but that is about it and then the slightly more enthusiastic ones say what can I do? And after that it is mostly silence and inaction where their norm daily activities will still take precedence and resume as usual.

I think as we progress in our spiritual journey, we kind of lose the compulsive need to justify. That’s the most beautiful part of this program

Inner engineering is a great way to practice and out come is wonderful

Good video, Shato. I can totally relate to the fact that it has to come from within and one cannot be convinced by someone else to follow a spiritual process. Thanks for sharing. Namaskaram, Govind
