Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev broke down in tears while speaking about the tragic Nepal floods.
He announced that 80 people from his Isha Foundation group were lost after a massive flash flood hit the Nepal-Tibet border.
The group was returning from the Kailash Mansarovar pilgrimage. They were at an immigration centre in Gyirong, Tibet, when floodwaters suddenly hit the building. The centre was washed away within seconds.
Sadhguru said the group included 34 men and 46 women. Three volunteers and a doctor were also with them.
He said the group leader had sent a message at 9:05 am saying they had reached immigration. “Then, this happened at 9.14 am,” he said.
He struggled to continue speaking as followers around him cried. Sadhguru said, “This is a terrible and extraordinary event.” He also said, “Looking at the scale of destruction, it looks bad.”
He explained that there was still no official confirmation about the group. “We have received no official confirmation of any kind so far,” he said.
He also said phones were not working and roads were blocked, making rescue efforts difficult.
The emotional video has now drawn widespread attention online. Sadhguru appealed for permission to travel to Gyirong with volunteers and help with rescue efforts.
The devastating floods have left hundreds dead and more than 1,300 people missing across Nepal and Tibet.
Sadhguru is a well-known spiritual teacher who has gained millions of followers across the world.
Seeing him break down in tears deeply moved many people and made the heartbreaking moment even more emotional.
