The Most Sophisticated Mechanism Sadhguru’s Latest Talks in England

28 May, 2010

Public Talk, Nottingham

Famed for its historical association with the Robin Hood legend and Sherwood Forest, Nottingham was offered a rare treat on Sunday, 25 April. For his first visit to the city, Sadhguru came to The Belgrave Rooms for a talk on “Technologies for Peace and Inner Wellbeing.” With his wicked sense of humor, piercing logic and crystal clarity, Sadhguru captivated an audience of over 500 people with insightful questions, stories and anecdotes designed to lead them to a new level of personal potential. He gently exposed the shortcomings of our loyalty to ways of being and doing that inhibit our capacity for joyfulness, peace and equanimity, and then explained in simple scientific terms how we could achieve all of that and more if we could simply master our life energies.

Following the immensely positive response to the talk, Isha is offering the first Inner Engineering program in Nottingham, thus expanding Isha’s activities in the UK beyond the boundaries of London and Birmingham.

Leadership Talk, Knightsbridge, London

On 26 April, over 70 distinguished guests had the chance to spend their evening with Sadhguru in the ballroom of one of London’s most exclusive hotels, the Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park, overlooking the royal park and Knightsbridge area. In this private talk entitled “Inner Engineering, technologies for wellbeing,” Sadhguru addressed a diverse and influential audience ranging from top executives, CEOs, directors and environmentalists to prominent musicians, artists, actors and designers. Revealing the intricacies of being human and how to access the full potential of who we are, he said, “This is the most sophisticated mechanism on the planet. This body and this brain are the most sophisticated machines on the planet. You are very excited about the new iPad, or the computer or the spacecraft, but all these things are just small happenings out of this one, isn’t it? And this will come up with many more. But the problem is, you got a great machine without a keypad.” Expounding on the solution to this, Sadhguru said, “Now I am talking about a technology through which you create the right kind of chemistry, that if you sit here, your chemistry is blissfulness. So, if this [referring to oneself] is blissful, you are empowered to do whatever you want in the world. Now you are no more compelled to be in a particular way. Now you are free to act in whichever way you want because you are not in pursuit of happiness.” This first initiative for a leadership talk in the UK has introduced Sadhguru to a wide new group of people, many of whom are looking forward to receiving and experiencing the tools for inner wellbeing and taking their lives to a higher level of existence.
