Sadhguru on Motorbike: Kailash Yatra Begins Amid India-China Thaw

New Delhi,  Marking a significant step in India-China ties, the Kailash Yatra route through Tibet has reopened after five years, allowing Indian pilgrims to once again undertake the sacred journey.

In a historic move, Sadhguru, Founder of the Isha Foundation, embarked on this year’s Yatra to Mount Kailash on a motorbike, despite having undergone two major brain surgeries last year. His 17-day journey is being hailed as a testament to the power of yoga and resilience.

Along the way, Sadhguru engaged in conversations with celebrities like Kangana Ranaut, R. Madhavan, Indian cricketer Varun Chakravarthy, and filmmaker Nag Ashwin. Speaking to Ashwin, he emphasized: “The best things in life should happen sooner rather than later. Spirituality is not for the end of life—it should begin at the earliest.”

When Kangana asked what Shiva means to him, Sadhguru replied with a smile: “I sit on his shoulders, so everything is fine.” Meanwhile, in conversation with R. Madhavan, he described Kailash as “the greatest mystical library on the planet and the known universe.”

Sadhguru also highlighted the importance of regional cooperation, remarking: “Geographically congruent nations must come together… function geographically as one unit, even if politically separate.”
