In his authorised biography, Sadhguru: More Than a Life, Jaggi Vasudev claims that after his enlightenment on Chamundi Hill, he recognised Vijji, not his wife at the time, as his sister from his previous life, when he was a sadhu named Sadhguru Sri Brahma. He says he left home to live as a naked sadhu, leaving his sister's affection unfulfilled, so she was reborn in this life to be with him again as his wife.

An article published in French newspaper Le Monde on 7th August 2026 titled “Sadhguru, le gourou numérique qui assume d’« élever la conscience humaine » à travers d’autres voies” calls Sadhguru’s empire ‘controversial’ and outlines four major controversies linked to him.

The article has covered the following four controversies around Sadhguru:

- His wife Vijji’s death in 1997 and the questions around it

- Alleged violations of laws and the elephant corridor in building the Coimbatore ashram

- Allegations of sexual assault by people associated with the Isha ashram

- Allegations of financial opacity at the Isha Foundation

Sadhguru’s first visit to Bihar was completely eclipsed by public fury over Isha Foundation’s takeover of a Patna crematorium on a ₹1-per-year lease. The crematorium was built by the government at taxpayers’ expense for ₹89 crore. His satsang drew just over 5,000 people, but the reported ₹3,500 cremation charges triggered widespread outrage across the state and among Bihar natives worldwide.

Major regional media led with the “VIP crematorium” story rather than the spiritual programme. On X, YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook, leading Bihar journalists, influencers, and YouTubers slammed the privatization of last rites, while opposition leaders joined the attack, demanding answers from the government.

The visit was ruined. Instead of celebrating Bihar’s vibrant spiritual legacy, the entire narrative around Sadhguru’s visit was dominated by the crematorium controversy. What should have been a spiritual homecoming turned into a major PR disaster, leaving Sadhguru looking totally out of touch with Bihar’s ground realities.
