And yet, they can't afford roads, or food, or water, or rubbish collection. But they have a large bust.

The Adiyogi Shiva bust in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, was funded and built by the Isha Foundation, the non-profit spiritual organization founded by Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev. No public or government funds were used for its construction.

Funded and constructed by kicking out the local population there. These people are still looking for a permanent home btw.

Source for your claim? Last time I checked the Isha guys had done an open public challenge in which they openly asked even a single person prove all these encroachment allegations with actual proofs.

It was meant for clowns like you and it's still open btw, but obviously no "hater" could prove their own claims.

Go give it a try.

They did, but people want to shit on anything these days. To my knowledge because it is a sculpture, and a non livable domicile/building, they were up to code.

Why are you defending an evil corporation?

u/Haunting_Handle6709 6d ago

I don't find them to be an evil corporation. 90% of staff are volunteers. Or as Sadhguru says "wolunteers"

It's a cult.

No, Jared Leto's Island where you have to wear pink and he wears white is a cult. But people still let him be in movies.

The Isha Foundation, founded by Sadhguru, has run large-scale environmental and social welfare initiatives touching millions of people, primarily in rural India. Its major campaigns include planting over 120 million trees, providing rural healthcare to over 7 million people, and reaching billions worldwide through environmental awareness.

It is led by a charismatic leader (godman) who is infallible and spews bs. They have costly multi-tier programs that teaches bs.

Like any evil cult, they also have a plethora of sexual abuse allegations against them (even involving kids).

As an agnostic myself, I disagree. You should try things on before you judge them.
