US Surgeon General and Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev Address Loneliness and Mental Health

In a pivotal discussion at Harvard Medical School, Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev and US Surgeon General Vivek Murthy addressed the critical issue of loneliness as a mental health crisis. They emphasized the need for significant investment in human transformation to tackle this growing problem. Sadhguru asserted that loneliness acts as an ‘incubation period for mental illness’, often stemming from an individual's family dynamics, which have become destabilized.

The Conscious Planet Movement, launched by Sadhguru, aims to elevate human consciousness and will soon introduce an app that provides access to Yogic tools for personal well-being. Murthy shared alarming statistics on loneliness, revealing it increases heart disease risk by 29% and stroke risk by 31%, urging society to rethink personal and collective success in light of these challenges.
