Isha Foundation is an international nonprofit dedicated to human wellbeing founded by Sadhguru who’s a yogi, mystic and a visionary. As Sadhguru has said, “right now the most important thing in the world is raising human consciousness. Tremendous technologies have come. The problem is not of technology. The problem is of compulsiveness. When we say compulsiveness, it’s just absence of consciousness. If we were conscious human beings, we would use everything for our wellbeing and everybody’s wellbeing.”
