Sadhguru would be conducting 3-day Inner Engineering Program at BKC, Bandra from 16th (friday evening 6.30 to 9.30 pm) and 17th & 18th December 2011.(saturday & sunday - 2 full days). This is a wonderful opportunity for all Mumbaites and particularly, senior citizens.

To know how Inner Engineering Program works, Pls click the link below :


Isha Foundation is a non-religious, not-for-profit, public service organization, which addresses all aspects of human well - being. Our approach has gained worldwide recognition and is reflected in Isha Foundation's special consultative status with the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) of the United Nations.

Sadhguru, the founder of Isha Foundation, is a realised master, mystic and a yogi. He is routinely invited to speak at the world's most prominent international leadership forums such as the World Economic Forum.

In an endeavour to offer non denominational tools for inner well - being, a powerful Isha Kriya is being offered, to introduce people to the magic of their inner nature. Sadhguru’s wish is that every single human being on this planet should have at least one drop of spirituality in their life. And with the advent of modern technology, this possibility – this Isha Kriya can be spread to the whole world in one shot.

‘Kriya’ literally means internal action, while ‘Isha’ refers to that which is the source of creation. The whole purpose of Isha Kriya is to get in touch with the source of your existence, in order to create your life the way that you want it.

It is a free, simple yet powerful tool, with almost no other requirements than involvement. It has the potential to transform the life of anyone who gives it a few minutes a day.

We invite you to experience the transformative power of this simple Kriya for yourself.

Physical morbidity in elderly people has an important influence on their psychological well-being leading to a substantial burden of psychiatric disorders.

This morbid population has a significant association with exposure to more recent stressful life events.
