Isha Foundation

Guided by Sadhguru's vision, Isha Foundation is an outcome of the love and dedication of hundreds of thousands of volunteers around the world.

"Our lives become beautiful not because we are perfect. Our lives become beautiful because we put our heart into what we are doing." - Sadhguru

Never in history has humanity been as comfortable yet as insecure as it is now. Advancements in physical sciences and technologies have resulted in greater prosperity, but a sense of personal fulfillment and joy is tragically absent. The sacred science of yoga is a powerful possibility to experience the inner dimensions of life that give us the energy, passion and insights for a state of boundless joy.

The word Isha means the formless primordial source of creation and Isha Foundation, a non-profit organization founded by Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev, plays a vital role in the well-being of the individual and the world. Set up as a non-political and non-religious organization, Isha Foundation does not promote any particular ideology, religion, race, but transmits inner sciences of universal appeal.

Isha Foundation functions through over 150 centers worldwide. Empowered by over a quarter of million volunteers, the Foundation is engaged in initiating multitudes into the science of inner well-being. In addition, it has also pioneered several renowned initiatives for world peace, outreach programs for life-term prisoners, destitute children, and embattled women. Also initiated are several projects to serve as models for rural upliftment (Action for Rural rejuvenation), education reform (Isha Educational Initiative), environmental stewardship, and holistic and healthy living of the Indian people.

Driven by a sense of oneness, love, and a deep longing to reach out and share, Isha endeavors are entirely an outcome of the selfless dedication and the spirited efforts of its volunteers. Spread around the world and belonging to different nationalities and regions, this melting pot of cultures serves as a model for a new paradigm of humanity.
