It is this pursuit that fulfills the purpose of the human form and it is this pursuit that brings well-being to all life.” Sadhguru has composed a powerful two part program called Inner Engineering that is designed to instill a deep sense of inner balance, joy and mental clarity through self- awareness and meditation. The first portion is designed to be done at home at your own pace. The second is an invitation to learn a live process with Sadhguru this coming fall. Sadh- guru adds, “I want you to know the power, the liberation of another kind of science—the inner science—through which you can become the master of your own destiny.”
Inner Engineering is part of a non-profit program through the Isha Foundation. The second portion of the program will be conducted Nov 5-6th at the Garden State Exhibit Centre in Somerset, NJ. For more information on Sadhguru and/or to register for the program, go to
