Sadhguru, in a conversation with R Madhavan, revealed that doctors from across the world had told him he would die, as he had high fever for 12 weeks and his fever touched 107 degrees.
Sadhguru recently shared a conversation with actor R Madhavan on his YouTube channel, where the Isha Foundation founder talked about the time when doctors told him he was going to die. He revealed that he had fever for over 12 weeks, but he felt better only after he went to Mount Kailash. Though he didn’t explicitly reveal which medicine helped him recover, he revealed that “one fiber” changed him as a person.
He said, “All the doctors had given up on me. They thought I was going to die because I had a constant fever. I was in California. They thought it was some kind of typhoid and they treated me. Then I went to Australia, they thought it was some kind of malaria and they treated me. Then I came to India, they treated me for three types of malaria and then they thought it was dengue and they treated me. Then I was doing an event in the UK, they thought it was some kind of deadly fever because the lymph nodes in my neck were swollen and it was very painful, but I had fever several times and I kept speaking.”
Sadhguru said that when he came back to California to speak at an event, a doctor in the audience advised him to see a doctor immediately. “I didn’t know he was a doctor and he raised his hand. He said, ‘You have to go to the emergency room right now.’ I said, ‘Yes, I know.’ He said, ‘You have to go right now.’ Because if I sat in one place, my clothes would get completely soaked in 10 minutes. Because I had a fever for more than 12 weeks and I was still travelling internationally, attending events, etc,” he said.
After this, he was treated for a “weird kind of typhoid” and returned to India. “I was shooting for some Tamil TV show for three weeks and one day I felt like I was losing my mind. I checked my temperature and it was 107. Then, without thinking, I went into a cold shower with my clothes on and stood there for 10 minutes. Then whatever happened, they said go for the surgery, I didn’t go for the surgery, I came to Kailash.”
Sadhguru said that he traveled to Mount Kailash and that proved to be a life-changing moment for him. When I told this to the doctor, he said standing under the shower is the smartest thing I’ve ever done in life. At 107, you are very close to death. I came to Kailash. I had lost my muscle mass. In those 12 weeks, I lost almost one-fourth of the muscle mass in my thighs. But in that state, I came to Kailash and sat there. Then I saw the immense richness there. I just took one fibre from it. You won’t believe that in 20 minutes I became a new person, I climbed the whole way from top to bottom.”
Madhavan wondered what he meant by “one fibre”, and Sadhguru explained, “I am just using words to know how to present… knowledge is stored in a particular way, it is like Shiva’s curly hair, it is stored in fibres, I took one fibre and in just 20 minutes, everything about me changed.” He added, “When I came back, the medical test said I was absolutely fine. I am just saying that it is a completely different level of knowing. Everything you want to know about this universe is here, if you are willing to open up. But since then, I have not been able to stop. I am addicted to Kailash. I come here every year.”
