“Spiritual leader Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev, revered globally for his wisdom and teachings, underwent an unexpected emergency brain surgery at a prominent private hospital in the city, as confirmed by an official statement released by the hospital on Wednesday.”
On March 17, an urgent surgical procedure was performed to address intracranial bleeding suffered by Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev. Indraprastha Apollo Hospital has disclosed that following the surgery, he was successfully liberated from ventilator support. In a reassuring update, the hospital affirmed his consistent advancement, highlighting enhancements in neurological function, physical condition, and vital signs, indicating a positive trajectory in his recovery journey.
Efforts to conserve the environment
The 66-year-old renowned spiritual leader and Isha Foundation founder, Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev, has long supported environmental preservation concerns, most notably through programs like “Save Soil” and “Rally for Rivers.” Even though he had been suffering from terrible headaches for the last four weeks, he continued to be utterly committed to his work. Remarkably, he continued his strict daily schedule and social activities, which culminated in the planning of the Maha Shivaratri event on March 8, as stated in the statement.
Brain hemorrhage during surgery
Given the seriousness of his situation, Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev was examined thoroughly by a brain MRI the same day. This examination revealed a concerning finding: a significant cerebral hemorrhage. This crucial finding highlighted how serious the situation was and how urgently and carefully the emergent emergency condition needed to be treated. It also emphasized the necessity for swift action and extensive medical intervention.
As per the official statement, the medical evaluation uncovered strong indications of both recent bleeding, which transpired in the 24 to 48 hours prior, and a concomitant chronic hemorrhage that persisted for three to four weeks. The double presentation of brain bleeding highlighted the intricacy and critical nature of Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev’s medical condition, requiring swift and forceful action to treat the hemorrhage’s acute and chronic components.
Important meetings and events were scheduled for March 15 and 16, even though Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev was in critical condition and urgently recommended to be hospitalized and have his medication adjusted. Despite his growing health worries, he continued as before, using painkillers to help him accomplish his obligations. His persistent dedication and fortitude even in the face of adversity are highlighted by his determined determination to fulfill his obligations.
As of March 17, Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev’s condition had become concerning due to a discernible decline in his mental abilities and weakness in his left leg. Acknowledging the gravity of the situation, he was admitted to the hospital immediately and placed under the careful supervision of Dr. Suri. Further CT scans revealed a concerning image, revealing a marked increase in brain edema. When this crucial development occurred, the medical team quickly came to the conclusion that, as stated in the statement, prompt surgical intervention was necessary to reduce the increasing risk.
“We insisted that he gets admitted immediately, but because of his commitments, he proceeded with his meeting at 6 o’clock without anyone realizing the extent of his illness. The following day, despite his condition, he had a crucial engagement at the India Today Conclave. With the aid of painkillers and sedation, he valiantly attended the event, delivering an astonishingly impressive interview. It was remarkable how he managed to persevere through the pain and exhaustion to fulfill his obligations,” he recalled.
His condition worsened dramatically on the morning of the 17th. He started feeling sleepy and was having trouble staying awake during conversations. He also started having weakness in his left leg. We hurried him to the hospital right away, but even there, he was remarkably stoic, only acknowledging his discomfort with a modest, “Dr., I am a little unwell.”
That morning, he finally said, “Dr., I think the time has come to do what you want to do,” indicating that he was ready for surgery. On the 17th, after analyzing the CT scan, we discovered that there was a serious brain swelling that was causing a noticeable shift in brain tissue. His demeanor had become noticeably dulled, and confusion had set in .
