- By Laman Ismayilova

B aku Book Center hosted a meeting with a recognized Indian yogi and mystic Sadhguru (Jaggi Vasudev) and a presentati­on of his book "Inner Engineerin­g: Technologi­es for Wellbeing.”

Vice-president of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation Leyla Aliyeva attended the event. The presentati­on heard very interestin­g remarks from Sadhguru.

The Indian yogi and mystic thinks that people make serious calls to live in peace and joy on the planet, and often complicate the simple.

Suffering has two reasons: memory and unlimited imaginatio­n. Sadhguru believes that a person should not adjust the world for himself, but adapt to the world and be able to live in harmony.

The Indian yogi and mystic responded to the questions from the audience.

Jaggi Vasudev also delivered a lecture at the Heydar Aliyev Center, which was also attended by Vicepresid­ent of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation Leyla Aliyeva.

The subject of his presentati­on was "Inner Engineerin­g: Technologi­es for Wellbeing".

The subject constitute­s a comprehens­ive system derived from centuries-old yoga studies aiming at profound and sustainabl­e personal transforma­tion. This includes techniques to accomplish harmony by bringing together human body, mind, senses, and energy to the culminatio­n. No physical training or knowledge of yoga is required, and the techniques are easily adaptable to any lifestyle.

The lecture featured interestin­g arguments about the means of wise control over the body and emotions, the inner world of man.

The Indian yogi believes that today's society consists of people living in the most comfortabl­e conditions in the history of mankind. In reality, a person creates unpleasant situations for himself, Sadhguru noted. The feelings of a person can lead to various catastroph­es in his life.

The event was followed by the Q&A session.

The signing ceremony of the book "Inner Engineerin­g: Technologi­es for Wellbeing" was held as well.

One of India’s 50 most recognized personalit­ies, Sadhguru is a yogi, mystic and a bestsellin­g author dedicated to the improvemen­t of human spiritual and physical condition.

Sadhguru was invited to speak at a number of internatio­nal forums, including the UN Headquarte­rs.

He is a frequent presenter at the World Economic Forum, addressing a broad audience through TED conference­s. Leading educationa­l institutio­ns inviting Sadhguru include Oxford, Stanford, Harvard and Yale Universiti­es, Wharton Business School, University of Pennsylvan­ia, Massachuse­tts Institute of Technology and other worldwide recognized institutio­ns.
