NEW DELHI: Spiritual guru and founder of the Isha Foundation, Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev, recently underwent emergency brain surgery at Apollo Hospital in Delhi following severe swelling and bleeding in his brain.
After the surgery, Prime Minister Narendra Modi took to X and wished Sadhguru for his swift return to health and wellbeing.
Describing Sadhguru's condition, the Isha Foundation said that he had been experiencing persistent headaches over the past four weeks.
Despite the discomfort, he continued with his usual activities, including leading the Mahashivratri function on March 8, until the pain intensified dramatically on March 15. Seeking medical attention, he consulted with Dr Vinit Suri, a senior consultant neurologist at Apollo Hospitals, who promptly advised an MRI scan.
The MRI results were alarming, revealing massive bleeding in Sadhguru's brain. Dr Suri described the situation, stating that there were two instances of bleeding, one occurring approximately three weeks prior and another just days before the MRI.
On March 17, Sadhguru's neurological condition deteriorated rapidly, leading to a progressive decline in his level of consciousness. Responding swiftly, a team of doctors, including Dr Vinit Suri, Dr Pranav Kumar, Dr Sudheer Tyagi, and Dr S Chatterjee, performed
emergency surgery to alleviate the bleeding within hours of his admission to the hospital.
Post-surgery, Sadhguru was successfully taken off the ventilator, indicating a positive response to the procedure. Since then, he has been showing steady progress, with improvements observed in his brain function, overall health, and vital parameters.
The news of Sadhguru's successful surgery and subsequent recovery has brought relief to his followers and well-wishers worldwide. The Isha Foundation continues to provide updates on his condition, expressing gratitude for the outpouring of support and prayers during this challenging time.
