@NityJayaraman Dear Mr Jayaraman, some of your allegations about Isha Foundation seem completely baseless.
Let's talk first of Noyyal that you have alleged.
Isha Foundation's buildings are a few Kilometres far from the river bed.
@NityJayaraman <1% of Noyyal river basin is near a forest area and in that <0.0001% is flowing through lands near the Isha Yoga Center.
The argument that many institutions near Velliangiri hills are causing problems for Noyyal river water is not valid and not proven through any studies.
@NityJayaraman As for Isha's buildings being in catchment area, the whole of Kongu belt is actually Noyyal catchment area. By your argument, nobody can live in any of these places.
So, why are you even bringing this up?
@NityJayaraman The arguments of illegal constructions is also no longer valid. Isha Foundation has offered an explanation of the history of problems they had with HACA clearance, the legal route taken to stop demolition notice and that the clearance has already been obtained.
@NityJayaraman Cauvery has been calling for decades now, even before Isha Foundation even came into existence.
Your article has not showcased any proofs of how Isha has really impacted Cauvery.
And why dig a post from 2019 and share as if it is yesterday's news? What is the real motive?

There is a single small stream flowing through the lands & is left unobstructed. Even High school science students know that 100s of acres of forest & tree cover are required to create a single water stream. Several such water streams form a tributary, many of which form a river.
<1% of Noyyal river basin is near a forest area and in that <0.0001% is flowing through lands near the Isha Yoga Center.
The argument that many institutions near Velliangiri hills are causing problems for Noyyal river water does not make any sense.
The source of hatred towards Sadhguru protected on SM by a certain section of Hindu Traditionalists seems to be based on him successfully galvanizing massive public support to #FreeHinduTemples!
No wonder the British were able to divide and rule us so easily in the past 🤦♂️
Did Sadhguru ever say he is the one to start a movement like this? NO
Did pioneers of the movement to legally & constitutionally free Hindu temples, like @trramesh or @jsaideepak say so? NO
Did anyone get this kind of public support before or did anyone prevent them? Perhaps No
Did Sadhguru or his team ever publish anything like them being the only custodians of temple freedom movement? NO
Did many Dharmic gurus from across the country support this endeavour? YES
Then why is so much angst & acrid behaviour towards Sadhguru from some sections alone?
Mr Karti should clarify how letting go of government control will lead to exclusion of marginalised communities. Are you aware that there is something called the "Temple Entry Authorisation Act" of 1947 that specifically prevents discrimination of Hindus from entering temples.
By the way, what measures do you have today to prevent any such discrimination happening in Christianity? At least, there is a legal framework available for Hindus. And before lecturing about no such thing in Christianity, first check about the troubles faced by Dalit Christians.
More importantly, did he ever ask the temples be given to him? Why are you spreading such false ideas? If you have any proof for that, please publish it.
For someone who is so concerned about our temples, what have you got to say about their pathetic state currently?
BS is all in Vaibhav's mind it appears, misinterpreting Raas as sexual, Lover as sexual and Gopi's devotion to Krishna as sexual. Well, a mind full of such filth can only spew more of that!
There are so many ridiculous points that I was flabbergasted where to even start.
As I started going through his thread, there are misinterpretations after misinterpretations and deliberate misrepresentation in some cases.
This n00b thinks he can identify a Dharmacharya because "they would know Sanskrit and will be from a tradition".
Somebody please ask him how that traditional paths started in the first place and such illogical reasoning was why even Adi Shankara was ridiculed by so many others in his own lifetime. People often worship gurus after they leave but not when they are alive 😏
"Oh, what will happen with a missed call?" ask some people.
Simple - you register your vote of support for a particular cause. Whoever you are supporting can then democratically put pressure on the ruling government to take a specific action.
Many political parties have used this missed call mechanism to garner support for a cause and even some TV channels have used it.
"What happened with the RFR missed calls?"
Many points from the rally for rivers policy documentation have been taken into account when the national water policy was updated. This became possible because of public support through several means including missed calls.
"Govt of TN that had taken over the Nanganallur Anjaneyar Temple, today announced that they will return the temple management to the trustees. The Free TN Temples is already beginning to show early wins. (1/n)
This is a step in the right direction as devotees must manage temples and govt must stay out of it."
Why is this news a cause for celebration and what is the #FreeTNTemples effort?
There has been systematic exploitation & destruction of Tamilnadu’s temples for a while now.(2/n)
In many cases, the primary culprit is the HR&CE dept — Hindu Religious & Charitable Endowments — which ironically is supposed to be taking care of the temples.
So, a few years back, some people started taking steps to free up Tamilnadu temples from the control of HR&CE. (3/n)
