A post is being circulated on social media claiming it as a message from the ‘Isha Foundation’ head and Spiritual leader Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev, to sustain and cure the COVID-19 virus. This purported message of Sadhguru states, “The only way to keep any kind of illness or virus or flu away is to not talk about it and it will dissipate itself. The more we talk about it, the more it becomes active in our vibration”. In the message, Sadhguru explained the negative impact of coronavirus fears on the body. Let’s verify the claim made in the post.

On several occasions, Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev asked people to act wisely to successfully navigate the COVID-19 situation. On the occasion of New Year 2021, Sadhguru gave a message to people that ‘Human ability to respond rather than react is the solution, not only to duck the pandemic but to create new possibilities of a more civilised and sustainable world’. In his recent interactions, Sadhguru did not specifically mention the negative impacts of panic in COVID-19 patients.
