Jaggi Vasudev (Sadhguru) has loyal followers and a good name, but some may wonder if the Guru is genuine or not? The hand can reveal some truths about his character.
His hands show willpower and determination. His thinking may not always be logical, but he has good reasoning powers and can be persuaded. Plus, he is fairly balanced in his emotions, as well as an independent thinker and doer. He is shrewd, and can be a little manipulative as well. He likes the limelight but overall his hand shows that he is quite straightforward and not a crook.
Sadhguru has a square palm and short fingers and in Palmistry this is known as a square or practical hand. His fingers are thick, and a little bent. The thumb is long and supple with a thick first phalange although this phalange is not too long. He has a deep heartline, a wide and well-developed Venus mount, and the mounts on his palm are developed, but not excessively. The headline slopes suddenly into the Moon mount although it has a lighter branch which goes straight. His head and lifelines are joined considerably and he has good second phalanges.

His weaknesses are his impulsiveness and lack of diplomacy and also stubbornness. He also likes fame.
He likes his comforts although he is not a materialistic person at all. He has financial sense and business ability which is above average. There is some contradiction in his personality as he also has an introspective, thoughtful and non-materialistic attitude.
He does have some idealism in his personality but it is moderate. He will not set store by blind faith or superstition. This makes him a trustworthy person to some extent, even though he is not a typical ascetic.

Fascinating and very insightful. A lot of what's discussed in the article seems consistent with how I know him from discourses on youtube, etc. His broad outlook and understanding of larger issues are something I find characteristic for what he talks about. There are also some surprising elements that came forward. Overall your hand reading matches beautifully with what I would expect from his personality.
ReplyDeleteAbout his lack of diplomacy. Can this be interpreted as a tendency not to conform too much to formalities? A certain subversive attitude?
When I was living in Coimbatore, people asked me to go to Isha foundation. My friends came from other parts of India to visit him and asked me to join them. Somehow, I didn't find the inspiration to do so! As my knowledge on spiritual matters is limited, I don't want to pass any comments!

I met him personally in singapore and the experience is beyond words brooo.... <3 beyond my life can ever explain <3 it is my own experience
DeleteThanks M. Glad you liked the post. Am not sure about why he is direct. Could be many reasons for it. A forcefulness of personality perhaps?
ReplyDeleteDI, thanks for the comment. I too have little knowledge of gurus so I know what you mean.
Thank you!
ReplyDeletewas looking forward to this.
I found sadhguru a 'guru' with difference.Thought he was either a master manipulator or a true guru.
Kindly tell me,is he really an ascetic? Similar to Sri Sri Ravi shankar and Osho? What was the main difference you find in their palm,since they all have been hailed as 'gurus' at one time or other.
His discourses really wow you...
He is not a typical ascetic as I mentioned in my post and that is because he enjoys the pleasures of life (but within reason) and he also has a way with money (but not greed).
ReplyDeleteThe palm of say Osho and Sadhguru are worlds apart, there is really no comparison. However if one leaves aside their character/personality/ethics etc, then one can say that Osho and Sri Sri could have a higher intellect although Sadhguru's hands do show that he has a philosophical and thinking bent of mind.
What there is no doubt about is that Sadhguru is not a master manipulator, at least that is what I see on his hands.
What really makes a true 'guru' is very difficult to define and it can be a subjective thing. Ascetics are different and very rare in this day and age.
Nita,given your analysis- he's just an eloquent philosopher and a humanist and not an ascetic?
ReplyDeleteWell, it depends on what you mean by an ascetic. If one goes by the dictionary meaning, he is not an ascetic. The description by the online dictionary is this:
ReplyDelete"A person who renounces material comforts and leads a life of austere self-discipline, especially as an act of religious devotion"
or
"Leading a life of self-discipline and self-denial, especially for spiritual improvement".
or "Pertaining to or characteristic of an ascetic; self-denying and austere"
Generally speaking an ascetic (at least to my mind) is someone who is not interested much in food or drink, sits and meditates for hours and hours and is in a way cut off from the physical world including all material comforts.
However if to your mind an ascetic is someone who is philosophical and humanistic, then I am sure you can think of Sadhguru as an ascetic.
Your analysis about Sadhguru's personality is spot-on :). One can see his lack of diplomacy in his debates with Javed Akhtar as well as in some of his interviews (especially with superficial anchors in Indian media).
ReplyDeleteTo me, Sadhguru is just an amazing Being. His message about God etc. is very simple "Neither believe nor disbelieve. Be open-minded to any possibility. Act according to your common-sense and intelligence at any time. Simply enhance your perceptions through disciplined practice of Yoga, Meditation, and Humanitarian acts"
In the 10 minute "Describe God" video, (link below), he appears to be the most "logical" of all the religious leaders, especially what he says from 6:09 to 7:21, and from 2:23 to 3:52 in the video.
His approach to God (around 8:03 in the video) seems most "practical/logical" approach to God for today's intellectual people at least.

I wouldnt say Sadhguru is an ascetic as he has already reached the pinnacle of spirituality and is no longer in pursuit. he is in the offering mode. so he has bramacharis under him who i would call asetics
ReplyDeleteDo you have a clearer image of his palm?
ReplyDeleteI take photos from the web. I personally have no images.
ReplyDeleteMay I suggest that that Sadhguru had "a hand" in designing his own hand? He worked, by what he himself has shared, for several lifetimes to accomplish the creation of his great determination, the energy center which, at long last, he was able to manifest during his current lifetime.He returned as Jaggi Vasudev with the inbuilt abilities to complete his mission at last. I am not referring here to someone who is still caught up on the wheel of action and reaction so much as to a person of moksha who returned to our plane with a sole and conscious purpose. This is not a conclusion on my part, for I know nothing; rather this is an observation and perhaps a question.

ReplyDeleteThe narrow quadrangle which you speak of is not present at the age he is now. It is present only for the first half of his life. That said, to say that people with narrow quadrangles are bigots is completely wrong, and if any hand reader says this, then I will say he is a poor hand reader/palmist. I have never heard of Kattakar but have lost respect for whoever he is. I have read the hands of many people with narrow quadrangles, none of them are bigots. There are also some well known bigots who do not have a narrow quadrangle.
DeleteIt is very important to see the shape of the hand before one makes pronouncements about personality characteristics. The shape of the hand is the context in which one has to read the hand.
A narrow quadrangle can show a person who is less open to another's views (not bigot) but one has to see the headline shape and length but even before one can say that he is incapable of seeing another point of view. And of course the shape of the hand as well.
The hand is to be read as a whole, and just one line or sign cannot be taken out of context.
On this website I have given the example of a doctor examining his patients and taking into account several symptoms. For example a rash on the body can mean so many things, it does not necessarily mean typhoid.

ReplyDeleteExcellent palm reading. I love watching Sadhguru's lectures on YouTube and I'm glad his palm complements his loving nature. Thank you for this reading, Nita.
ReplyDeleteBut Ma'am zer iz no fate line on zis palm, how come he millionaire?
ReplyDeleteHe does have a fateline, and a sunline too. But yes, they are not strong lines. In any case, fateline and sunline do not indicate wealth of success per se. A millionaire and a taxi driver could have similar type of fatelines. I read celeb hands from dozens of photos but only post links to a few. I am now adding a better photo link for you to see. Check the links in the post, it's the second one.
DeleteOh sorry I did not notice that. I am neu to palmistry like not wanting to be plmist but have intrst and read your articles, i also notice that rich and poor both can have similar fate and sun lines, but that means poor not make of opportunity and rich make himself opportunity and become the self-made rich man?
DeleteNo, it's not like that. Our lines develop according to our own personality, our own ambitions and desires. What is shown by the fateline is our own attitude to life. A millionaire may have a poor fateline if he is not satisfied. Or even if he is, there is a possibility that he does not have a passionate goal in life. It's complicated.
DeleteUpon observing closely ,he seems to have a writers fork on his right hand
ReplyDeleteActually, without a high resolution photo one cannot be sure. It could also be a cut on his headline. In any case, there is no such thing as "writer's fork" on the headline. All it shows is versatility which can mean anything.
DeleteI do agree versatility is implied on such markings, I wanted to conform the same more or less and btw writers fork is just a colloquial way to refer to versatility
DeleteBut genuinely thank you for addressing my query
