COIMBATORE, JULY 30
Sadhguru, known to be extremely social media and technology savvy, has been making waves in virtual world too by using state-of-the-art social media apps. He is adept in mixing spirituality with science to keep pace with the millennials and elders alike.
Clubhouse, the popular social audio app, saw a record-breaking turnout on Thursday as over 30,000 people from 72 countries tuned in to listen to spiritual leader Sadhguru, Founder-Isha Foundation.
Seeing this unprecedented turnout, the Clubhouse app, which has set its limit at 8,000 participants per room, had to manually increase the limit to provide entry to nearly 12,000 listeners at a given time who were earnestly listening to the Mystic as he spoke on “Life and its ways”. An overflow group had to be created soon as the app was unable to accommodate so many listeners in one room.

Hosted by Kannada-based Vishwavani Club and moderated by Vishweshwar Bhat, Editor in Chief – Vishwavani Daily, the discussions panned from dealing with death, suffering, fear, anger, handling relationships and moved on to burning topics – Coronavirus pandemic, ayurveda vs modern medicine, legislative affairs, social media trolling, Cauvery Calling, amid others. During the discussion, Sadhguru reiterated his mission to move humanity from Religion to Responsibility.
“It’s all-time record in Clubhouse. Thanks to Sadhguru,” Vishweshwar Bhat tweeted, sharing a screenshot of impressive turnout.
