Sadhguru vs. Evangelists: The Temple Hauling and a Strategic Crusade

The Evangelist Outcry

The uproar from these missionary evangelists over Sadhguru’s campaign has been nothing short of noble. Their sudden interest in the administration of Hindu temples clearly comes from a deep desire to protect the integrity of a culture that’s not theirs. Who would have thought? Clearly, it’s not about safeguarding their own operations and influence in areas where conversions have thrived. It is thanks to a certain status quo that leaves Hindu temples in the hands of government-appointed bureaucrats. Nope, it’s just pure altruism at play here.

What they are really worried about is that Sadhguru, with his growing influence, might inspire Hindus to take back control of their temples. It will deprive these evangelists of a few entry points for their “selfless” missions. After all, an empowered, spiritually aware population is much harder to “save” than one disillusioned by state-managed temples. But let’s give them credit: they’re masters at playing the victim while being on offense.

Sadhguru and the Great Police “Concern”

As if the evangelical drama wasn’t enough, enter the Tamil Nadu police, who apparently found it imperative to storm into Isha Foundation premises in the name of, well, public order. What was it that really concerned them? Oh yes, the fear that Sadhguru’s movement might stir unrest. How very thoughtful of them! Because when people are quietly advocating for temple autonomy, it’s practically a revolution in the making, right? Perhaps what they meant by “unrest” was the evangelists’ discomfort at the possibility of Hindus reclaiming their sacred spaces.

In an unexpected twist, Sadhguru decided to take the matter to the Supreme Court. And lo and behold, the Court actually halted these unnecessary police visits. Maybe the Court saw through the “concern” as little more than an attempt to intimidate the foundation and stifle his mission. The sudden and repeated police probes were, after all, purely coincidental, and had nothing to do with Sadhguru’s growing influence. Absolutely nothing.

The “Unofficial” Campaign That Everyone Knows About

Now, let’s talk about the brilliance of Sadhguru’s “undercurrent” campaign to free temples. It’s almost poetic how he’s managed to keep it unofficial, while the opposition flails around trying to stop something they can’t officially attack. They know what he’s up to, but can’t quite pin him down. That must be frustrating.

For evangelists who would rather keep their monopoly on soul-saving activities, the idea of Hindus managing their own temples is a terrifying thought. What happens when the temples—currently subject to state management—start running like true spiritual centers again? Where would that leave the “concerned” missionary groups who have been patiently waiting for Hindus to be frustrated enough to look elsewhere for “salvation”?

A Battle of Influence: Who’s Really Winning?

While evangelists cry foul and pretend to be the moral authority on temple management, Sadhguru continues to build his base of support among those who see the irony. The fight for temple control is, of course, painted as a communal issue by those who benefit from the current system. But to those paying attention, it’s not about exclusion—it’s about giving Hindu temples the same autonomy that churches and mosques already enjoy in India. Fair, right?

Sadhguru’s temple campaign is essentially advocating for balance, even if it makes certain groups uncomfortable. And as for the police “investigations,” let’s call them what they are—strategic stunts meant to discredit a man who’s getting a little too influential for some people’s liking. The Supreme Court’s intervention only underscores that this was never about law and order but about controlling the narrative.

The Crusade Continues

Sadhguru’s vision for temple freedom continues to run quietly yet powerfully, much to the chagrin of evangelists who see it as a direct challenge to their mission. The Court’s ruling may have halted the police’s unnecessary barge-ins, but the campaign is far from over. As Sadhguru advocates for spiritual autonomy, .t’s only a matter of time before the balance tips, much to the dismay of those who’ve long profited from the status quo.

For now, it’s amusing to watch the high drama unfold—evangelists playing the role of “concerned citizens,” police suddenly overzealous, and Sadhguru, cool as ever, quietly advancing a cause that’s far more powerful than the opposition can handle.
