On October 1, 2016 from Texas to California, Sadhguru, continues his “Meet-and-Mingle” Tour, this time at Pasadena Convention Center. The Civic Auditorium is one of the three buildings housed in the Pasadena Convention Center. Built in 1931, it boasts an ornate design, intended to contribute to the City Beautiful Movement, to evoke Italian Renaissance architecture. The Civic Auditorium has presented a variety of venues, including the Emmy Awards, the astronomy convention and numerous arts and entertainment events.
The stage was simple but elegantly adorned with Sadhguru’s chair and a lovely flower arrangement centered on a small Persian-style rug, and to the right sat the ‘Sounds of Isha’ musicians, who began to play soothing harmonious melodies. Hundreds of people were seated and eager for Sadhguru’s entrance. Sadhguru appeared on stage. Within minutes an intense, but blissful atmosphere permeated the hall. “To be loving, peaceful and joyful are your possibilities. Where do you see me? Within yourself. Where do you see the whole world? Within yourself. Anything happening to you, happens within you. What happens within you should happen your way.” Sadhguru’s talk included a guided meditation and a question-and-answer period. He also talked about having the necessary tools “turning you into the architect of your own joy”. Sadhguru’s new book, “Inner Engineering: A Yogi’s Guide to Joy” is such a tool. At the end of the session, many people gathered near the stage, waved their hands and Sadhguru’s book, eager to get Sadhguru to sign their copy. Once again, people felt exhilarated and joyful, faces beaming with smiles as they left the auditorium.
Experiences and Expressions:
“I had this sense of peace that just came over me. And when Sadhguru first came out onto the stage and started singing, my eyes started tearing. We already knew then that everything he had to say would be wonderful, and wise, and worth hearing, so it was definitely something that was truly amazing, to be in his presence, and feel that joy that he was trying to bring out in everybody… it was awesome!”
“I had listened to and watched many of his videos in the past. But to be in his presence… during the meditation he led, I felt energy flow into my arms and hands… Also, I now feel that, in these times, it’s very relevant to look at things from his perspective, which is both very spiritual and very modern… to experience ourselves in the way he described, and to be naturally joyful.”
“I’ve been following Sadhguru for about 3 – 4 years, so his coming here like this was a tremendous gift for me. It’s one thing to watch his videos, but to be with him like this, it was such a moving and deeply personal experience. This was one hundred times better than I expected it to be, being in his presence like this! -the impact of his words… I can’t describe it. I can’t wait to get my book. I can’t recommend enough, anybody who’s thinking of going to ‘Meet-and-Mingle’ with Sadhguru, you won’t be disappointed! Thank you, Sadhguru!”
“Being with Sadhguru… wow! -very inspiring, he’s so knowledgeable. We’ve been following him for a year now, but it’s a different feeling when you are physically with him, and listening to him like this, it’s a completely different experience… a very divine experience! -so glad that we were blessed to be able to come here today and be with Sadhguru.”
