On September 22, 2016, as people from various walks of life enter the State Theater of New Jersey for Sadhguru’s meet-and-mingle event. The historic State Theatre is a magnificently renovated 1921 vaudeville/silent-film house. As in the past, The State Theatre continues to flourish as the centerpiece and premier venue for the New Brunswick arts community, hosting a diverse roster of events, including international orchestras, other music shows, comedy, dance, family events, educational seminars and more. On this particular day, as they wait for the start time, visitors pack the theater, looking at the Isha Foundation’s various displays and buying Sadhguru’s new book, “Inner Engineering: A Yogi’s Guide to Joy”.
Soon, the music of ‘Sounds of Isha’ welcomed the eager attendees as they sit in the audience, quickly filling the auditorium.
Sadhguru enters, and the last notes of audience chatter cease. A warm quiet hugs the atmosphere, like a glistening morning dew. Sadhguru talks about making joy your lifelong companion. His words are clear and simple, interspersed with humor. The audience is enlivened by his words and presence. “The nature of human life is longing to experience more.” “Every creature of this planet is striving to be a full-fledged life.” “This book is a simple step to turn inward.”
The event ended with Sadhguru signing his book as people waved it enthusiastically, hoping to get his signature. ‘Sounds of Isha’ graced the air with exuberant songs as smiles shown on faces lit the room.
Experiences and Expressions of Attendees:
“It was my first-time Sadhguru event. It was wonderful. My whole thought process changed and seeing him, I felt him in my heart. Now I won’t rely on my wife to be joyful; I will be joyful myself!”
“Being a meditator since 2013, I can say that I have felt a complete change in my life. So many smiling faces coming out today! I am so glad they are experiencing it too.”
“I’ve been to many programs with Sadhguru, and this, tonight, was amazing, like always! Such a good experience, I have no words to express, I just feel so blessed. Yes, I got the new book, I had it signed by Sadhguru, and I simply can’t wait to read it.”
“I was awed in the presence of Sadhguru. I have seen a lot of his videos, but seeing him in person is a wholly different and the joy he has shared with the audience in this room, and, hopefully, we will all take it beyond. I have purchased four of the new books for myself and my friends, I had them all autographed, and I’m very excited!”
“I’m here today and it was an awesome night! I’m just full of joy. I hope to go out there and live every moment as if it were my last, and, you know, make a difference… making a difference in life for ourselves and for others, that’s what it’s really about. What else are we here for?”
