Midtown Manhattan: lights, high rises, a symphony of bustling humanity. It is the largest central business district in the world. There resides internationally famous Times Square and the national historic landmark venue in the heart of New York,The Town Hall.
Throughout the years, The Town Hall has hosted many lecture series and world-renowned speakers. In addition, it has become one of New York City’s premier performance spaces for music, dance and other performing arts.
On September 20, 2016, The Town Hall hosted an event which carried the potential to change people’s lives: visionary, mystic and yogi, Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev released and discussed his first book intended for western readers, “Inner Engineering: A Yogi’s Guide to Joy”. In his book, Sadhguru presents a sophisticated guide to self-empowerment based on the teaching and principles of classical yoga. This system is a means to create a framework of inner stability, helping those who practice become architects of a joyful life. Sadhguru states, “My aim in this book is to help make joy your constant companion. To make that happen, this book offers you not a sermon, but a science; not a teaching, but a technology; not a precept, but a path.”
Hundreds of people attended the event, many in anticipation of Sadhguru’s new book, others just wanting to be in Sadhguru’s presence again, since he radiates the joy and bliss he states is available to all. And some people were just curious, having heard of Sadhguru, this man so dedicated to world peace, that they wanted to meet him for the first time. Here, below, are some of the impressions of the participants.
Experiences & Expressions from the Event Attendees:
“My experience at the top is just transforming! I have been listening to Sadhguru and just finished Isha Kriya meditation and Inner Engineering. He brings me joy!”
“Great seeing Sadhguru live. It was heartwarming seeing his energy. A very emotional experience. I really enjoyed it and I brought his book. I hope everyone reads it.”
“My experience today with Sadhguru was quite special, quite incredible. I’ve been following him for years, and to feel his physical presence today, his energy, was just incredible. The man has truly opened a channel of bliss and joy within himself, and for the first time, my actually being in his presence, I could feel that without a shadow of a doubt. His humor is always invigorating. Being in his presence was something that really touched my heart. His energy came to life within me. I’m so happy that I was blessed with being able to be here for this event.”
