Radhe Jaggi wrote on Instagram Story, “For those asking, Sadhguru is doing well and recovering quickly.” . She expressed gratitude for the concern and prayers from everyone and mentioned that Sadhguru’s condition is stable post-surgery.
Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev, who is the founder of Coimbatore-headquartered Isha Foundation, shared a video from his hospital bed. “The Apollo hospital neurosurgeons cut through my skull to try and find something but found nothing — totally empty. So they gave up and patched it up. Here I am in Delhi with the patched-up skull but no damaged brain,” Jaggi Vasudev, 66, said in the video which was posted on his Instagram account.
Here’s what Sadhguru said from the hospital bed

Responding to Modi’s message, Sadhguru said he was “overwhelmed” by the prime minister’s concern. “Beloved Pradhan Mantri ji, I should not be a concern to you. You have a nation to conduct. Overwhelmed by your concern, on my way to recovery. Dhanyavad,” Sadhguru wrote.
