Earlier, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar reached out to Sadhguru, conveying their wishes for his good health and a speedy recovery.
On March 20, Dr. Vinit Suri, a senior consultant neurologist at Apollo Hospital, revealed details of Sadhguru’s condition, stating, “He had been experiencing a headache for the last four weeks…The pain became severe on March 15…the MRI showed that he had massive bleeding in the brain… There was massive two-time bleeding–one that happened about three weeks back and the second that happened around two-to-three days ago.”
Sadhguru, aged 66, experienced a decline in consciousness and weakness in the left leg on March 17, prompting his immediate transfer to the medical facility. A team of doctors, including Dr. Vinit Suri, Dr. Pranav Kumar, Dr. Sudheer Tyagi, and Dr. S Chatterjee, swiftly conducted the surgery to alleviate the bleeding within hours of admission. Following the surgery, Sadhguru was successfully taken off the ventilator.
