Sadhguru answers a question on the energy at Seventh Hill,

where Sadhguru Sri Brahma left his body through all seven
chakras.

Questioner: Namaskaram, Sadhguru. I have been to the Seventh

Hill, and I found the energy there was strongly different
compared to any other place. Can you speak a little bit about that?

Sadhguru: Sadhguru Sri Brahma was not a nice guy. He never

called anyone by name – he only said, “Eh!” “Eh” was the one
name for everyone. People were terrified of him, just because of
the way he was. But at the same time, they loved him immensely.
That is the beauty of contradictions.

They did not love him because he

was nice to them. They loved him
Sadhguru Sri because they could not help it.

Brahma was like fire Thousands were drawn to him.

He set up 70 institutions in Tamil
– simply on. Nadu, within a short span of
time. He mostly travelled around
and spent very little time in one
place. But wherever he went,

2/4/2016 On Fire: Sadhguru on Sadhguru Sri Brahma and the Seventh Hill

people gave lands and things to him so he could set up

institutions. They did this because they could not help loving him,
not because he was nice to them.

The energy at the Seventh Hill is very different because Sadhguru

Sri Brahma left his body there. His whole focus in life had been to
consecrate the Dhyanalinga. But in spite of all his inner
capabilities, lack of social skills destroyed the project. The society
turned against him and made sure he could not do it. When this
happened, he wanted to check why this project failed, if
something was wrong with his energy system. So, to do this, he
left the body through all the seven chakras.

This applies to everyone – if something in your life does not

work, the first thing is to check yourself, if there is something
wrong with you. The problem with most human beings is, if
something does not work, the first thing they do is blame
someone else. You should first look at yourself. Pay absolute
attention to every aspect of your life and see why this has not
happened in a successful manner. Something may not be okay
with you. Only after checking this and being sure that everything
is okay with you, you see if there is some other factor that is
messing it up.

Sadhguru Sri Brahma was immensely empowered and lived

almost miraculously. You may have heard of some of the things
that he did, like walking through a locked prison door or making a
boy walk on a lake. Things like that happened around him on a

daily basis. People saw him as godlike, but they were terrified of
him, because he seemed to be always angry. He was not angry
with anyone – he was simply ferociously intense. Sadhguru Sri
Brahma was like fire – simply on.

When people gathered around

kind of energy Even today, about seventy years

anywhere else. later, the energy there is alive

and on like it happened
yesterday. The energy is so
crazily intense that it just blows
you away.

This time around, our social competence has improved. I

consciously civilized myself to the extent that is necessary to
function in society. Today, we have social skills, which we lacked
then. Because of the intensity of energy that he carried, other
things did not seem important to him. He thought that what
people in society think does not matter. But do not underestimate
the power of ignorance. There is power to knowledge, but there is

tremendous power to ignorance.

Many things in the world do not move forward because of

people’s ignorance. No matter how hard you try, ignorance is like
an anchor – it will not let even the biggest ship move. This time
around, I took care of the ignorant from the beginning, treating
ignorance with respect. He treated ignorance with disdain. If
someone said something stupid, he just kicked them. He did not
understand the democratic process. The majority is always
ignorant, and they have the power.

The Seventh Hill, Velliangiri Mountain

He ignored that, because he thought with this intensity of energy,

everything will happen. And when it did not work, he tried to
check out if his energy was not good enough. So he left his body
through all the seven chakras, which is a very rare phenomenon.

– you will not experience that kind of energy anywhere else.

Editor’s Note: Shivanga literally means “Limb of Shiva,” and is a 42-

day period of sadhana. The process includes an initiation into Shiva
Namaskar and a pilgrimage to the Velliangiri Mountain. The next
initiation will be on Guru Purnima, July 31. More information at
