As we all go through it, we have—as normal and ordinary mortals—a lot of questions. As instruments of learning and preparing the mind, spiritual lectures aren't as effective as answering seekers' questions. Sometimes, these questions can be very mundane. Sometimes very profound. No matter what the question is, it helps a seeker tremendously, if it is handled from the very basics and sans any conditioning.
Sadhguru has worked in that direction for the last few months in a different way. Those asking questions are not just public and popular names but also those who look most unlikely to be linked to a spiritual path.
In what are termed "My Conversations with the Mystic," the first series was a deep conversation by renowned film director (of, among others, the Oscar-winning Elizabeth) Shekhar Kapoor. Their conversations together led to four DVD series:
- Love, a Chemical Hijack
- Education, Blossoming of a Child
- Miracle of LIfe
- Guru, a Live Roadmap
The second one was with poet and writer Arundhathi Subramaniam. She is also Sadhguru's biographer, and is writing the book SADHGURU – More Than a Life.
At the end of this week, we will witness the most intriguing conversation—between Chris Rado, a race car driver, and Sadhguru Jaggi.
Chris Rado is strongly into drag car racing and breaks records in time attack events. He and his family have several business interests related to racing, cars, and high-speed living. A few years back, Rado came into contact with Sadhguru and a simple program titled "Inner Engineering" transformed his physical life in a tremendous way. His health was changed beyond his imagination. Soon, most of his family did the program.
On Sunday January 30th at 5 p.m. Pacific Time (U.S.) he will have a conversation on topics of his interest. A free registration and an online connection later, one can indulge oneself in the world of this unusual Mystic and the Spiritual Race Car Driver.
At the least it promises to be an intriguing discussion.

I checked this out and found that if you are not able to watch it live, then you still might be able to watch it later in an archived version of the event. If you register now for the webstreaming event, you should receive an email sometime afterwards with a link to the recorded conversation. Also, it's a video AND audio presentation, so you can see them together as well.

I so agree about the part about trusting just as much as trusting the manager at the gas station. I've personally gone through and have seen scores of people who first came to Sadhguru with such skepticism, now are experiencing the peak of blissfulness and overall well being. Most of us are logical and thinking minds. Sadhguru's ways of helping you break your binding ropes are totally unorthodox. Tune in to the event that Des has described. You'll meet the most complete human being in Sadhguru!

This seems very interesting. I am willing to tune in to check out what a racecar driver and a mystic may have in common!

Hi, Desh! Thanks, for letting us into the urban/contemporary mysticism, easy for us lesser mortals to understand & practise. But, unfortunately, all this is happening in the U.S.
How do we get access to Sadhguru's discourses, in India?
Sadhguru's introduction as forwarded by you reminds me of the reluctant messiah in Richard Bach's novel......I forget the name.......about a pilot........who's also looked upon as a messiah but, is himself not comfortable so much with the epithet. Anyway, it's always nice to know about the "incredible" life experiences of people like us, and yet more evolved & aware. So, thanks. Now, it's your duty to transcribe his conversations with Chris Rado, for us! Hoping to hear from you soon, on the same.
Regards,
SD
