Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev’s Isha Foundation organized a special program involving the tribals living in the forests of Chamarajnagar, Karnataka as part of International Yoga Day celebrations on June 21.
Tribals including Soliga, Kadu Kuruba, and Jenu Kuruba followed the yoga practices led by the Hatha yoga teacher of Isha foundation.
As a part of the program, ration kits were also distributed to 250 tribal families containing all essential food items in the presence of the Superintendent of Police Ms. Divya Sara Thomas.
Isha Foundation has also been providing food packages to the medical fraternity and health care team of 60 Government hospitals for the last 50 days in Karnataka, amid the second wave of the COVID19 pandemic.
On this occasion of Yoga Day, Sadhguru committed to providing more support for the tribals and downtrodden in Karnataka. In a message to the state’s Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa, he offered to help the people of Karnataka in all ways the government would like Isha foundation to be associated with.
Sadhguru said “The sole carrier in this pandemic is the human being. If we as human beings become conscious and bring Yoga into everyone’s life, stopping the pandemic in its tracks is very much in our hands.”
