Sadhguru (Jaggi Vasudev) is a flamboyant Hindu guru, based in Coimbatore in southern India. I don´t quite understand the man´s philosophy, but it seems to be a mixture of Shaivism, Tantrism, Osho and weird speculations about Shiva or "Adiyogi" being an alien! Often seen driving an expensive Tesla car, or giving interviews to the media in Mumbai, Sadhguru also has a more somber side.
In the clip above, he and some followers have travelled to Manasarovar Lake in the Himalayas, close to Mount Kailash, a mountain associated with Shiva. The location is apparently on the Chinese side of the border. Sadhguru claims that there are "aliens" in the lake, and that they really are from outer space. To me, the whole thing looks like a slightly shamanistic possession ritual. Before the modern UFO craze, whatever strange "beings" may exist in Manasarovar would of course be seen as guardian spirits of said lake, not as aliens from another world.
Still, an interesting reimagining of an ancient tradition. And perhaps a genuine paranormal phenomenon?
