what do you think of movements like Sadhguru's Cauvary Calling -- to replenish the greenery in India's agricultural areas and bring back prosperity to farmers who are on the brink of suicide. I find his talks very inspirational, from someone halfway across the planet.

I think he is a charlatan who preys on insecurities and charges hefty amounts for his seminars. He was holding one such environmental one and the organization itself was deemed pretty bad for the environment. So much so that the PM didn't show up.

They've planted 35 million trees[1] through volunteer activity, trained farmers and provided schooling to poor villagers, and they are bad for environment? what sources are you using? And secondly, could you be so kind as to provide your preferred alternative organization that provides these resources in the country? I would like to learn why you think their efforts are disingenuous, and how they would function as an organization , buying assets such as centres/schools etc without charging rich(relative to the 400m starving ones in the country) people fees to attend yoga/meditation retreats.

I have only heard but have not taken the time. To be honest, I think city-zens like myself are so far out from the agricultural areas that I have really never taken deep interest. But I have recently become more interested and I will read up.

"Prosperity" here means stable 2 meals a day...
