> Wow! One of the biggest con man has made it to HN as well?

Leaving aside whether you believe what he says, any citations on being a con man? Let alone the biggest con man?

>For those who really worry about soil and the facts spoken or presented by him, it is a total garbage and it done purely as a publicity stunt so that people will start buying the so called blessed soil from him (??).

Oh wow. That seems like the biggest publicity stunt, then , no? If heads of state are buying into this, this must be a very sophisticated plan.

> Buying the blessed soil (whose soil is it anyway?) will save the soil from degrading? Poeple get to buy some soil samples blessed (!!??) by this conman and keep it in their homes and expect the soil is saved while he happily walks towards the bank laughing about people's stupidity!!!

I didn't see a buy link in the web archive (the link is HN'ed), but perhaps you could enlighten us what you think he does with the money?

> educating people about sustainable living and introducing technology guidance, reducing dependencies and a changed economic models

You hit the nail on the head. This article seems to be about educating people about sustainable living and the dangers we humans pose to nature. Geniunely curious , what exactly are you so upset about? Sadhguru's teachings ? His article? Hidden agendas ?

Jaggi's truth for the people to read and understand about how the conman (the biggest of all with the blessings of the ruling party) built the colossal wealth.

If you have enough money and political support, you could pretty much do anything in this world!

> they are a weird and anti-environment news source

This is a bizzare assertion that's trivially disproved. Just searching for 'environment' on Newslaundry brings up articles hilighting environmental destruction and advocating conservation:

It's Jaggi Vasudev who is a fucking charlatan.
