Sadhguru Sannidhi is the Isha Foundation’s spiritual center located near Chikkaballapur, in the outskirts of Bengaluru, Karnataka. It is envisioned as a powerful space for inner transformation, offering a consecrated atmosphere for yoga, meditation, and spiritual growth in Southern India.
Overview
Sadhguru Sannidhi is part of Isha Foundation’s growing presence beyond its main headquarters in Coimbatore. Built under the guidance of Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev, the Sannidhi serves as a regional anchor for those seeking spiritual tools rooted in yogic science. It brings the energy of Dhyanalinga and other consecrated spaces to the Karnataka region, enabling access to those who may not travel to the Isha Yoga Center in Tamil Nadu.
Location
Sadhguru Sannidhi is located in Chikkaballapur District, approximately 65 km from Bengaluru city center and about 25–30 km from Kempegowda International Airport (IATA: BLR, ICAO: VOBL). The site is surrounded by the Nandi Hills region, making it a peaceful and natural environment for spiritual practice.
Key Highlights
- Yogic Infrastructure: The center is being developed to include meditative spaces, yoga halls, gardens, and spiritual offerings.
- Consecration Events: Spiritual programs and volunteer activities are held regularly, including consecration of spaces, mass meditation sessions, and Inner Engineering events.
- Adiyogi Presence: A 21-ft Adiyogi statue is also planned at the site, mirroring the symbolic presence of the larger Adiyogi in Tamil Nadu.
Purpose and Vision
The goal of the Sannidhi is to bring consecrated spaces and daily spiritual processes closer to urban populations in Karnataka. This location allows more people to engage in Isha’s activities without needing to travel long distances. The Sannidhi will also support rural outreach initiatives, environmental campaigns, and yoga programs for different demographics.
Community Engagement
The center has already started hosting programs and community gatherings. Thousands of volunteers, donors, and spiritual seekers from Bengaluru, Chikkaballapur, and surrounding areas actively participate in ongoing projects, including plantation drives, yoga outreach, and social welfare campaigns.
Development Status
The project is being developed in phases. As of 2025:
- A portion of the land has been consecrated and opened to the public.
- Infrastructure for residential programs, yoga sessions, and volunteer stays is under construction.
- Several open-to-public events and initiation programs are now conducted on weekends and special occasions.
