Sadhguru Pledges Nepal Relief, Urges Five-Nation Himalayan Board
Sadhguru spoke at an event in Kathmandu after severe floods near the Nepal-Tibet border.
He promised Rs 1 crore to Nepal’s disaster relief fund.
He said Himalayan countries should work together because they share the same mountain region.
His proposed board would include India, China, Pakistan, Nepal and Bhutan.
Thousands of people are still missing after the floods.
Seventy-seven travelers and three Isha volunteers are among those unaccounted for.
Sadhguru said Nepal should not have to handle the disaster by itself.
He also said natural disasters should be explained through physical laws, not only mystical or religious ideas.
A ritual called Kala Bhairava Karma will be performed for those who died.
