We are trying to fill the void of our ignorance with all kinds of beliefs so that we feel confident living here.

Because you have not been conscious of your mortal nature.

We are heading towards soil extinction.

That's what we're going towards.

One of the greatest crimes that we have done in the world is to tell people that there is a better place than this. You're going to be sitting next to Sad Guru, the Yogic Mistig Visionary, also the founder of the Isha Foundation.

Sad Guru, it's such an hour.

I'm wonderful to have you here.

And you're the first man I'm meeting with the name Gita.

Not a female unfortunately.

No, no, usually female names are spelled with double E. Yes. This is proper Gita itself.

I'll tell you story, my parents were big fans of India.

Still are, my father passed, and they expected a baby girl but in the 60s they didn't have

the technology out of their disappointment they put gita on you so they prepared the clothes and the name but something else came up.

I want to I want to ask you a few questions, Sad Guru.

The first is relevant to how you grew up.

You've referred to your great-grandmother very often as a role model.

No, not a role model.

If she was my role model, you wouldn't be sitting here with me. But tell us a little bit.

Probably there are two ways of putting this.

One thing is, even when I was four or five years of age,

my thought process was just about the same as it is today.

So I don't know which is a reality whether I did not grow up or I was never a child.
