Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar attended the grand Mahashivratri celebrations at the Isha Yoga Center in Coimbatore, hosted by spiritual leader Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev.

The visit followed a personal invitation from Sadhguru, which Shivakumar accepted after a meeting at his residence.

Sharing his experience on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Shivakumar described his deep conversation with Sadhguru on life and spirituality. “Had a long conversation with Sadhguru about life and spirituality. Wisdom flowed like a river, and each of his words felt like a reasoned truth. My doubts about life, spirituality, and beyond were unveiled in his presence, and apt answers were found too,” he wrote in Kannada.

Calling life an “endless journey,” Shivakumar emphasized the importance of self-realization and inner peace. “True wealth means inner peace, self-realization, and that feeling—the truth that remains alive in every moment of life,” he concluded.
