Sadhguru's daughter shares father's health update after emergency brain surgery
Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev also shared a video from his hospital bed at Apollo Hospital after the emergency brain surgery, sharing a health update.
Messages of a speedy recovery poured in from all quarters for spiritual leader Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev who underwent an emergency brain surgery at a private hospital in Delhi on Sunday. He had suffered "life-threatening" bleeding in the skull and is now recovering well, a senior doctor at Delhi’s Indraprastha Apollo Hospital said on Wednesday.
His daughter, Radhe Jaggi, too shared an update on her father’s health.
“For those asking, Sadhguru is doing well and recovering quickly,” Radhe Jaggi wrote on Instagram Stories on Wednesday.
Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev, who is the founder of Coimbatore-headquartered Isha Foundation, shared a video from his hospital bed.
"The Apollo hospital neurosurgeons cut through my skull to try and find something but found nothing -- totally empty. So they gave up and patched it up. Here I am in Delhi with the patched-up skull but no damaged brain," Jaggi Vasudev, 66, said in the video which was posted on his Instagram account.

The spiritual leader had been suffering from severe headaches for the last four weeks, the hospital said.
“Despite the severity of the pain, he continued with his normal daily schedule and social activities and even conducted the Maha Shivaratri function on March 8. He ignored all the pain and continued with all meetings,” Dr Vinit Suri, the hospital's senior consultant neurologist, said in a video.
However, the spiritual leader's headache worsened by March 15, when he consulted Dr Suri over the phone.
Suri immediately suspected a subdural haematoma and advised an urgent MRI, it added.
The spiritual leader underwent a brain MRI on the same day, and it revealed massive bleeding in the skull.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi was among those who wished him a speedy recovery.
"Spoke to @SadhguruJV Ji and wished him good health and a speedy recovery," PM Modi said in a post on X on Wednesday.
Responding to the Prime Minister's wishes, Sadhguru wrote back, "Beloved Pradhan Mantri ji, I should not be a concern to you. You have a nation to conduct. Overwhelmed by your concern, on my way to recovery. Dhanyavad (Thank you)."
