Important Information on Sadhguru’s Brain Surgery Recovery
Pune, 20 March 2024: Sadhguru had been suffering from a severe headache for the last four weeks. Despite the severity of the pain, he had continued with his schedule and activities, even conducting the MahaShivaratri event on 8th March 2024.
The headache got extremely severe by 15th March 2024 afternoon when he arrived in Delhi. On advice of Dr Vinit Suri, Senior Consultant Neurologist, Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals, Sadhguru
underwent an urgent MRI at 4:30 pm the same day, which revealed a massive bleed in the brain. There was evidence of a 3-4 weeks old chronic bleed along with another fresh bleed which had
occurred within 24-48 hrs of the time of examination. Though he was advised immediate hospitalization, Sadhguru mentioned to the doctors that “I have never missed a single meeting in my last 40 years”. Despite severe and agonizing symptoms, he completed his scheduled meetings on 15th March, and the India Today Conclave on 16th March
under the effect of high dose of painkillers.
On 17th March 2024, Sadhguru’s neurological status rapidly worsened along with weakness of the left leg and marked worsening of headache with recurrent vomiting. He was finally admitted. A CT revealed a marked increase in brain swelling and life-threatening shift of the brain to one side. Managed by a team of doctors (Dr Vinit Suri, Dr Pranav Kumar, Dr Sudheer Tyagi and Dr S Chatterjee), he underwent an emergency brain surgery within a few hours of admission to relieve the bleeding in the skull. Sadhguru was weaned off the ventilator post-surgery.
Sadhguru has shown steady progress and his brain, body and vital parameters have improved to normal levels. His recovery has been better than expected and as per Dr. Suri “Sadhguru is healing himself, apart from the medical measures instituted by us”.
