New Delhi: Spiritual leader Sadhguru was discharged from the hospital on Wednesday following an emergency brain surgery he underwent on March 17. He was hospitalised after he complained of severe headache for several weeks prior to the surgery, which took place at Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals in New Delhi.
Sangita Reddy, the Joint Managing Director of Apollo Hospitals Group, who met Sadhguru during his hospital stay, said, "The doctors overseeing Sadhguru's case have expressed satisfaction with his recovery. Despite being in the process of recovery, Sadhguru has maintained the same spirit. His dedication to global welfare, his acute intellect, and his sense of humour all remain unaffected. This development brings relief to the countless individuals who have been concerned about his health."
"Sadhguru had been suffering from severe headache for the last four weeks. Despite the severity of the pain, he continued with his schedule and activities, even conducting the MahaShivaratri event on 8th March 2024," a statement from Isha Foundation said earlier.
He had to undergo an emergency brain surgery after the headache got severe by March 14.

"The headache got extremely severe by 14th 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, 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," the Isha Foundation statement said.
Although the doctors advised of immediate hospitalisation, the spiritual leader completed his scheduled meetings on March 14 "under the effect of high dose of pain killers" before he got admitted to the hospital.
