Sadhguru's Miracle of the Mind -- a free meditation app -- has crossed one million downloads in just 15 hours, outpacing ChatGPT's adoption at the early stages.
The app was launched on Feb 26 which coincided with Mahashivratri and is now trending in 20 countries, including India, Canada, the USA, the UK, Germany, and Australia, India Today reported.
The app is available in English, Tamil, Hindi, Russian, and Spanish. It has a seven-minute guided meditation feature which has reportedly gone viral due to its simple and effective approach.
Sadhguru's offering comes with an AI-powered wisdom tool to offer insights from the spiritual leader's teachings.
Meanwhile, he emphasised on the importance of mental health while addressing the success of the app on X.
In other news, the Supreme Court on Friday refused to interfere with an order passed by the Madras High Court, quashing notices of the Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board against Sadhguru's Isha Foundation in connection with the construction of buildings in the foothills of Velliangiri mountains, allegedly without prior environmental clearance.
A bench of Justices Surya Kant and N Kotiswar Singh said that there should not be any coercive action against Isha Foundation's Yoga and Meditation Centre constructed in Velliangiri hills of Coimbatore.
The apex court said Yoga and Meditation Centre will comply with all environmental norms and directions of the pollution control board.
Tamil Nadu’s Advocate General P S Raman said the only apprehension is that the show cause notices, which were quashed by the High Court should not become permanent gate-pass for the institution against any kind of inspection by the concerned state authorities, either on pollution angle or building angle.
