Save Soil Movement: Braving sandstorms, Sadhguru leads the Movement to the 'Island of Pearls' Bahrain

Save Soil Movement: Sadhguru, who was addressing the audience on the eve of the Buddha Pournami, started with reminding the significance of the day and briefly narrated the story of enlightenment of Gautam Buddha.

After conducting a series of successful events in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Sadhguru advanced further into the Middle East and reached Bahrain also known as Peral the “Island of Pearls.” In yet another display of grit and determination Sadhguru rode straight from 4.30 PM to 12.30 AM to reach Bahrain. After weathering cold, rain and snow in Europe, the Middle East expectedly welcomed him to sandstorms.  While leaving Riyadh, Sadhguru braved through the sandstorm with gusts of wind at 65 kmph that even made his front wheel wobble.

Sadhguru, who was addressing the audience on the eve of the Buddha Pournami, started with reminding the significance of the day and briefly narrated the story of enlightenment of Gautam Buddha. Speaking on the catastrophic impact of soil extinction Sadhguru pointed that the forced migration as a result of dying soil will have devastating consequences on women and children. He also cited the Sudan war for fertile land that claimed 260,000 lives, half of which were of children below the age of 6 reflecting the impact a dying soil can have on the vulnerable population. Forced migration will have devastating consequences on women and children, so the women of the world must stand up to ensure this doesn’t happen.
