Be it anxiety, heartbreak or addiction to online games like PUBG, Sadhguru’s motivational session, Youth and Truth, at Bennett University on Thursday evening, spanned many topics that are not often discussed in classrooms. Sadhguru 's visit to Bennett University in Greater Noida saw an engaging conversation in which he shared many important life lessons with the students and faculty, who had been eagerly awaiting his arrival. It wasn't just his session that the students enjoyed; he surprised them with his exceptional frisbee skills as well. Before Sadhguru began his talk, Mohit Chauhan gave a brief performance and sang hits like 'Dooba Dooba' and 'Na Ja Bewafa' to enthusiastic applause from the audience. The singer, who has been attending Sadhguru’s sessions at different locations since September, said, "I'm very happy to be at Bennett University. This is the first time I'm visiting, and it's a great campus and lovely venue. It's just so beautiful. To perform here was special.”Singer Mohit Chauhan gave a brief performance before the sessionMost questions from the students were related to everyday problems. From parental disapproval of tattoos to heartbreak and PUBG, the questions got witty replies from Sadhguru. When a student asked him his views on tattoos, Sadhguru said, “Today in the US, tattoo removal is a bigger business than tattoo-making because people get the name of their beloved tattooed, and then when it's over, they try to erase it. If you write something on your forehead, it should be something that matters to you for the rest of your life. Because if the relationship fails, you'll have to peel off your skin. Also, everything that you are need not be written on your face. You're already telling us your beliefs through your tattoos - someone has a Shiva tattoo, someone has Jesus. If you want to live a simplistic life, it's okay. If you are looking for more complex involvement in life, it is better that people are not able to mark you in any particular way.”Sadhguru surprised students with his exceptional frisbee skillsWhen a student asked Sadhguru how one should deal with anxiety - a common problem for youngsters - he replied that one should take responsibility for one’s mental health. He said, “What is coming from within you, is it not your responsibility to fix it? A number of people who lie in bed till noon think those who get up at 7am and go for running, swimming, etc, are idiots. They think they are enjoying their lives but after some time, when how they treat their bodies starts showing, they think that others are blessed with good health and they are not. Like your body, what happens to your mental health is also your responsibility. Like physical illness, mental illness can be caused by many factors, but you can't fix sadness by just visiting a doctor. Your mind is the most sophisticated chemical factory. The question is, are you a great manager of this factory or a lousy manager?"A point of discussion which had everyone's attention was PUBG. “I haven’t watched or played the game, but I've heard about it through Prime Minister Narendra Modi. I don’t know about the statistics in India, but in the United States, they are saying that between 18 and 26 years of age, people are spending four to six hours on an average on these games. I think this will produce a dumb generation. If you feel heroic by shooting down some animated pictures, it's just stupid. Playing a game for some time is fine, but if you are playing only a game all through your life, I think you are trying to find some substance that you don’t have. You want to be a warrior without having to shed your own blood,” he said.Much has happened since Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul were suspended and then reinstated by the BCCI for their misogynistic comments on Koffee With Karan . When a student asked if parenting was responsible for such behaviour, he replied, “I don’t know the details of what they said, but they showed me one part of the conversation. Definitely, there is a problem with the parenting, a bit. Apart from that, it is also a certain segment of society, where on one level, they talk about gender equality, and on another level, they constantly demean women in many ways. So probably, these young boys got carried away. I think they must be penalised to some extent, but you should not destroy their careers. Shaming has happened, there is no need to hang them.”Another student asked Sadhguru that everbody teaches us to love, but nobody teaches us how to undo love. Sadhguru said, “I don’t know about a broken heart, because I gave away my heart very early in life so nobody could break it. What is a love affair? I'm not trying to de-romanticise the idea of love for you. Let’s say when you were 10, the world around you was normal. But as you turned 13, the neighbourhood girl who didn't mean a thing to you, suddenly became a goddess. This is because your intelligence is hijacked by your hormones. It makes you believe all kinds of things and when you look back, you think of it as stupid. There is nothing wrong with that, but we must understand what's happening to us, otherwise we might do idiotic things. It is not a question of morality, it is a question of handling our life sensibly.”BU students interacting with SadhguruThe seminar hall of the college was packed, and many students who couldn't be accommodated inside were watching the session being streamed live on several screens around the campus. Many told us that the conversation taught them a lot. Mehak Kapoor, a first-year BTech student, said, “It was insightful. I liked how he encouraged us to make peace with ourselves before worrying about our surroundings.” Varnika Sharma, a second-year Mass Communication student, added, “He talked about inner beauty, which made all of us feel really good about ourselves.”
