In a personal video shared on Instagram titled  ‘Sadhguru’s Second Brain Surgery – Undisclosed Details’ , the 67-year-old described how a seemingly minor accident became life-threatening. He recounted an incident involving a monkey while he was swimming with his daughter. A monkey approached their house, trying to enter for fruit.

Instinctively trying to protect her, Sadhguru rushed inside to grab a stick but accidentally slammed his head into a closed glass door at full speed.

Image
  Date:  July 1, 2025 BJP has appointed  Ravindra Chavan , a prominent Maratha leader and four-time MLA from Dombivali, as its new Maharashtra state president. His elevation comes at a time when the party aims to strengthen its organisational base and reduce dependency on allies before the 2029 Assembly elections. Chavan (54) was made the  working president last December , especially after being dropped from the state cabinet, signalling a larger organisational role for him. Outgoing BJP chief Chandrashekhar Bawankule praised him, saying  “He is a loyal and committed karyakarta who works wholeheartedly without questions, making him acceptable to all leaders and workers.” Starting his political career as a  corporator in Kalyan-Dombivali Municipal Corporation in 2000 , Chavan later became its standing committee chairperson.

This development comes as India attempts to ease US concerns over high tariffs and show willingness to cooperate on trade reforms. In March 2025, the Indian government had suggested removing the equalisation levy on digital ads as part of the Finance Bill amendments. However, legal advisers to the Commerce Ministry now advise negotiators not to accept the US's current demand, as it imposes an obligation only on India. According to insiders, the US proposal lacked mutuality—it asked India to commit to not applying digital service taxes but made no such commitment from the American side. This was perceived as a "unilateral obligation" rather than a balanced agreement. India is cautious, especially since any legal commitment could limit its future policy o...
