The Isha Foundation presents a public talk by Sadhguru at 7 p.m., May 8, at the Back Bay Events Center, in Boston. Organizers say the event offers a rare occasion to be in Sadhguru’s presence and explore life’s deepest questions.

An author, poet and internationally renowned speaker, Sadhguru has been an influential voice at major global forums, including those held at the United Nations, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the World Economic Forum. Sadhguru is considered a realized yogi and mystic, with the ability to make the ancient yogic sciences relevant to contemporary minds. His approach does not ascribe to any belief system, but offers proven methods for self-transformation.
