Sadhguru Tips: In a culture where premarital sex is prohibited and relationships are generally veiled in secrecy, Sadhguru, also known as Jaggi Vasudev, provides a nuanced viewpoint on the subject. He believes that rather than being a question of good or wrong, this is an individual decision that needs to be made with awareness and understanding. Let’s explore Sadhguru’s advice on navigating these facets in the ever-evolving world of today.
How Societal Norms Shape Our Understanding
Sadhguru highlights that traditional Indian society managed human sexuality by emotionally binding individuals at a young age. Children were often told whom they would marry, even before puberty. This early emotional attachment was intended to guide them through the turbulent teenage years, keeping them focused and stable. By their late teens, most would marry and quickly engage in family life, which settled both emotional and physical needs.
The Shift in Modern Relationships
But modern civilisation has changed tremendously. Professional stability can take much longer to achieve, and education frequently lasts into the mid-20s. People are at their most hormonally active during this time. Unlike in the past, young people nowadays are not guided by any cultural or societal structure regarding how to manage their sexual wants, and many are not following any ascetic or spiritual path that could aid in the transformation of these energy. In a situation like this, giving in to or repressing basic desires can have negative social effects including mental illness and even violence.
Addressing Physical and Emotional Needs
Even while premarital sex is a natural concern, Sadhguru notes that it’s important to keep in mind that Indian society is still very emotional. Engaging in physical relationships without the necessary emotional connection can cause emotional distress for a lot of people. He therefore recommends that in order to avoid upsetting social structures, society should study and openly debate how to strike a balance between physical and emotional requirements.
