1. Death; An Inside Story: A book for all those who shall die
Death is a taboo in most societies in the world. But what if we have got this completely wrong? What if death was not the catastrophe it is made out to be but an essential aspect of life, rife with spiritual possibilities for transcendence? For the first time, someone is saying just that.
In this unique treatise-like exposition, Sadhguru dwells extensively upon his inner experience as he expounds on the more profound aspects of death that are rarely spoken about. From a practical standpoint, he elaborates on what preparations one can make for one's death, how best we can assist someone who is dying and how we can continue to support their journey even after death.
Whether a believer or not, a devotee or an agnostic, an accomplished seeker or a simpleton, this is truly a book for all those who shall die!

3. Mind is your Business and Body the Greatest Gadget
Mind is your Business
For most people, the mind seems to be an unruly cacophony, attempting to grasp and shape everything which falls in its purview. In mind is your business, Sadhguru explains that only if we make it “our business” to transform this uncoordinated mess into a well – coordinated symphony, will we able to use the mind, rather than be used by it.
Body the Greatest Gadget
BODY, THE GREATEST GADGET, is an introduction to the most sophisticated and incredible device on the planet. In the course of this book, Sadhguru explores the yogic physiology and the many subtle dimensions of the body.

Above all, the book is a glimpse of a possibility to live and function in a way that most human beings would consider superhuman.
4. Emotion and Relationships
Emotion: The Juice of Life
“One can make any emotion into a creative force in one’s life.”
– Sadhguru
It’s not just poetic license that allows us to refer to emotions as “juicy”. In a literal sense also, emotions are a chemical cocktail that course through our bodies. But while we have no problems with pleasant emotions, unpleasant emotions are the source of much angst in our lives. In Emotion: The Juice of Life, Sadhguru looks at the gamut of human emotions and how to turn them into stepping stones rather than stumbling blocks..
Relationships: Bond or Bondage
“If you enhance yourself into a very beautiful state, everyone will want to hold a relationship with you.”
– Sadhguru
Human beings constantly make and break relationships. Unfortunately, relationships can make and break human beings too. Why are relationships such a circus for most of us? What is this primal urge within us that demands a bond – physical, mental, or emotional – with another? And how do we keep this bond from turning into bondage? These are the fundamental questions that Relationships: Bond or Bondage looks at as Sadhguru shares with us the keys to forming lasting and joyful relationships, whether they are with husband or wife, family and friends, at work, or with the very existence itself.
5. Adiyogi: The Source of Yoga
"Shiva does not spell religion. Shiva spells responsibility -- our ability to take our very life process in our hands.''
-- Sadhguru
'Shi-va' is 'that which is not', a primordial emptiness; Shiva is also the first-ever yogi, Adiyogi, the one who first perceived this emptiness. Adiyogi is symbol and myth, historic figure and living presence, creator and destroyer, outlaw and ascetic, cosmic dancer and passionate lover, all at once.A book like no other, this extraordinary document is a tribute to Shiva, the Adiyogi, by a living yogi; a chronicle of the progenitor of mysticism by a contemporary mystic. Here science and philosophy merge seamlessly, so do silence and sound, question and answer--to capture the unspeakable enigma of Adiyogi in a spellbinding wave of words and ideas that will leave one entranced, transformed.
6. Life and Death in One Breath and Joy 24 x 7: Jeetendra Jain Explores Joy with Sadhguru
Life and Death in One Breath
Life and Death in One BreathFor ages, most of humanity has placed "life" and "death" at two ends of the existential spectrum -favoring one, fearing the other and continuously floundering between the two. Only when someone who has consciously traversed between both life and death offers to articulate some aspects of it, does humanity get a glimpse of what lies beyond the horizon of its normal perception. With his extraordinary insights, coming from a profound inner experience, Sadhguru reveals that life and death are, in fact, two sides of the same coin. It is only by embracing both that we can break the shackles of our self-made struggles and be set free. In his own words, he says: "Death is a cosmic joke. If you get the joke, when you fall on the other side, it will be wonderful. If you don't get the joke, when you are here you fear the other side and when the other side comes, you just don't know what it is about. If death becomes a laughing matter in your life, life becomes an utterly effortless process, there is no need to restrain yourself in the process of life, you can live your life absolutely, totally". "The distance between your life and death is just one breath, isn't it?" - Sad guru.
