World Court Judge Meets Sadhguru, Extends Support to Cauvery Calling

28 February 2020, Coimbatore: Justice Dalveer Bhandari from the International Court
of Justice at The Hague met Sadhguru, Founder, Isha Foundation at Isha Yoga Center
today. The Justice lauded the Cauvery Calling initiative launched by Sadhguru last
September. The initiative aims to revitalize river Cauvery through a massive plantation
program that will enable lakhs of farmers to plant high-value trees on their own
farmlands in the river basin, for economic gain. Justice Bhandari extended his support
for the initiative.

“Sadhguru has been giving a new meaning to the role of a Guru. While actively engaged
with spiritual activities, Sadhguru is also engaged actively with the contemporary
challenges of the society,” Justice Dalveer Bhandari said.

Cauvery Calling has garnered international interest and attention as a possible blueprint
for reversal of desertification and water scarcity in tropical regions globally. Several UN
bodies including the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP), United Nations
Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) and United Nations Framework
Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) have met Sadhguru over the past year at
various platforms to discuss the scope and impact of the initiative.
