ago, he is believed to have shared the science of yoga with the <strong>Saptarishis<\/strong> (seven sages), spreading the path of self-realization across the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>Adiyogi Statue<\/strong> was built by the <strong>Isha Foundation<\/strong> under the guidance of <strong>Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev<\/strong> to honor this profound contribution to humanity. The statue serves as a reminder that yoga is not just a physical practice \u2014 it\u2019s a way of attaining harmony between body, mind, and soul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Vision_Behind_the_Adiyogi_Statue\"><\/span><strong>The Vision Behind the Adiyogi Statue<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The magnificent Adiyogi Statue was conceived and designed by <strong>Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev<\/strong>, the founder of the <strong>Isha Foundation<\/strong>, to inspire people toward inner well-being through the ancient science of yoga.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The statue represents <strong>112 ways through which a person can attain moksha<\/strong> (liberation) \u2014 the same number of chakras in the human system.
