Sadhguru’s book “Death: An Inside Story – A Yogi’s Guide to Life and Beyond” comes from someone who once proudly recounted killing animals—what do you make of that?

I recently came across a passage in Sadhguru: A Life (pg. 97) where Jaggi Vasudev (Sadhguru) talks about killing a monkey with his bare hands at the age of 17, after it allegedly attacked him. He describes holding it by the throat until “his thumb went right in” and then burying it in the garden—saying he had no ethical dilemma about it. He also mentions killing a chicken at age 8 when asked to do so at his grandfather’s house, calling it a part of growing up and practical learning.

Fast forward to today, Sadhguru is one of the most well-known spiritual leaders, writing books like “Death: An Inside Story – A Yogi’s Guide to Life and Beyond”, guiding millions on the deeper aspects of life, mortality, and karma.

I’m not posting this with judgment, but genuinely curious how others view this contrast:
Does sharing such stories from his youth, especially in a seemingly proud or detached tone, shift how you perceive his credibility or intentions as a spiritual guide?

Do you think these experiences are irrelevant to his message—or do they raise questions worth reflecting on?

Would love to hear your thoughts.
