Sadhguru takes his ‘Save Soil’ mission to Geneva on a bike

Day 16 of the 100-day journey being undertaken by Isha Foundation founder Sadhguru saw him arriving in Geneva from Rome after several hours of a challenging ride through wet and cold conditions. Upon arriving, the spiritual leader delivered his message seeking urgent attention to the issue of soil extinction, one of nature’s most undervalued resources.
