The Madras High Court on Monday asked the counsel appearing for Isha Foundation founder Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev that why he got his daughter married, while encouraging other women to tonsure their heads and live like hermits.

A bench of Justices SM Subramaniam and V Sivagnanam said, “We want to know why a person who had given his daughter in marriage and made her settle well in life is encouraging the daughters of others to tonsure their heads and live the life of a hermitess. That is the doubt.”

The court was hearing a petition filed by retired professor S Kamaraj, who alleged that his daughters were “brainwashed” to reside at Isha Foundation.

While the two women, aged 42 and 39, said that they were staying at the foundation out of their own will and that no one was forcing them, the judges decided to probe the case further.
