Again looking at the good that Isha does, if it’s a cult, sign me up! As for money: https://isha.sadhguru.org/us/en/wisdom/article/should-the-spiritual-process

  So his argument is that he charges rich urban people for their own good because they are too spoilt to attend the program in bare minimum conditions in rural settings and they only commit when they have to spend money. I suppose he thinks rich people take only rich gurus seriously. It falls flat when you consider, to name just one example, Vipassana courses that are 100% free and taken very seriously by all participants. Nobody is walking in and out of those courses. The teachers are volunteers who are neither rich nor famous. It doesn’t lessen the seriousness of the participants. Edit: if there is any doubt Isha is a cult, please read the comments on the very page you have linked. Upselling more expensive seats, claiming “my master” ought to charge one a lifetime’s income or “1 child” to listen to his words.
