Sept. 28, 2024 – “In the face of growing isolation, our sense of community is more important than ever,” Dr. Murthy added before stressing: “The epidemic of loneliness is not just about feeling sad or disconnected; it is about the fundamental human need for social connection.”
His comments to Newsweek come ahead of a webinar dialogue between Dr. Murthy and Yogi and spiritual leader Sadhguru at Harvard Medical School, in Boston, on Saturday.
“Having both Sadhguru and the US surgeon general speaking about this global phenomenon will represent a cross-cultural dialogue, between Western medicine and Eastern spirituality,” event promoters said.
Sadhguru is the founder of the Isha Foundation, which is “dedicated to raising human consciousness” to “foster global harmony through individual transformation.”
He told Newsweek: “Loneliness is the incubation period for mental illnesses. Feeling lonely in a pretty crowded world is a symptom of a psychological situation brewing where large segments of the population could be approaching mental illness at pandemic levels.
