Sadhguru's gesture has come at a time when Tamil Nadu is reeling under a second onslaught of the Covid-19 virus. Last year, Sadhguru contributed Rs. 11.54 crore to Isha’s community outreach efforts in villages around the Yoga Center in Thondamuthur. The funds were raised through an online auction of three of his paintings. Isha volunteers used the proceeds from the auction to provide food and an immunity booster drink every day to thousands of people to protect them from starvation, due to loss of livelihoods during the lockdown.
Isha volunteers continue to provide Nilavembu Kasayam every day in villages, now famously dubbed as 'Corona Tea' by the villagers. The bitter herbal concoction has gained a huge following with even children gulping it down gratefully and several people testifying to its positive impact on their chronic health conditions besides strengthening the immune system.
Isha also supported the local administration with medical infrastructure and supplies including distribution of face shields, sanitizers and PPE kits to frontline workers and equipping local primary care centers with necessary infrastructure.
