Miracle of Mind, free meditation app by Sadhguru, to be launched in Nepali on International Day of Yoga

KATHMANDU: The Miracle of Mind meditation app, developed by volunteers of the Isha Foundation under the guidance of Sadhguru, will be launched in Nepali on Sunday, June 21, the International Day of Yoga. A special meditation session to mark the release will be held at T21 Palace, Baluwatar in Kathmandu.

The free app offers a guided, seven-minute meditation designed by Sadhguru to help users establish a regular practice and regain calm and focus. Sadhguru, a yogi and mystic who has led a movement to raise human consciousness for four decades, is credited with guiding the project.

It is said that growing mental health needs were a key reason for the Nepali roll-out. A recent global estimate cited in the press release puts the number of people living with mental health conditions at about 1.2 billion, nearly double the figure recorded in 1990. The Nepal Health Research Council (NHRC) is cited as estimating that roughly 10% of Nepali adults experience mental health issues in their lifetime, with up to 3.9 million adults affected overall, and Major Depressive Disorder and Anxiety Disorder are the most common conditions.

The app delivers a short, accessible meditation intended to help users manage stress and improve concentration. The initiative aims to reach a large global audience; the release notes an ambition to empower up to 3 billion people to explore the mind’s potential.

Miracle of Mind, first launched on February 26, 2025, was downloaded by 1 million people within the first 15 hours of its debut, according to the release, breaking the early adoption record of OpenAI’s ChatGPT, which took five days to reach the same milestone. Within 24 hours, it was reportedly trending in 20 countries, including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, Singapore, Germany and India. In India, it soared to the #1 spot in the Health & Fitness category on the iOS App Store.
