In a crossover some people saw the spiritual leader coming Sadhguru recently joined The Vampire Diaries star Ian Somerhalder for a conversation on life, sustainability, and agriculture. The two also took part in a taste test, attempting to distinguish organically grown produce from crops grown using fertilizers. And the meeting has taken the Internet by surprise, with many joking that “the multiverse has officially reached the next level.”
Sadhguru’s tour with Ian Somerhalder
On Thursday, Ian took Instagram will be sharing a teaser reel of her conversation with Sadhguru, giving fans a glimpse of the unexpected crossover. The entire conversation is set to be released on YouTube on June 5.
The video was posted with a caption that read, “Turns out @Sadhguru knows a thing or two 👀 sat down with him to talk life, soil, regenerative agriculture and real solutions to one of the biggest crises facing us. The full video is live now on Sadhguru’s YouTube and the 1-hour conversation will premiere on June 5th 🌱 #SaveSoil @consciousplanet.”
The video captures several light-hearted moments between Ian and Sadhguru as they test their taste buds, attempting to differentiate organically grown produce from crops grown using fertilizers.
Ian is heard saying, “We’re going to try two different types of food, some from a local farm and some from a commercial supermarket.” Subsequently, Sadhguru corrects him, saying, “Neither food comes from a supermarket. Both come from farms. One is organically-rich, and the other is fertilizer-rich.”
During their conversation, the two also participated in a blind taste test to differentiate between organically grown products and crops grown using fertilizers. They tasted like blueberries, tomatoes, strawberries and carrots. Sadhguru was also offered to taste the cucumber, but he refused to eat it after sunset.
In the video, both Sadhguru and Ian differentiate organic produce from crops grown with fertilizer, identifying the differences.
Finally, Ian emphasizes, “So organic matter is what defines the health of the soil.” To this Sadhguru said, “This is very important. If you say it is 4% organic soil, I will decide for my child what kind of apple my child should eat. Now, if it costs a little more, I don’t mind paying because instead of eating 4 apples, 1 apple is good enough.”
The video ends on a humorous note, with Ian joking that he is taking Sadhguru on a date McDonald’s. And Sadhguru immediately replied, “Why aren’t you taking me to the whiskey factory?”, which left both of them stunned.
