In her maiden trip to India, German Singer-Songwriter CassMae, popular on social media for her enchanting covers of Indian classical songs, visited the Isha Yoga Center in Coimbatore and met spiritual leader Sadhguru.
Dedicating Sadhguru his favourite Sanskrit chant “Nirvana Shatakam”, composed by great scholar and spiritual luminary Adi Shankaracharya, CassMae touched everyone’s heart. To honour her devotion, Sadhguru presented her with his own flower garland, and also blessed her.
CassMae, who was born visually impiared, shared that this moment with Sadhguru left her speechless.
Sharing this video on social media platform X, Sadhguru said, “Namaskaram CassMae! Wonderful to have you here with us at the Isha Yoga Center and an absolute treat to hear you sing in a language that knows no barriers: Devotion. You are a classic example of making an impairment into Empowerment. My Best Wishes & Blessings to you.”
Overwhelmed, CassMae responded, “Wow, these are the most inspiring words I have ever heard. I really enjoyed being with you.”
During her stay at the Isha Yoga Center, CassMae also learnt Yoga practices for inner wellbeing, experienced Indian cultural traditions and temples, and heard about the foundation’s multiple ecological and social outreach efforts (including the Save Soil movement). Isha Yoga Center is dedicated to raising human consciousness, helping individuals shift to healthier lifestyles, seek a higher level of self-fulfilment, and realise their full potential.
“When I’ll go back to Germany I will let all the impressions of India sink in and will have many new ideas for writing songs,” the 21-year-old singer said.
