Miracle of Mind, a new meditation app by Sadhguru, has gained rapid traction, outpacing major tech applications in early adoption, surpassing 1 million downloads within just 15 hours of its launch. The sudden surge has sparked thoughts about the intersection of spirituality, technology, and influencer-driven digital trends and brand Sadhguru.
The app offers a 7-minute guided meditation in multiple languages, along with an AI-powered feature that provides insights from Sadhguru’s teachings. While the meditation app market is saturated, Miracle of Mind has leveraged Sadhguru’s massive following to drive downloads, with social media playing a crucial role in amplifying its reach.
Taking to X, Sadhguru positioned the app as a tool to address the global mental health crisis. “It is expected that by 2050, about 30-33% of the world’s population would be mentally ill… The Miracle of Mind app will teach you how to build this access,” he said in a post.
The timing of its launch coincides with growing concerns around mental health. India has one of the highest suicide rates in the world, and millions face mental health challenges with limited access to professional help. Meditation is often marketed as an alternative solution, though experts argue that digital wellness tools should not replace professional intervention.
The app’s rapid adoption has drawn comparisons to ChatGPT’s early rise, though the two serve different purposes. ChatGPT introduced AI-driven conversations to a mass audience, while Miracle of Mind blends AI with guided meditation, positioning itself as a tool for self-improvement.
While the app’s initial momentum signals growing interest in digital wellness, questions remain about its long-term impact. Critics argue that apps tied to a single personality often see short-lived surges, raising doubts about whether Miracle of Mind will sustain its popularity beyond Sadhguru’s existing follower base.
