As cricket fever grips the nation with IPL 2025 in full swing, spiritual leader Sadhguru is pitching a whole new kind of game

Introducing the Inner Power League (IPL): a mindful, meditative journey that runs parallel to the high-stakes cricket season

Indian spiritual leader Sadhguru is known for his rather unique perspectives, and this time, he's set his sights on the Inner Power League.

It's not a new kind of cricket league, but rather a mindful journey that runs parallel to the high-stakes IPL season, blending spirituality with sports fandom in a rather unexpected—and strangely fun—way.

As cricket fever grips the nation with IPL 2025 in full swing, Sadhguru is pitching a whole new kind of game—one that’s played not on the field, but within.

A League of Inner Champions

Launched via the "Miracle of Mind" app, the Inner Power League invites users to support their favorite IPL teams by participating in daily 7-minute guided meditations. Each meditation earns "runs" not just for personal growth, but also for the team the user chooses to support.

As the official description says, “It’s not about cricket scores, it’s about inner scores.” Well, kind of. You still score points, but they’re earned through inner silence instead of sixes and wickets.

The campaign, spearheaded by Sadhguru and Isha Foundation, aims to shift the way fans experience the IPL—offering a space to turn the excitement of cricket into a chance for deeper self-awareness.

How Does It Work?

Participants can join any IPL team they like within the Inner Power League. From that point on, every daily meditation they complete adds runs to their team’s total. There's even a real-time leaderboard showing how each team is performing—though it’s based on collective calmness, not cricket stats.

Here’s where it gets even more interesting:

Invite friends and earn 50 runs per invite.

The platform tracks total participants (currently 5,599 and counting).

Users can view the overall league run count, offering a sense of shared momentum.

Caps, but Not the Cricket Kind

In true IPL fashion, there are also cap winners—though these ones are for the meditators:

Orange Cap: Awarded to the top meditators of the league.

Purple Cap: Given to the top referrers (yep, the ones who bring in the most friends).

The reward? Recognition, inner peace, and probably a very calm WhatsApp group of meditators cheering on their favorite teams.

Why It Matters

Sadhguru’s unique twist on the IPL season reflects a growing trend: people looking for mindfulness without missing out on cultural moments. While cricket continues to dominate India’s entertainment calendar, initiatives like this create a bridge between mental well-being and mass participation.

It also helps that the Miracle of Mind app is incredibly accessible—just 7 minutes a day, no cost, no equipment, and no risk of injury (except maybe from sitting too straight).

As one user noted in the app store reviews, “Never thought I’d meditate for my IPL team, but here I am. And I love it.”

The Inner Power League might sound unusual at first—but maybe that’s exactly the point. In a world that’s constantly speeding up, this initiative nudges us to pause, breathe, and find strength not just in batting stats, but in stillness.

So whether you're rooting for Chennai or Mumbai, now’s your chance to play your own version of the league—from the inside out.
