Prominent spiritual leader Sadhguru has expressed deep concern over the recent arrest of Chinmoy Krishna Das, a Hindu priest and leader associated with ISKCON (International Society for Krishna Consciousness), in Bangladesh. Das was detained by the Dhaka Metropolitan Police on November 25, 2024, under unclear circumstances, igniting concerns within the Hindu community and beyond.
Chinmoy Krishna Das, also a spokesperson for Bangladesh’s Sanatan Jagaran Mancha, was reportedly arrested in connection with ongoing tensions and protests involving the rights of Hindus in Bangladesh. The incident has escalated due to the increasingly volatile situation for minorities in the country. Local reports indicated that he was arrested following a rally advocating for the protection of minority rights and the establishment of a tribunal to address anti-Hindu violence. The arrest comes amid widespread protests against the detention, with demonstrators rallying for his immediate release.
Sadhguru, known for his global influence and spiritual leadership, shared his concerns on social media, highlighting the urgency of safeguarding the rights of minorities. In his statement, he emphasized the importance of peace and mutual respect in the region. His comments add to growing international pressure on the Bangladeshi government to address the issue and ensure the safety and security of the Hindu community, which has faced increasing persecution in recent years.

The arrest of Chinmoy Krishna Das follows a broader pattern of civil unrest in Bangladesh, with sedition charges being leveled against various Hindu leaders. Many view these actions as politically motivated, designed to suppress the voices advocating for minority rights in the country. As tensions mount, there is a growing call for international intervention to secure the release of Chinmoy Krishna Das and ensure the protection of religious freedoms in Bangladesh.
This case continues to highlight the delicate balance between religious freedoms and state control in Bangladesh, with global leaders like Sadhguru urging for peaceful resolutions to the ongoing crisis.
