As soon as he posted this, Twitter was quick to explain to him that a ‘golden shower’ isn’t all that Sadhguru thinks it to be.
Sadhguru recently congratulated Hima Das on her stellar show over the last couple of weeks, where she bagged 5 gold medals in just a month, making the whole country proud.
Hima Das, a Golden shower for India. Congratulations and Blessings. -Sg @HimaDas8 #HimaDas https://t.co/lKtlDWkUFd

In the tweet, he congratulated and blessed Hima Das, adding that her laurels were a golden shower to India.
Guruji, May you enjoy many more golden showers too ✋🏼 #GoMutraBucketChallenge

Golden Shower? Really? Bloody hell. Phony American accent is all very well, but please, what about getting the idiom too? https://t.co/hsEsCmR6uJ

In English Golden Shower means something gross & kinky.

He could’ve used one of our own languages to write what he meant.
Even if he said gold rain or gold shower, it would’ve been better.
Of course, there were also some people who understood what Sadhguru meant, and backed his well-meaning but poorly worded tweet.
Here’s what Golden shower actually means, get a life Leftists, you made it look so obvious!

Just a day after Sadhguru was seen at Chandrayan’s launch, you took out a 6 days old tweet!
Atleast Kuch naya to laao https://t.co/H5qNhYwIG5
it may be a slang but his intentions are nowhere near to slang. So, all the wannabe purists out there, just calm down.

Why is this overreaction, That was a light hearted tweet, and there is no reason he will know this slang words…?
— ARV (@v_ashutosh) July 24, 2019
Most of us dont know this…
I had to literally google the word “Golden shower” to know why people are abusing him. Bhai dimag tumlogo ka ganda hai. Kitna porn dekhte ho tumlog be?
