medals in Europe, Sadhguru sparked yet another debate.
He referred to national athlete Hima Das in his tweet
as a "Golden Shower." Although the phrase "golden shower"
is slang for urinating on someone during a sexual encounter, it appears that he
was unaware of this. He was obviously heavily trolling.
