On Multi-Souled Beings vs. Single-Souled and on the Power of Vows
There is one other thing similar to the topic Sadhguru discusses about Downloading Exalted Beings. In another talk Sadhguru talks about single-souled bodies vs. multi-souled bodies. This is a real thing. If a Yogi and Yogini do the right kind of things in preparation yogic-wise they may have a multi-souled child instead of the usual single-souled one. He also said it takes truly extraordinary sadhana by both parents for a long, long time (were likely talking decades here) to do it which is probably one reason why it's so rare in the world these days. A multi-souled being can do "alone" what it would take a full magical lodge or fully-attended temple to accomplish otherwise when it comes to things like polarity magic or rituals.
In Dharmic cultures one may run across a painting or drawing of a 3 or 4 or 9+ faced being. In fact, I recall the Book of Revelations (I think it was Revelations) mentions a being with the face of a man, eagle, bull and lion. IE...a 4-faced higher Plane being...with only 1 of the souls housed in that body of purely human-karmic origin.
In Dharma traditions such paintings show multiple human faces upon a single human body. You can see 2 such paintings in the links below.

(3-faced = 3 souls housed in one body)
Here is another example:

11-faced = 11 souls housed in one body.
11 is also a holy number for other reasons in Dharma traditions. Sadhguru has a 1 hr 30 min talk on the significance of the number 11 in esoteric tantric and yogic systems.
The above graphics are from various Buddhist temples dedicated to 11-Faced Kuan Yin (aka Avalokitesvara). Yes, an exalted being - Bodhisattva of the 10th stage similar to what Sadhguru is talking about in the transcript on Downloading Exalted Beings. In Cosmic Doctrine terms a Lord of Flame. Yogiraj Satgurunath says Hindu Yogic lore calls such beings "Sages of the Fire Mist" - they are the lords in supra-cosmic control of all the fundamental elements. This being - Kuan Yin - has made powerful, grand vows to aid anyone who calls out for them - particularly if one calls upon them for aid in spiritual ascent but also for more ordinary needs. FYI - Avalokitesvara can change genders at-will according to the needs of circumstances. China and other far east Asian countries exalt this being as a goddess.
Vows are a special type of activation of will in that they create a Vow Form Realm on higher Planes. Both Master Hsuan Hua and Sadhguru have talked a bit about this. Whenever a human makes a vow or pledge with sincere intent it creates a corresponding Vow Form Realm on higher spiritual planes for that person. According to Sadhguru this means your Citta (Sanskrit - pronounced Cheetah - ie. your True Will/True Power as it truly is on the spiritual Planes) takes a certain "shape" (his exact words!) in order to ensure that that pledge is fulfilled. So Master Hsuan Hua says be very careful about what you vow - the universe (aka your own "true" soul - not your mere persona/personality for this incarnation) will definitely hold you to it in future lives - and if you don't have past lives recall you won't even know why certain situations you may not like keep cropping up over and over in those future lives. This is likely why breaking a vow or pledge can have such disastrous consequences upon future lives. It's likely because of these things that Jesus advised his disciples to avoid making vows and simply make a statement of what one wishes to do then practice following through on it.
Here is a song-mantra celebrating 11-faced Kuan Yin (lyrics provided)
It's one of my favorite songs. The entire mantra-song is in praise of an exalted being who bestows protection, gifts and guidance to devotees.

Some Notes:
Jnana - knowledge (in the mantra alluding to all-pervading knowledge)
Vairochana - an even more exalted being than 11-faced Kuan Yin according to Buddhist sutras!!!
Sagara - wisdom of discernment (comes from same root as english Sagacious)
Arahate - one who has attained to Mother Nature's all-pervading truth, not humanity's ever-changing "truth-narratives"
Maha Karunikaya
Maha = grand
Karuna = compassion
Kaya = body
ie. the all-pervading, grand divine, infinite body-of-compassion that hears the sounds of all beings. [See prior Sadhguru transcript titled The Real Reason Eastern Yoga and Tantric Traditions Emphasize Knowledge of One's Breath to get the full import of the next paragraph].
One of Avalokitesvara's (aka Kuan Yin's) primary vows is that they will follow the sound (vibration) to remove your troubles if you single-mindedly chant their name. Which admittedly - there's the rub because most humans whom have not trained their minds for superior single-focusing and ignoring distractions can't do this yet with consistency. You have to train for this like for any other skill one wishes to acquire.
Wanted to add: According to Master Nan - if you actually can pull off this kind of single-minded name chanting 11-faced Kuan Yin will not only remove many of your troubles they will open up the storehouse of cosmic-auspiciousness and grant you many boons. Master Nan says this is true of chanting the name single-mindedly of any of these grand cosmic exalted beings. If you can do it they will open up their cosmic storehouse and shower you with boons. One extra thing: Sadhguru says if you do this ignore the books advice to chant silently in your head. If you chant the name out loud you will get extra benefits silent chanting can't give. Only very high-level adepts (people who can easily reach samadhi within seconds) can get away with chanting a name like this silently in their head and still receive all the benefits.
Hinduism celebrates a different 11-faced being
Hanuman - the monkey god - who is renown for strength and wisdom. According to Sri Rohit Arya he would belong to the class of higher Plane blessed beings known as Typhonic Beings. Yogis and Yoginis who wish to cultivate strength and wisdom are often Hanuman devotees because many of his gifts to his devotees are along those lines.

Ok...because I'm in a sing-song mood I'm going to list some of my favorite songs and 1 song-mantras
2 or 3 Sounds of Isha songs (p.s. if you turn on Youtube's captions the lyrics will be automatically translated into english).
Song 1. Wave of Bliss - here's for all the JMG people who hope their pineal gland begins releasing its nectar (shhhhh....Sadhguru says the pineal gland is not the only organ in the human body that can produce 'bliss-secretions'!!! There are several others. It's just that it's the most famous one.)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrGqd_fcI4k
Song 2. Adiyogi:The Source of Yoga - song in praise of the first ever yogi who stepped down from his high seat and became Adiguru - the world's first known guru and teacher of the Saptarishis - the 7 Sages of lore of which Agastyamuni was one. Turn on Youtube captions for english lyrics.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sq8yDhlUfUE
Song 3. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfv_8esYGrU
Song 3 is in praise of the might of Adiyogi (who was given the Honorific 'Shiva' in Yogic tradition he was that elevated a being).
And 1 song-mantra
1. Jaya shiva shankara boom boom Hare hare - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_e_dob916RQ
The last is probably one of the most beautiful song-mantras I've ever heard.
