I will tackle one subject for now and lets use that as a baseline to see if what is being stated is complete gobbledykook or something that is poorly understood.
> His speech on water having memory, deconstructed by a chemist here
This is the one I will tackle for now. The quoro link you gave talks about why this presumed IIT guy thinks water can't have memory and goes into structure of water molecules etc etc
here are some readings which suggests we are yet to understand the properties and structure of water well enough.

EZ Water: Water has three phases – gas, liquid, and solid; but findings from our laboratory imply the presence of a surprisingly extensive fourth phase that occurs at interfaces. The formal name for this fourth phase is exclusion-zone water, aka EZ water. This finding may have profound implication for chemistry, physics, and biology.

Professor Gerald Pollack is Founding Editor-in-Chief of the scientific journal, WATER and is recognized as an international leader in science and engineering.
The University of Washington Faculty chose Pollack, in 2008, to receive their highest annual distinction: the Faculty Lecturer Award. He was the 2012 recipient of the coveted Prigogine Medal for thermodynamics of dissipative systems. He has received an honorary doctorate from Ural State University in Ekaterinburg, Russia, and was more recently named an Honorary Professor of the Russian Academy of Sciences, and Foreign Member of the Srpska Academy. Pollack is a Founding Fellow of the American Institute of Medical and Biological Engineering and a Fellow of both the American Heart Association and the Biomedical Engineering Society. He recently received an NIH Director's Transformative R01 Award for his work on water, and maintains an active laboratory in Seattle.Pollack is recognized worldwide as a dynamic speaker and a scientist willing to challenge any long-held dogma that does not fit the facts

Nobel Prize winner and virologist, Prof. Luc Montanier, succeeded in further continuing research to reveal that water contains the electrochemical properties of a substance, even after it is diluted, and has called this phenomenon “DNA Teleportation.” There are other German and Russian scientists that have also been studying the behavior of water in a similar fashion with the same results.

and here is the reddit thread working hard to debunk the Nobel winner's findings claiming contaminants are the best explanation and not his hypothesis
here is his actual paper with references at the end

So as you can see there are enough indicators to suggest that there is something serious here to keep doing further research and understand it better. It requires people who think outside the box and are willing to risk challenging the establishment. That is surely not this presumed IIT guy on Quora who wants to follow only the beaten path.
Sadhguru's words on this water memory isn't linked anywhere here and if my memory serves me right it has been answered in context of people's questions. Questions like why do we sprinkle holy water in temples or when a new home is inaugurated, is Ganga jal holy etc etc.
He always answered truthfully to the extent of his knowledge and based on the audience. I haven't seen him state these views out of the blue when talking to verified scientists cause the subject never comes up.
I am happy to tackle the others tropes once this discussion dies down.
