Swami, Baba, Yoga Guru, and Businessman

Many faces and many facets of Yoga guru Baba Ramdevs Life came out in past 15 days. Baba Ramdev Landing in private jet at Delhi Airport on 1st of June and then three of top ministers of Union Government going to receive him and to placate him and to avoid another ANSHAN, to his breaking fast on 12 June at the hands of other spiritual leaders.
What happened in between was surprising. Baba Ramdev was forced to leave Delhi by the use of Lathicharge and Teargas Shells and the things about his wealth and lifestyle coming out in public. One Lady Rajbala going into coma because of police atrocities and the Baba Declaring wealth of 1100 Crores.
Baba Running a company of Ayurvedic Medicines and he himself acting as a brand ambassador of the ayurvedic medicines.
Baba also says that Swadeshi things to be used instead of foreign goods... but his own ashram as reported in one of the dailies uses the non swadeshi brands.
Baba also came out with a boycott list of the brands that he think should be boycotted which include televisions installed in the plush apartments at the ashram are either Sony or Samsung, both of which are in the list of foreign brands to be boycotted.
Babas aides use Nokia Samsung and Blackberry Phones and also the machines used in his pharmacy division are not swadeshi.. huge capacity plants for manufacturing ayurvedic drugs which he sells as the brand ambassador are all imported.
The Baba once face of swadeshi and yoga and pranayam turned out to be a business man promoting his own products by satryagraha so that he can earn profits... a unique thing that came out in the past fifteen days.
Dont know that whether one should have a guru or not because most of gurus are turning out to be Guru Ghantals in the present era.

Education: A Key Driver of Social Change and Economic Development

Education is not just a means to acquire knowledge and skills, but a powerful tool that can transform individuals, communities, and societies. It can contribute to economic growth, social cohesion, and democratic governance. Education is a fundamental human right and a public good that should be accessible to all, regardless of their background or circumstances. However, despite its importance, education remains a contested and politicized issue in many parts of the world. Governments, civil society, the private sector, and other stakeholders have different views and interests in shaping education policies and practices. This has led to unequal access to education, poor quality of education, and inadequate resources for education. To address these challenges, public policymakers and politicians need to understand the importance of education in shaping the society they want to create and serve. They need to recognize that education is not a neutral or technical matter, but a complex...

Government Schools as Backbone of Education System and its role in reduction of crime and improvement in Human Development Index.

Aam Aadmi Party and Arvind Kejriwal Government in Delhi and Bhagwant Maan Government in Punjab have always promised and focused on improving Government School's machinery. Do you know why is it important?  Whereas in BJP-ruled states constant efforts are made to close down the government schools and a strong push for private sector schools is going on. this has led to the closure of many government schools in name of merging. The government schools in States like Gujarat do not even have sufficient teachers. Over 1200 schools in Gujarat Run on one teacher. So the question arises - Why the Government schools needed? and What is the effect of closing down and deterioration of government Schools? Government schools are the backbone of education systems in many countries around the world, including many states within the United States. They provide access to quality education to millions of children who come from low-income families and cannot afford to attend private schools. However,...

Save early to earn more

Save early to earn more Prabhakar Sinha | TNN Time is money, goes the saying, which holds true in almost all aspects of life. But, it is more so in case of savings. If you start saving early, by the time you retire, you will have enough money to lead a prosperous retired life. When you start saving early, your saved amount gets a longer time to earn returns. Take for example, if you start saving at the age of 25, or just at the time when you get your first salary, your savings of Rs 5,000 per month, at a conservative return of 10% per annum, will swell to Rs 1.91 crore in 35 years or by the time you retire at the age of 60. But, if you start saving late, say, at the age of 30, your saving of Rs 5,000 per month will become Rs 1.14 crore. If you start at 35, the amount will become only Rs 67 lakh. And, at the age of 35, even if you start saving double the amount i.e. Rs 10,000 per month, by the time of retirement, that will become only Rs 1.34 crore. This is called power...
