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.

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...

Austerity Debate

The Austerity Debate had fatal blow on two of the Ministers of the UPA ver2.0. Shri S M Krishna and Shri Sashi Tharoor. The later bore the brunt of the joke on Cattle Class that was for me a prompt, answer to a prompt question on "Twitter". The Indian Sub Continent has been a different society and here the show of wealth is only permitted in marriages. People by culture are expected to practice Austerity... the debate is in fact between consumerism and Austerity. between saving and spending. It should not be made limited to the Public Money and Self Money. The balance of consumerism and saving in India protected us from being the victim of the great Economic Debacle. When we expect the exercising of Austerity we Expect Savings on unnecessary expences. When we expect exercising of the Austerity we Expect a reasonable Lifestyle and not the Cattle Class for the Ministers. The ministers avoiding the private Jets and even travelling long distance in Business Class is welco...
