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.

The Dogs Life - Aftermath of the Mumbai Attack

We all were disturbed by the pictures running for over 60 Hours on the news Channel. The news was the Attack on the Financial Capital of India. The number of Terrorist said to be between 1-12 as per the government statement. The number of People Dead 195 approx in which 22 Foreigners died and around 325 people injured. But most important aspect is i felt that we all Stupid Common Men of India are living DOGS LIFE. Know why? ... It is because the 16 Soilders who died protecting us are given title of the 'Shaheed' which they deserve.
