Continuation: You may tune to any TV channels where-in you will notice the shift in emphasis in yoga practice. By far all prevous and new entrants to YOGA advocate on PRANAYAM/BREATHING excercises, Sukshma asanas and simple asanas in addtion to their regiment of <not so easy> and difficult postures. Added to this, they also give explanations as Ramdevji does. They are yet to stress on diet and open/positive frame of mind. As RamDevji says, he was also teaching traditional yoga and incidentally was drawn into the supernatural benefits of PRANAYAMS during this time. Now for more than six months,taking the help of modern Science & technolgy, Ramdevji has been able to document data and prove to the humanity that all his teachings do cure INCURABLE diseases. No doubt more research and exploration has to be done to bring credibility as the larger community is still not easily convinced of the SIMPLEST practices. They are still probably wonder-struck how simple breathing of FREE AIR can bring-about CURE, almost of all types of ailments. Instead of having adverse feeling towards him, one can test himself/herself by regularly practicing say for a few weeks and experience benifits.....
I totally agree that media should be unbiased about any artical. But look at the way you have written "Swami Ramdev Maharajji, as devotees call him, began his yoga programmes on Indian television in 2002. He claims that through Pranayama -- the yogic practice of breath control - all 'incurable diseases' can be cured." What do you mean by HE CLAIMS... Dont you Claim..Well I TOO CLAIM.... If you guys are so taken by Westernism then write my name too... I am proud oof my heritage and of the knowledge of pranayam.. Deep in your heart you know the value of Yoga and Pranayam.. but to write you write as if you are a ignorant westerner and writing some artical in Washingon Post or London Times or Khaleej Times.. Are you that ashamed to admit your heritage?? To show the greatness of all media people say .. Even Westerners do Yoga... WHY?? Are westerners the sole certifying authority in the world for yoga...
It is beyond any controversy, that the small package of yogik/pranayam kiryas ( prayanams -kapal bharti om vilom, bhambhri etc.) are not only useful in curing different uncurable (by conventional pathies)deseases but are also a source of tonning up the system which leads to leading a happy life. I had undergone a major heart surgery requiring heart valve replacement. I was prescribed certain anti coagulants and advised to keep my INR between 2-3. Even after two and a half years of the surgery, I was not able to bring back my good health and had to keep on changing the in take of medicines to keep the INR regular and had repeated attack of urinary infection and was not able to feel health. But now it is more than 4 months that I have been doing the yogik/prayanam exercises (although just for 20 minutes daily in the morning)by seeking them on the television. The result is that I have started feeling and I am coming back to my normal good health and starting feeling that I am a normal person and can lead a trouble free healthy life. As far as longevity of life is concerned, no body is sure of it and day of life are numbered.
I am in total agreement with the statement of shri lalu prasad yadav that if a person benefits from the medicines prescribed or yoga exercises done by him , who bothers if it contains animal fat or human bones or whatever as long as it cures him of all his diseases. When crores of people have benefited from Swami Ramdev yoga programs who is Brinda Karat to raise the issue of trust. The people of india do not need to be told by a politician (Who may be having some vested interest) as to who has to be trusted.
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK SWAMI RAMDEVJI !! the entire nation is with you.
These politicians only know how to disrupt someone who is doing goodwork.
Swami Ramdev and Marxist Brinda-lock horns. It seems Brinda is trying to create hatred against Sw.Ramdev, by spreading the news that his medicines contain bones/ fats etc.To me it seems that as Brinda failed to spread marxism in his factory -hence she is trying this. Sw. Ramdev has single handedly reduced the sales of cold drinks by millions. And U know that some MP's have raised any question after taking Rs. 10000/-. My friend Jaspal Bhatti has really advised rightly to MPs that at least they must keep some standard & Any MP found accepting a bribe of less than Rs.100000/- should be immidiately shunted out by voters.
To me, important question is not -whether the medicine contained animal fat?- but important is- -whether the medicine cures?.As reported- lacs of poor people have been cured by Baba and he must be thanked for this. If I suffer from cancer not curable by allopathy and if a baba's medicine with animal fat/ deer horn or even cow urine / dung can cure me, I will definetely take that medicine. If u can not cure me otherwise U have no right to deny me that medicine.
Ramdevji can be equalled to all the great HEALERS of the world who incarnted time and again to redeem or salvation of rich and poor, irrespective of bias to any caste and creed. His teachings are not against any man-kind but against organizations who try to hide the truth behind their products as they restrict their growth if not reduce them to ashes. If one desires cure,prevent or maintain one`s health in this modern society, practice the simple regiment of YOGA that he advocates. You should be aware that till recently, asanas are MAINLY focussed to maintain BODY FLEXIBLE; and in a few cases they used to address some ailments like diabetes. All the prominent and leading Yoga teachers in India as well as outside emphasised only this and a little on stress. But the type of asanas taught are of complex nature and infact can be practiced ONLY by healthy persons and not by those who really have health related issues. As Ramdevji only ADMITS, there are several ways of doing each part/item in Yoga; be it breathing excercises or asanas/postures. He strongly advocates the simplest of the simple in each type.
