Ramdev is a hugely successful Indian version of a televangelist, and all that that entail. Such gurus amass enormous amounts of cash and power in India, and peddle all sorts of off-the-wall ideas in the name of yoga.

The cure-all claims are also common, and he has made money hand over fist from all the gullible people who watch his show. He has a huge pharmaceutical company that has been implicated in the past for labor abuses and politicians keep giving him and other guru entrepreneurs public land for their lucrative ashrams.

Modern India seems like it is falling back into superstition, just like the US. Very scary when politicians themselves swear by astrological charts for their basic decisions and begin acting like cult members in their worship of these gurus.

According to our yogguru Swami Ramdev yoga can treat not only physical disease but also mental disease like lust,greed,deppression,mean mindedness,negative thoughts,memory loss,jeoluusy,etc.I hope this is hundred percent true in case of pranayam.If more and more person will do pranayam i think our motherland INDIA will become gradually the most develloped and heavenly country.JAI HIND JAI BHARAT

Mr Sourav who the hell cares what you think? You write without using your grey matter. Just imagine what would happen if a gay man/woman married a member of the opposite sex.The result would be both parties would be unhappy. We have to think from a logical point of view in todays world. No point in looking at what our scriptures said a thousand years ago… Again, the Vedic scriptures have never condemned homosexuality.

To those who think that gay union and marriage should not be legal because gay men are promiscuous, imagine a scenario where heterosexual union and marriage were a crime … Do you not think most men and women would be more promiscuous then, when there would be no reminder or ritualized relationship that keeps a couple from falling apart and giving in to temptations ? While marriage is certainly not a certificate of love, it does solidify the commitment of people who ARE in love. And while some married people still sleep around, it makes sure at least ALL don’t. That would apply to anyone, irrespective of sexual orientation (were gay marriage legal). You see, gay people aren’t just having “fun”, they too have dreams and hopes like straight people, and in India, unfortunately, fears and pressures UNlike straight people.

You talk about gay people who sleep around, in other words, are unfaithful. What about those gay people in India, who are forced to marry people of the opposite sex (Oooh, what will the relatives and neighbours say ??), or in other words, forced to be unfaithful – to their lovers, to themselves, to their sanity ! When a bookish law practically destroys someone’s life, you can’t blame them for rubbing it off on the people they’re now married to.

Cure for homosexuality ? Who is asking for it ? You can’t just start and go on “healing” (in his own terms) people just because “you” think they are diseased.
And secondly, you should actually google and see that it’s not only humans that have homosexuality growing in. It is there in a lot of species. And that is NATURE that is NATURAL.
Thank you.

Would like to add what the Yogacharya said why he says so….”sex is for procreation NOT entertainment” ( yikes it disappoints me as well trust me! but again I guess its true)…so he can’t get the whole idea of two same sex people doing the act…hhmmmm! – can’t disagree.

Hi,
This is ridiculous article.

You would not gain by falsely twisting the facts against yog guru Ramdev.
You should rather support his efforts of a healthy lifestyle to all the people.

Please remove this article else I might think of sue-ing you.
