Here the question is whether Swami Ramdev has used human or animal bones. I think such practices are resorted to by the mainstream medicos also. Health tonics contain animal liver extracts and phosphorous from bones, animal and human. Anaemia tonics contain cattle blood as haemoglobin. Human blood, serums, tissues and organs are regularly transplanted. Animal organs and blood

too are being actively considered for transplants. Capsules are gelatine from animal bones. Animal and human serum are the main contents of vaccinations. And what, pray, is stem cell therapy? Bones cannot geneticaly contaminate a person but human and animal serums definitely do. So please do not get elated over the recent "exposure" of Swami Ramdev's "medicines". Allopathic medicines too are "medicines", they kill and maim without curing. At least the Swami is curing people. And regarding human skulls, the Swami has to be a billionaire to procure so many skulls for his pharmaceutical needs. I wish you will be more objective in future reports. Yours faithfully, Jagannath Chatterjee "Our ideal is not the spirituality that withdraws from life but the conquest of life by the power of the

spirit." - Aurobindo.
