Baba Ramdev - Maharishi Mahesh Yogi - Swami Sivananda - etc.

[Guest guest]

It is indeed good news that Swami Ramdev is spreading his work in

western countries - following the earlier work of great souls like the

Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and Swami Sivananda Saraswati. All of these

great men have taught the path of Yoga for ordinary householders and

all advocated the principles and practices of Ayurveda for helping us

to overcome the health obstacles that are met on the road to Yoga. All

are perfect exemplars of the path they advocated. Such individuals are

examples to the world of how we can overcome degradation, devolution,

and Adharma as it sweeps the world. Some spread Adharma relentlessly

but such individuals are left impotent and empty in the face of great

stalwarts who flawlessly live the pure life they preach.

 

We are lucky that Swami Ramdev is a young man as he will no doubt have

many years to spread the true Dharma - we see what he has achieved in

India in a short time - let us see how far this tidal wave will go as

it spreads around the world.

 

I met Maharishi several times over the years and continue to be

inspired by his purity of spirit and innocence combined with a deep

and profound jnana - the world needs lakhs of such leaders to help

lead us toward the glorious future that they have invisioned. They

offer the perfect antidote to the backward looking tendencies of many

in the present time.

 

All love and respect to those who have achieved. Dr Vinod Kumar
