Guest guest Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 It serves several purposes, it advertises Swami Ramdev's talents, he offers service to thousands and thousands of people and helps them with many problems, and it offers several views both for and against those talents and services. As soon as someone receives criticism another is bound to show the good side. This means that more people can either take advantage of his healing services or condemn him. It depends on your attitude to money. If you think healing should be free then you will leave Swami well alone, and if you think healing should be paid for you will join the queue to be healed. At the same time, if you believe that Swami Ramdev is a great Master and Healer you will join those who pay and support him financially but if you have no experience with the way Masters work and have no trust in this system you will turn you back and walk away. India has a long, long history of Healers and Holy men, if there is no longer support and trust for the healing Swami then this is a very sad state of affairs. Yes there is free advice on this wonderful list, but you still have to purchase any remedies recommended and if you attended the clinics of these Doctors and Vaidyas you would still have to pay a fee. Many people need more than written advice for their ailments. Best, Jane .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . While Baba Ramdev earns millions of rupees I dont understad why people solicite his activities on free sites like here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Thanks to Jane MacRoss for giving a very balanced view about Swami Ramdev controversy currently being discussed on line. I would like to add that I did not believe in the Baba initially. I used to think that the Baba might run away and disappear after collecting tonnes of money. Sometimes Iused to think that he was put up by Multinational companies purposely to speak against them, that being another method of getting publicity. But when miracles started getting reported by beneficiary patients themslves from all over the country and more so when I got some special health benefits by doing the pranayam in the manner propounded by the Baba, my doubting foolishness about the Baba vanished in thin air. Then I started wondering about his teachings with a depth and comviction that no ordinary mortal could speak, I did think that such great people are no doubt God-send for us. Now after a few years of doing a little of all that he preaches, I am more than convinced that in future he will go down in Indian history as an incarnation of God just like Dashavatars (the Ten Incarnations) like Lord Rama, Lord Krishna, Mahavira, the Buddha and the rest. When I wrote a book on some new yogic exercises devised by me for back pain and to rejuvenat or rehabilitate the damaged spine, I decided from the bottom of my heart to dedicate the book to YOGAVATAR Swami Ramdev. I was the first to call him an " avatar " (incarnation of God) that too for preaching all-pervading Yoga not only for health but also for mental and spiritual well-being leading towards " Samadhi " , the ultimate goal of yoga. We mortals are only interested in good health and cure for various diseases at an affordable cost. He has made it affordable for every one through the breathing technique at no cost. My personal feelings are that he is the greatest of the Incarnations. You will see the followers of Rama and Krishna mostly in India, those of Mahavira and Buddha too are limited to certain areas. But Yoga has no connection with any religion whatsoever. No one can live without breathing. So, breath we must; isn't it? He has given a simple method to improve the breathing to cure various diseases and to improve over all health with no medicines whatsoever. If a person is that serious that he does need a little medicine, then only he advises some simple and cheap ayurvedic medicines without any profit motive except to meet the cost and other charges. If some margin is left, that too is used entirely for the expansion of those facilities for the poor. To help the poor and the needy is the greatest service to the Lord; isn't it? That is what the Baba is doing as he has taken a sacred vow to make the 6.5 billion people on the planet a bit healthier so that no one dies uncared for.. We were not there when Lord Rama or Krishna; Mahavira or the Buddha were there. Let us consider ourselves as lucky as we are seeing a man who is progressively becoming a " avatar " (incarnation of God) by and by, by creating a " satyug " like atmosphere. These are my personal views with which no one need to concur. They are given for the benefit of those who are attuned to such otherwordly thoughts and thinking. With malice towards none and sadar pranams to every one whose body is a veritable temple of God; Amen!
