Public throng to have Ramdev's darshan

Though the programme was scheduled from 5 am onwards, the sprawling TMA Pai convention centre was jam packed with men and women. Even children took part in the programme.

Starting with some yoga exercise, Baba Ramdev later addressed his followers and said that Yoga coupled with meditation and good eating habits can keep a person healthy and sound. “The chances of cardiac problem is near zero in people who practice yoga on regular basis,” Baba Ramdev said and added that people should develop strong sense of patriotism for the country.

“Only when people are patriotic, a strong India can be built. Youth have to take the lead in building new India,” he said and added that Guru Darshan should not be an occasion of meeting and seeking blessing from the Guru but followers must take the oath of following the preaching of the Guru as well. “There are many fake Babas too around us. People should be ware of such Babajis. Save India and Build India is the motto of Swabhiman, Pathanjali Yoga Samiti,” he said.

Speaking about his party contesting in elections, Baba Ramdeva said, “None of us have the aspiration to become MPs and MLAs but some of my disciples who are true to the aim of building strong and sound India are identifying themselves in politics, which is not wrong in any way.”
