Swami Ramdev 2-March

 Swami Ramdev or Baba Ramdev, has gained immense respect through ventures in yogaayurvedic medicines and agriculture, as well as his advocacy on Indian political issues.  Ramdev was born as Ram Krishna in the Alipur village of Mahendragarh district in Haryana state of India. He shot into prominence when he started the Divya Yog Mandir Trust with the company of Acharya Balkrishna at Kankhal Haridwar. In 2003, Aastha TV began featuring him in its morning yoga slot. Within a few years, he had gathered a huge following.The New York Times called him "an Indian, who built Yoga Empire, a product and symbol of the New India" A large number of people and many celebrities in India and abroad have attended his yoga camps.He has taught yoga to many actors including Amitabh Bachchan and Shilpa Shetty.  Apart from making Yoga a household word in India, he has also taught Yoga in Britain, USA and Japan among other countries. Soon after getting popular outside India, he was invited by Kofi Annan in 2006 to deliver a lecture on poverty alleviation in aUnited Nations conference.  The flagship project of Baba Ramdev is Patanjali Yogpeeth. Since its inauguration in 2006, it has been one of the largest centers for research on Yog and Ayurved in India. The vision of the research institution as mentioned on the Patanjali Yogpeeth website is "To evaluate the physiological and clinical effects of Yog and Pranayam as taught by Swami Ramdevji and the Ayurvedic medicines formulated by Acharya Balakrishanji". Apart from running free yoga classes and providing free ayurvedic consultancy in the premises of the yogpeeth, the Patanjali Yogpeeth website claims to run 20,000 free yoga classes and 2000 chikitsalayas all over the country.The facilities at the Yogpeeth comprise a 300-bed multi specialty hospital, a yoga research center,a university, an ayurvedic pharmacy and a food park.  Baba Ramdev raised the issue of black money publicly in Ramlila Maidan on 27 Feb 2011. Estimations indicate a total of Rs. 400 lakh crore, or nearly 9 trillion USD, of Indian black money outside the country. It is claimed but not proven that this is so much money that every Indian constituency could get up to 50 thousand crore for development. The money has been pulled outside the country via physical and technical means, with hawala, under/over invoicing being some common methods. Money laundering started on a large scale since 1990.
He is our one hope to get back the black money deposited in outside countries.. his honesty n courage has been his main weapon against the government.. We got to support him to make our Indian shine as ever
