Udupi: I Have More Followers Than Anna Hazare - Baba Ramdev

Udupi, Apr 17: Jan Lokpal Bill will not help root out all sort of corruption though I support Anna Hazare's struggle as it is against corruption. My seven-point memorandum to be submitted to the centre will be the answer to root our corruption from the country, said yoga exponent Baba Ramdev.

He was speaking at the Yoga session held at the MGM College ground here on Sunday April 17 as part of Bharat Swabhiman Yatra held across the country. While, Hazare has 10,000 followers behind him, I have 10 crore people supporting me, he said.
Illegal mining should be stopped in the state, he said and added that his memorandum to be submitted to the centre will include the same.

All the states are into corrupt practices. I will not stress on Karnataka alone, said Baba Ramdev while being pointed out by the presspersons that the state has been dubbed as number one as far as corruption is concerned.

He expresed cpnfidence that his struggle will bear fruits and there will be no need to float a political party to realize his dreams, when queried on the same. We will take up the struggle against corruption in every state after July 2, he added.

Pejavar senior seer Vishveshateeratha Swamiji among others was present.

    I have great respect for Baba Ramdev as far as his Yoga teachings and his ayurvedic medical services with quality medicines at cheaper price are concerned. Apart from this, some how, after Anna Hazare coming to centre stage on anti corruption drive and Baba Ramdev's association with him with utterings on the issue of formation of committee formed for drafting the Lokpal bill, I feel that Baba Ramdev has engulfed with greed for popularity which is quite visible from his facial look sometimes with LEFT EYE BILNKED.Can any body enlighten me on this factor.

    IT IS CORRECT WHAT BABA RAMDEV HAS SAID - UP TO A POINT.

    HE HAS MORE BLACK MONEYED AND FINANCIALLY RICH FOLLOWERS. THOSE OF WHOM, WHO HAVE A STRESS FILLED LIFE, HIDING THEIR BLACK MONEY HAVE CONSTANT HEADACHES, BACKPAIN ETC IF AND WHEN, THEY WILL BE CAUGHT. THAT'S WHY THEY NEED TO DO MORE AND MORE YOGA TO MAKE THEIR BODY RUBBERY AND REDUCE CONSTIPATION, PILES, FISTULA ETC.

    POOR ANNA HAZARE HAS FOLLOWERS WHO WANT TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN INDIAN SOCIETY BY ERADICATING THE PEST CALLED CORRUPTION.

    SO IN THAT WAY, BABA RAMDEV IS RIGHT.

This guy has no bank balance wears a simple saffron cloth whereever he travels in the world. He could live a lavish life like all corporate big names.....shame on us for insulting this great soul....if u need to criticise then go behind those scamsters who duped the nation of millions and have stored thier money in swiss bank....u will find plenty ...2G..3 G SCAM, OLYMPIC SCAMS, adarsh housing society scam...bofors scam....why r u behind this innocent soul who is here for the benefits of the nation who is fighting corruption...shame on u.....

WHILE I DO NOT OPPOSE PEOPLE PRACTISING YOGA OUT OF THEIR OWN CHOICE, IT SHOULD NOT PLAY ON PEOPLE'S MINDS THAT IF THEY DO NOT FOLLOW YOGA THEY ARE NOT LEADING NORMAL LIFE. IT IS MORE IMPORTANT TO BE HAPPY AND JOVIAL IN LIFE WHILE DEVELOPING TOLERANCE AND FORGIVING NATURE. WHEN WE ARE WILLINGLY ACCOMMODATIVE TO OTHERS CONTENT AND JOY ARE ADDED AUTOMATICALLY. ALONG WITH THIS ACTIVE LIFESTYLE IS ALL THAT IS NECESSARY. ONE NEED NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT YOGA TO BE HAPPY IN LIFE.

    I was totally taken aback by the statement of Yoga Guru Ramdev that he has more followers than Anna hazare.I am nor suspecting the credence of his declaration but questioning the need for such an assertion.Every individual is great in his own way.Even a genius hasn a cornwer of foolishness hidden in him.I have all respect to yoga and its teacher. But the point is why should individuality come in when all are united to fight against the common cause of curruption.If Anna hazare has just thousand followers. how come the the entire country stood by his cause of Lokpal when he went fasting drive?Any egoistic assertion or declaraion would come in the way of unity.Dont think so my fellow readers?

    Ongoing debate is good. But we are missing one basic point here. There is radical difference between the followers of Baba Ramdev and Anna Hazare. Baba's followers are mostly sick, patients. They come to Baba for relief and health reason. But those who support Anna are committed to a cause. stand against corruption. So I feel here size does not matter.Therefore certainly Anna can do with very limited number of followers , what Baba can do with large number of followers.

    You are 100% right.
    ‘Swami’ Ramdev now owns a Scottish isle worth £2 million.
    In India he owns a series of Ashrams, ayurvedic drug factories and yoga training centers.
    His drugs have come into a lot of controversy about their contents but he has claims for curing CANCER and AIDS.
    In the wake of 26/11 Mumbai terror attack, Baba had exhorted Indian Government to attack Pakistan, and that he will fund the war against Pakistan.
    So 4000 cr. is pea nuts.

    Sorry, no offence, but I thinK Baba Ramdev is secretly afraid of his assets being disclosed incase Jan Lokpal bill is drafted. After all, he too is currently worth about 4000 crores or more, and in a few years, he too will be as rich as Putta parthi SaiBaba whose current asset value is about 40,000 crores as per current India Today magazine report.

    Afterall, SaiBaba became famous by performing magic on stage, Baba Ramdev became famous through yoga. Both are 2 faces of the same coin.

    I respect Anna Hazare (a true Gandhian) more than Baba Ramdev.

Anna is not complaining about it and he is neither claiming to be leading Indian population. He is just leading a cause and he is not counting how many are following. It just seems Baba is more insecure then ever.

    Did anyone ask him about the number of followers he has? Did Anna Hazare ask him?. If he was that popular why was he using Anna Hazare's platform to advertise himself?. Did Anna Hazare invite him? And finally as many others have said Is he afraid of the Lok pal Bill?. His forte is yoga and through yoga he has made a name for himself. I think he should stick only with yoga and not dapple in political and social movements.

Hearing his statement here one can make out the hidden intentions of all these gaining popularity. If Baba uses this popularity to fight against corruption, let him do it. Through this he would gain more popularity. But what is the intention behind this statement? "Hazare has 10,000 followers behind him, I have 10 crore people supporting me."

    I am a great fan of Baba Ramdev. His struggle against corruption is well understood and needs backing by all members of our mutiple society. Here communualism has no scope and no one should take about politicising and communualising the issue like Ashok from Dubai who says Ramdev is spreading the hindu culture of yoga.

    But he failed to mention that Baba Ramadev is fighting the culture of corruption in Hindu land and in Hindu country. We dont need any hypocrisy on the issue. When some one from any community stands against any mischief or malpractice we must whole heartedly support him rather beat the drum and praise him if he is from his community and hate and criticise him if he is not a member of his community. Baba Ramdev, please carry on your good work and we need to wipe off corruption. Happy to see other seers are taking lessons from him on the subject of corruption.

Is he more scared and jealous about Anna Hazare's popularity for fighting the battle against corruption. Anna Hazare is a soldier and very practical person. His life sacrifice and contribution by donating all he has to the society itself is the proof.
    By baba Ramdev's statement it clearly shows his self esteem. Requirement of this hour is collectively as one voice to fight against corruption.39372

    I blame the individual's greed for the corruption not the political leaders. We most of us knowing or unknowing involve in corrupt practices. I can quote hundreds of instances where ordinary people like me and all the readers take shelter under the corrupt practices. Take a simple case of child’s admission – it is known fact that people use their money or influence to get seats to their wards. I have seen people paying money to get water connections, driving licenses, speed up the registration of vehicles, land records, legitimize illegal structures and so on. And we do not need Baba Ramdev to enlighten on these issues. Everyone is engaging in corruption why I should not be the line of defense here. We need to weed out greed from within and when this is achieved in the entire society there is no scope for any corruption.

    Its this "I'M BETTER THAN YOU" attitude that has cursed mankind over the ages and sad that we have not learnt our lessons as yet.

    I wonder when people say dont poke nose in politics. Till when everybody has to sit and watch what politicians are doing. Everyone has to take part in Nation politics.Its not only once in 5 years we vote and keep quite for next 5 years.

    @ Mr.Louis, If you are not intrested in Babas work you have the rights to critisise, same way he is doing he is not liking politicians works and criticising them . SO dont worry, Baba is good human being though he cant solve every problem he tries to do his best. appreciate that.

    Baba Ramdev is right, Lokpal bill cannot catch those who has kept huge somes in foreign banks. What Ramdev means is Anna's Lokpal bill cannot convict baba Ramdev. I dont understand why Baba is poking his nose in Politics? Is he afraid of LOKPAL Bill????

    What a great response to Baba Ramdev in my city. He is doing good job in spreading sacred Hindu Culture of yoga to the world.
