Why Baba Should Stick to Yoga

Corruption is the latest buzz word in INDIA. Everyone; from a school kid to a CEO, a Peon to the Principal, a Veteran Freedom Fighter to a Yogi; is seen chanting the “C” word these days (whether Against or For it is immaterial). Is being corrupt glamorous enough to attract spotlight or is it the “MAYA” of being a politician. Nevertheless, one thing is for sure; everyone wants to be a politician, for good reason or whatever, but everyone wants to hold the reins of power once in their lifetime. There is nothing bad in it, everyone has right to, but as the good old saying goes.. “With great power, comes great Responsibility “. In our country; of-course it means “With great power comes Greater Corruption “.

Hence the moment I saw Baba Ramdev agitating to bring back what belongs to us, I was full of praise for New born Patriotism in India. But soon that gave way to reckless feeds from media and Government. The stage set for reckoning “good Health” was changed to a “Political Play Ground “, the Chants of “OM”, changed to anguished voices over money that “should” be brought back. This led me to think a scenario of a future INDIA in which we have governments run by God People and Yogis. Terrified, I Put Three reasons why Baba should stick Only to Yoga

  1. Ending corruption would lead to a dearth of politicians in our Country , leading to a total Governmental ANARCHY ( if I may call it ) .
  2. Nation would wake up to sounds of “Bhasans” rather than “Bhajans “.
  3. Absence of Yogis would lead to an Unhealthy India, Which; I guess; is not Baba’s Intention.
