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.

" CORRUPT " to " Uncorrupt "

India has been governed the corrupt way since long, so long that it has become an intrinsic to most of the system operations. Today's generation, being more educated and exposed to various cultures ,is raising soo much of hue and cry now about barring corrupt practics, tackle corruption headon , right to information and so on so forth.... trust me; many tried and lost , not because they didn't had the motivation or will to do so; but just that they used the wrong method. Corruption cannot be eradicated with "satyagrah" , it has to be a more contextual and implementable method to eradicate it.

lemme give you three reasons to use " corruption " to eradicate corruption ...

1. India has been governed by a legal system which was not developed for it, there has been a force fit of environment with the framework. Hence the current legal and administrative systems have flaws which allow loophole for corruption.

2. The system has grown used to " corruption " and has gained stagnation. It moves only when u "grease" the corrupt ingredients in the system.

3. A stand still system is "inefficient" and unproductive. A soft tool of corruption , if applied will " move " the system and improve it's efficiency.

There has to be an understanding that using corruption to make system eficient has to be with the the motive of implementing "regulation" from corruption not the otherwise.

This is an opening dialogue, a thought to feed on and a concept to build upon .
