Popularity gained over night is something which I have seen in movies and read in books. Probably people who took sports and acting as a career can be given exception to the above said statement. But now we could able to see many such incidents happening all of a sudden all in the name of the so called 'Patriotism'. Are they really patriotic or just taking advantage of the trigger of a loaded gun. The one who is now in the headlines is the yoga guru Baba Ramdev. The one who is familiar only to particular group of people or in a particular region is now talk of the entire nation. Not only in the media, he is also topping the search trends in leading search engines.
Before supporting someone blindly, it is always better to know something about the motto behind him. The entire nation supported Anna Hazare on his fasting to bring the Lokpal bill. There was no difference of opinion among the people or media during his fast and the entire nation supported him wholeheartedly to fight against corruption. But what is the problem exactly with this yoga guru? Why there is a difference of opinion among people and media in his concern? Whether this person is really worried about the present scenario in the country or trying to get some fame for his personal benefits? Possibly the question for many of us and I hope that's why many of you are reading this article. What exactly is his demands? He just have a list of demands and very important among them is bringing back the black money slashed in foreign banks, demonetization of Rs.500 and Rs.1000, death penalty for corruption etc., How come death penalty for corrupted is practically possible. May be you will think that it will create some fear among the corrupted to do so. But what will happen if it is misused? We have several cases where wrong cases are filed on sincere officers by the politicians to remove him from the power as he would have been a barrier for them to fulfill their needs. Leaving the other demands, bringing the black money slashed in foreign banks is a demand in need. I hope the entire nation will support this demand, but is this person making use of the demand for his political outfit. Is he backed by certain parties to make use of him in the next election?
Looking Back into the History
When Anna Hazare fought against the government to bring the lokpal, I surfed back into his history and it was incredible and this made many of us to come forward and believe him from the heart and made us to accept him as a living Gandhi. But the condition is not same in the case of Baba Ramdev. When I surfed to look back into his history, it was shocking. Let me list out below some of the shocking information's which I came to know about him,
1. I have read that one who gives up everything is called a Sanyasi, but this Sanyasi has lot of institutions under him. Patanjali Ayurved College, Patanjali Chikitsalaya, Yog Gram, Go-Shala, Patanjali Herbal Botanical Garden, Organic Agriculture Farm, Patanjali Food and Herbal product limited are few to be noted. He also runs a television channel named Aaastha Tv. So can we call him a corporate sanyasi?
2. He is a billionaire and everything is earned from the people. It is said that he charges Rs.50,000 for teaching yoga.
3. He got into a controversy of using animal parts in his ayurvedic medicine manufactured from his company.
4. He violated labour law in his own company by paying minimum wages.
5. He protested to stop sex education and to make yoga the alternative. (Hope he doesn't know the reason behind high AIDS patients in India).
6. He claimed that he can cure AIDS and Cancer through his Yoga and ayurvedic medicine manufactured from his company.
7. He had a contradicting view against legalizing homosexuality in India. ( I suggest him to know the science behind homosexuality).
Is this too a move for fame?
From the incidents in the past, it is very clear that he always tried to do something to attain fame. Even his support to Anna Hazare too may have such a reason behind. Anna Hazare didn't have any political back up to start his fast, but the people joined him in large. But he started with the political back up which is well know to all of us. Finally his recent statement to train youngsters to form a military simply shows that it is going to spoil the harmony. I think Anna Hazare and his team might be well aware about him and just to stop difference of opinion for a common problem they might have supported. Hope their support is for the problem and not him particularly.
Do I support?
Yes, I do support the prime motto of bringing back the black money.Hope the entire nation supports the cause and I ask you to do so. But I am very clear that I am not supporting the yoga guru and his political outfit.
Verdict
Whoever the person may be, I support for the noble cause and not the person in particular. Well, what is my final point. Is he good or bad? It is you who have to decide.
Note: Controversies about him in the past is read by me in various articles.

A person is never good or bad, ones action define them , some see the Baba’s jump as an act of defiance against the authorities while other see it as cowardice, it’s just how people perceive the action at large that counts.He has followers not because of his yogic skills but his skill as an orator.People should be aware of this because a silver tongue can do more harm than brute’s fist
@ hire web : The cause for which he came to support is good, but is he really good? Then why didn't he give details of all his property recently. He just hided many. What do you call the hidden money for which tax is not paid? Black money right? Then how can he be the right person to fight against corruption and bringing back the slashed money.
All just for cheap publicity!!!
