What Baba Ramdev doesn't teach you

By SiliconIndia, Friday, 15 July 2011, 17:22 IST

Bangalore: The controversial yoga guru Baba Ramdev, who rose to extreme fame after his fast against corruption and black money that began at Ramlila Maidan in Delhi and the related incidents, has been widely criticized for his teachings and practices by acclaimed gurus. Baba Ramdev, who has a cult status with millions of followers, runs a health empire worth hundreds of crores and owns an island off the coast of Scotland.




Many prominent personalities have criticized Baba Ramdev for his way of functioning, calling him a businessman with vested political interests. His yoga teachings had been questioned by renowned gurus such as BKS Iyengar as Swami Balendu.

Reader's comments (124)
1: Baba Ramdev is popularising Yoga on a wide scale. This is worrying anti-Hindu forces and the midnight crackdown on his camp was actually to go after Baba Ramdev personally and injure him grievously so that he cannot demonstrate yoga again. This job was no doubt entrusted to a handpicked select group of policemen. Being a yogi par excellence, he sensed the imminent danger and escaped in woman's dress out of the range of this group of policemen. The Supreme Court must order investigation into this angle.

It's back to square one, as SC stays Ayodhya verdict
Well-intentioned, but impractical. That was the general verdict in the legal fraternity on the Allahabad high court’s ruling on the disputed 2.77-acre piece of land in Ayodhya on 30 September 2010. The initial euphoria in some circles – barring the Muslim groups – over the grand solution buried the inconsistencies in the verdict.
The court offered a patch-up formula, not a legal solution to the vexatious issue. The three-way division of the land among Nirmohi Akhara, Sunni Central Wakf Board and Ram Lalla (the idol put up in the makeshift temple after the demolition) was difficult to implement. It required a great deal of adjustment from all the parties involved. With so much of emotional investment in the issue from both sides — Hindus and the Muslims — that critical mass of goodwill was never going to be easy to attain.

Moreover, none of the parties had sought a division of the land. If the court was looking at a out-of-the-box solution, it was not called for.
The three-member bench’s verdict also faltered on basic legal parameters while judging the case. It appeared to be relying more on hearsay and unsubstantiated accounts than reliable historical evidence. It was not surprising that all the parties involved moved the apex court.
The Wakf Board and Jamait Ulama-i-Hind sought the quashing of the high court’s ruling since it was based on faith and not on evidence. The Hindu Mahasabha appealed to the court to endorse the minority verdict of Justice Dharam Veer Sharma which favoured handing over the entire plot to Hindus.
The Supreme Court’s ruling on Monday was thus expected. “A new dimension was given by the high court as the decree of partition was not sought by the parties. It was not prayed by anyone. It has to be stayed. Its a strange order,” the bench of Justice Aftab Alam and Justice RS Lodha observed.
It also barred all religious activity on the 67-acre land acquired by the central government adjacent to the disputed structure.
The Supreme Court’s verdict brings the 61-year-old case back to where it began.
The last word on the dispute is still a long way off. The unintended spin-off of the court’s ruling could be a pleasant one. Most of the parties would prefer the emotive issue to be settled in the court. In any case, a definitive verdict is not going to be acceptable to either of the communities. The lingering court case keeps any flare-up in abeyance.

This report of the Supreme Court's stay of the High Court judgement is misleading. The SC did not say anything about the High Court relying on hearsay and unsubstantiated accounts. The reporter has attempted to put his words into the mouth of the Supreme Court. Furthermore, the High Court did not depend on faith in its judgement but scientific evidences of satellite imaging and archeological evidences. If Ayodhya being the birthplace of Rama is an article of faith among the Hindus, that does not by itself mean that it is not an historical fact.

Amby's new design

13/04/2011
Ambassador's new gamble
Hindustan Motors’ iconic car is set to get a radical makeover, but is it too late in the day?

The oldest face of Indian automobiles is set to get a radical makeover with a new design and styling. But not many are convinced whether nostalgia and the latest move by Hindustan Motors (HM) would be enough to ensure a smooth ride for the Ambassador (Amby) in future.
Many say that the Amby is to Indians what the iconic Volkswagen Beetle is to Germans. But the similarity ends there. While Europe's largest car manufacturer has painstakingly resurrected the original 'People's Car', making it one of the most popular small cars ever made, the Amby has had a neglected past.
The biggest problem is while the Indian auto market has changed completely, HM has remained in the past for far too long, giving almost a free run to newer models from nimble-footed competitors.
India's top automobile designer Dilip Chhabria says, "It's an uphill ride. Apart from some very timid efforts, they haven't done anything to it for decades. Being an icon is what has powered Amby sales since 1950's. I believe the company should treat it the way Porsche has treated the 911, and BMW has treated the Mini."

There is still a huge population in India for whom the Ambassador would bring undiluted nostalgia. Therefore the design should not change. Other aspects should incorporate the latest technology. No doubt a new generation would find something ethereal about its design and it would be a runaway hit.

Kumaraswamy on corruption and Gandhi

By R Shankar, India Syndicate, 11/04/2011 Gandhiji -- a corrupt Mahatma in today’s politics? Karnataka’s former chief minister says in today’s politics, Gandhiji would have been corrupt You may believe it or not, Mahatma Gandhi would have been a corrupt man today if he were to swim or waddle in India's murky politics. If he were to fight corruption, Gandhiji would have quit politics and probably taken to sanyas. Well, this is the view of former chief minister of Karnataka, H D Kumaraswamy, the president of Janata Dal (Secular) and the son of humble farmer turned once-upon-a-time prime minister H D Deve Gowda - a man who began his political journey riding a motorcycle as a contractor in dust-filled Hassan and now owns large tracts of land in and around posh areas of Bangalore. Addressing newspersons in Hubli (north Karnataka), Kumaraswamy said there cannot be politics without corruption. "In the present political scenario, no one can organise a political party, rally or win elections without being in corruption. There could be nothing more far from the truth to say that you can organise and run a political party from the money you get from home. If anybody speaks about non-corrupt system, it will not be the truth". View All K.Venugopal #1 11 April 2011 17:02:46 For once, I am in agreement with Kumaraswamy. The entire political system is rotten. Passing of yet another bill on corruption would not do much - the corrupt would always find a way out because there would always be other corrupt people who would bail them out. The only way corruption would end is when we refuse to have any service the corrupt would want to provide. Only when we do not want the corrupt person's service would we be free enough to pursue corruption. Therefore there must be a campaign urging people not to have too many wants. The market for corruption would then dry up. The inherently corrupt can then be easily rounded up. http://news.in.msn.com/national/article.aspx?cp-documentid=5113263&pgnew=true&_p=2d98b1f9-a309-4aa0-a07f-d78e0237c9c8&_nwpt=1#uc2Lst2d98b1f9-a309-4aa0-a07f-d78e0237c9c8

Burning the Quran is un-American, says White House

Quran burnt in Florida church

Gainesville: A controversial US evangelical preacher oversaw the burning of a copy of the Quran in a small Florida church after finding the Muslim holy book "guilty" of crimes.

The burning was carried out by pastor Wayne Sapp under the supervision of Terry Jones, who last September drew sweeping condemnation over his plan to ignite a pile of Qurans on the anniversary of September 11, 2001 attacks.

Sunday's event was presented as a trial of the book in which the Quran was found "guilty" and "executed”.

The jury deliberated for about eight minutes. The book, which had been soaking for an hour in kerosene, was put in a metal tray in the centre of the church, and Sapp started the fire with a barbecue lighter.

The book burned for around 10 minutes while some onlookers posed for photos.

Jones had drawn trenchant condemnation from many people, including US President Barack Obama, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Secretary of Defence Robert Gates, over his plan to burn the Muslim holy book in September.

He did not carry out his plan then and vowed he never would, saying he had made his point.

But this time, he said he had been "trying to give the Muslim world an opportunity to defend their book”, but did not receive any answer.

He said he felt that he couldn't have a real trial without a real punishment.

The event was open to the public, but fewer than 30 people attended.

Life in the normally quiet city of Gainesville is centred around the University of Florida. And while there were public protests against Jones' 9/11 activities, this event was largely ignored.

Jadwiga Schatz, who came to show support for Jones, expressed concern that Islam was growing in Europe.

"These people, for me, are like monsters," she said. "I hate these people."

Jones said he considered this event a success.

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience," he said.

It is quite likely that the crimes the Church has accused the Quran to be guilty of may be equally applicable to the Bible. After all, all scriptural crimes emanate from the narrow minded claim of scriptures that it alone contains the truth. All Semitic scriptures are guilty of this basic crime. The world has to turn to Hindu scriptures that proclaim that truth can be expressed in many ways.
