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.

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.
