A Close Look at Baba Ramdev’s Finances

Baba Ramdev’s bid to provide transparency about his charitable organizations’ financial statements fell short of its goal.

On Thursday evening, Baba Ramdev released financial statements for four of his charitable organizations. These include his oldest trust Divya Yog Mandir, as well as the trusts Patanjali Yogpeeth, Bharat Svabhiman, and the Acharyakul Shiksha Sansthan.

However, the information shared for most of these organizations

NEW DELHI: Baba Ramdev's world is not just a popular yoga empire but a clutch of hugely profitable businesses, ranging from successful ayurveda products to a popular TV channel.

Vedic Broadcasting Limited, which runs Aastha channel, made a net profit of Rs 2.30 crore on a total turnover of Rs 19.26 crore in 2009-10. The company mopped up Rs 18.50 crore revenue in advertisements, telecasting fees and

Baba gives UPA a sleepless summer

The night-long operation that evicted Baba Ramdev from the city this morning was meant to signal the UPA’s tough resolve. But coming after days of unprecedented surrender by the UPA — which even announced its commitment to a new law hours before it sent the police in — it opened the Government to criticism from across the political spectrum.

And prompted soul-searching

Bangalore: Day by day the supporters of Baba Ramdev have increased, and the recent addition to the list is the famous hacker group 'Anonymous'. The group has supported Baba Ramdev, Anna Hazare and other individuals who support the Jan Lokpal Bill, on the movement against corruption. They have supported the movement by hacking the website of government IT organization, National Informatics Centre (NIC).

So far NIC has not commented

New Delhi: Ramdev's supporters are not only those who you can see and hear. There are some others who are showing solidarity with the yoga guru by getting aggressive online. Some underground hackers have now become a part of the fight against corruption.

As Baba Ramdev finds himself in the midst of a mud-slinging fest that includes accusations by Congress general secretary Digvijaya Singh for allegedly charging exorbitant rates for yoga, we thought it would be a good time to encourage the Baba and the rest of the political world to return to the basic teachings of yoga. Here are yoga experts on what they know for sure:

India’s burgeoning middle class is a trope that appears in much recent discussion of the country’s economic rise. Variously estimated at between 100 million and 400 million, depending on how they are measured, they’re central to the story of contemporary India and their

Trinamool silent on Ramdev crackdown

The Trinamool Congress has been maintaining a studied silence over the development surrounding Baba Ramdev. The party has chosen not to comment on the issue, despite the Opposition taking on the Congress-led UPA government for the crackdown on Baba Ramdev at Ramlila grounds on Sunday. Instead, Trinamool leaders are saying that it’s not an important issue.

“We have not discussed the issue, we have nothing to say,” said Sudip Bandyopadhyay, MP and chief whip of the party in Parliament. Union Minister for Urban Development Sougata Ray chose not to comment on the issue. “We have nothing to say,”

A day after boycotting the meeting of the Lokpal Bill drafting committee, Anna Hazare-led team on Tuesday made it clear that they had no intention to quit the joint panel and hit out at Union Minister Kapil Sibal for attacking them.

The cast of characters in the Ramdev drama is uncannily similar to the ek dhakka aur do variety at the Babri mosque on December 6, 1992.
