The Messiah of Yoga

by Mansi Agarwal
In two-and-a-half short years, Swami Ramdev has galvanized the great Indian public into turning ardent practitioners of yoga and pranayama. In the process, millions are losing weight, healing from various ailments and making a bid for optimum wellness.

As the swami parts the folds of his angavastram, he reveals a sinuous, fit physique and when he practices his trademark kapal bhatti, his stomach subsides into a deep hollow, sharply outlining his ribs. No prizes for guessing the name of the yogi. Could it be anyone other than Swami Ramdev?
