Vijayapura:India won’t become Jagadguru just by saying Bharat Mata ki jai, Vande Mataram:Baba Ramdev
Yoga guru interacts with media
# Religion, intolerance in politics causing instability in country
# ‘More than building Ram Mandir, adopt ideologies of Sri Rama’
Vijayapura, Dec 30: Yoga Guru Baba Ramdev expressed concerns that in recent days, political parties have been creating friction between castes just for power.
In an interaction with media people here on Sunday, Ramdev said that most of the electronic media channels have been telecasting programmes on astrology and Vastu. Unfortunately, people were being cheated in the name of astrology and vastu. Shani, Rahu, Ketu-Tantric or conspiracy were not the essence of Indian religion. The essence of Indian religion was scientific, he said.
India should be built as a spiritual force by 2040 with the help of noble economy, highest spirituality and pious politics. Because of the intolerance in casteism, religion and politics, social, economic and religious instability was created in the country. The integrity and unity of the country was at stake.
Unfortunately, the political parties do not have the interest to build caste-free society. But they were trying to get power through any means. In view of this, Patanjali would support those who work for the country, without backing any political parties for any reasons, Ramdev clarified.
Biggest university in world to be built in India
The Patanjali has decided to build the biggest university in the world in New Delhi to bring back the educational past glory by imparting education on the lines of Nalanda and Takshashila. It was aimed at accommodating one lakh students every year. Well-equipped reading rooms, world class research centre, business studies, law, sports and other subjects would be provided for the students. The university to be constructed at a cost of Rs 20-25 thousand crores would start its function. The country has been facing two kinds of poverty- one rational poverty and another economic poverty. Those two poverties should be eliminated from the country to build the healthy and rich India, he said.
India won’t become Jagadguru by shouting slogans
“India would not become the superpower of the world just by shouting Bharat Mata ki Jai and Vande Mataram slogans. We should work for it.
Unfortunately, caste-free India is not becoming the agenda of the political parties. The political parties have been sowing the seeds of hatred and divide the society in the name of caste and religion. Indigenous products should be our priority, because of the foreign companies have been looting the hard earned money. Patanjali has planned to open a yoga centre in each village in the country”, he said.
Don’t restrict Rama to any particular caste
Lord Rama, Hanumanta, Patanjali Maharshi and others should not restrict to any particular communities or castes. Priority should be given to adopting the ideologies of Rama instead of constructing Mandir to him. People should emulate the ideologies and personality of Rama, he said.
When asked about a research scholar insulting Rama, Baba Ramdev said that “insulting our ancestors is a spiritual and social crime”.
‘Hum to fakir hain- vazeer se judte nahin’
When asked whether Prime Minister Narendra Modi fulfilled his promises and did he work for bringing back black money, Ramdev said that ‘hum to fakir hain- vazeer se judte nahin’ (I am a saint. How could I join with PM), he said.
“Instability prevailed in the country due to politics. Crime in the name of cow slaughter is not acceptable. Gau mata should be protected, but at the same time, humanity should also be prevailed. Such single incidents should not be generalized and termed as intolerance.
Both Hindus and Muslims have built the country. Our blood is same whether Allah says it or Bhagvan says it. Our ancestors were same. Don’t ever make your hearts like stones in the name of mandir and masjid”, he said.
On black money issue, Ramdev said that “black money issue is entrusted to Modi and I have taken the responsibility of cleaning the black minds”.

Kollam (PTI): A teacher convicted in the sensational murder of Dr Vandana Das inside a hospital here was sentenced to life term on Saturday, and the prosecution said it will move an appeal seeking death penalty for the accused. The victim's family also batted for "maximum punishment".
Dr Das was brutally killed inside a taluk hospital in May 2023 by G Sandeep.
Kollam Additional District and Sessions judge P N Vinod sentenced Sandeep to a total of 30 years for various offences under the then Indian Penal Code (IPC) and said that after he serves that period, his life imprisonment for Das' murder will commence.
The court also imposed a fine of Rs 2.35 lakh on the convict.
Though the prosecution had sought death penalty for the accused during the arguments on sentence, the court was of the view that the case does not fall under the rarest-of-rare category to warrant the maximum punishment.
It was also of the view that there was a chance of the convict getting reformed as he told the court that the rest of his life would be one of repentance, the order on sentence said.
"At the same time, I agree with the stand of the prosecution to the effect that the sentence should commensurate with the gravity of the crime and the sentence should not only be reformative, but should also have a deterrent effect."
"In my view, the said objective can be achieved by directing that the term sentences that will be imposed will run consecutively and life sentence that has to be imposed will commence only after the expiration of terms sentences," the judge said.
After the verdict, special public prosecutor (SPP) Prathap G Padickal told reporters outside the court that he will recommend to the prosecution to file an appeal seeking enhancement of the life imprisonment to death penalty.
The victim's father said that the verdict has come as a relief for the family, but that he cannot authoritatively say whether his late daughter has got justice. He indicated his dissatisfaction with the punishment, saying that steps will be taken to seek its enhancement after discussions with the public prosecutor.
Dr Das' mother said that the family can only wish for the maximum punishment and it was up to the court to decide what sentence should be given. She said that the family will go in appeal, but declined to comment on whether her daughter got justice.
She tearfully said that she wants the convict to suffer the same pain that her daughter underwent "as he stabbed her 27 times".
The court on March 17 had convicted Sandeep for various offences under the IPC, including murder, destruction of evidence and wrongful restraint.
It had also held him guilty under the provisions of the Kerala Healthcare Service Persons and Healthcare Service Institutions (Prevention of violence and damage to property) Act 2012.
Sandeep was brought to the taluk hospital by the police for medical treatment during the small hours of May 10, 2023 and he went on a sudden attacking spree using a pair of surgical scissors kept in the room where his leg injury was being dressed.
A school teacher by profession, he had initially attacked the police officers and another person who had accompanied him to the hospital and then turned on the young Dr Das, who could not escape to safety.
She was stabbed several times and later succumbed to her injuries in a private hospital in Thiruvananthapuram where she was rushed following the attack.
Dr Das was a native of the Kaduthuruthy area of Kottayam district and the only child of her parents.
She was a house surgeon at Azeezia Medical College Hospital and was working at the Kottarakkara taluk hospital as part of her training.
Sandeep had called the emergency number 112, claiming that his life was in danger. When local police located him, he was standing close by his home, surrounded by local residents and his relatives, and had a wound on his leg following an alleged quarrel.
He was then taken to the hospital for dressing the wound.
