Come to Malaysia Swami Ramdev


In the language of north India it would have been called a tamasha, and it was certainly quite a performance.

In a third-floor suite of a Delhi hotel, a pair of cabinet ministers pleaded with a holy man dressed in saffron robes, urging him not to launch the hunger strike he had threatened. A few miles away, under awnings set up to ward off the worst of the summer sun, supporters of the holy man were wondering where their guru was, firm in their commitment to join him on the supposed fast-to-death.

Swami Ramdev is probably the most famous holy guru in India. From his base next to the Ganges in Haridwar, in the foothills of the Himalayas, he controls a yoga and meditation network worth £150m. Every day, his early morning television show attracts up to 20 million viewers in India alone. Two years ago, he paid £2m to buy the Scottish island of Little Cumbrae to establish a spiritual centre.
