Bom in 1965 in village Saidalipur in Mahendragarh district of Haryana to Ramniwas Yadav and Gulabo Devi, the child Ramkishan was born and brought up just like any other ordinary village child with childlike pranks in the rural environment. He became a Sanyasi on 9 April 1995, and he calls this date his date of birth. In modern times, Swami Ramdev has taken upon himself the responsibility to bring back our ancient glory as well as link us to healthy ways of living. He seems to have descended on this material world to eradicate ignorance, problems, corruption and ill health. In addition to his work in the field of yoga, Swami Ramdev has also been involved in social and political causes. He has been a vocal advocate for Ayurveda and traditional Indian medicine and has campaigned against the use of chemical-based products in personal care and household products. He is the founder of Patanjali Ayurved Limited, one of India’s fastest-growing FMCG companies. In this book, we will explore different shades of his personality to trace the facts that have contributed to his making the national and international brand he is today.

The continuing saga of a contemporary mass leader who sought out a vision and a method to amalgamate yoga and health care into the mainstream consciousness Baba Ramdev’s emergence as the new ideologue of a national and global spiritual resurgence is considered by many as a curious phenomenon. This work is a study on the making of the Ramdev spectacle with all its inescapable assertiveness, mass enthusiasm and, of course, controversies. It seeks to locate his philosophy in today’s socio-cultural milieu, while tracing its origins in Indian spiritual history, and the past landmark reformist movements that have been initiated in the country by earlier path-breakers including Sri Aurobindo, Swami Dayananda, Paramhansa Yogananda, Swami Sahajanand Saraswati, Bhagwan Nityananda, J. N. Krishnamurty and Sri Ramana Rishi. Indeed, Ramdev represents a renewed continuity to the great revival of the ancient Indian spiritual traditions and yoga that took place in the twentieth century and received recognition worldwide. With his own version of holistic yoga as a ploy for instituting the universal right to health, Baba Ramdev has proposed two distinct ideological alternatives to the current established order of the world – pranayama and the yogic way of life as the key to health restoration and well-being; and manifestation of an enabling spiritual environment for personal and social transformation. Ramdev’s arrival once again underlines the continuing significance of Oriental spiritualism the world over as it offers perhaps the most promising insights for the creation of a ‘new spiritually-awakened man’ – a man at ease with himself and with the world around him.

Baba Ramdev went for a mission to promote health of all citizens so that poor people can keep optimum health through yoga and overcome diseases that cannot be cured even through expensive medicines. But while on this mission, he found out that the bigger problem lies within the country than globally with regards to health. Then he started to raise his voice. He is man of determination and once he takes aim, he does not give up until it is accomplished.
