Dear Baba Ramdev,
I wrote you a letter on 22nd March and again, just two days ago, on 6th June 2011. I did not think I would write to you again so soon but I could not stop myself when I heard you saying that you want to build an army! You say you want to gather 11000 young men and women of India for this army. It really shocked me that you said, next time there would be ‘Ravanlila’ on the Ramlila grounds in Delhi. You added ‘Let’s see who will get beaten up then’. I am sure you are aware of what you are saying there. Ram is God and Ravan is the devil, while Lila means play. So do you really mean that instead of the play of God there will be the play of devil? And who is that devil going to be? You? You are threatening that you will build an army, giving arms training to 11000 young people in India. You want them to fight police and government with arms!
What happened to you Baba Ramdev? Your situation is really getting worse and worse! What would be the difference between your army and terrorist groups as the Taliban? They have created their own army, too! They give arms training, too! Will you also start training suicide bombers? Are you serious? You are supported by the RSS. Some of their members have been accused of terrorism already a long time ago. Is this the lesson that you give to young people in India? No more yoga, go and get your arms?
Stop for some moments and listen to yourself. Only yesterday you said yourself ‘If Mahatma Gandhi was there, he would be crying’ because of the violence on Saturday night. What are you, yourself, doing now? Have you forgotten the yogic lessons of Ahimsa or non-violence? How much aggression and violence is in your words! This doesn’t seem to be the voice of a yogi. Please stop talking like this or don’t call yourself a yogi or sanyasi anymore. Don’t think that people appreciate you talking like this. With every move in this direction, more and more people leave you.
I anyway heard that of the 50000 people that joined you last weekend in Delhi, 20000 were actually your employees and their families. You told them they would get their usual salary and should make a trip to Delhi with you. They are just bribed followers, the kind of followers I yesterday wrote about.
You yourself say you ran away from the grounds in Delhi, hiding in women clothes, so that the police couldn’t find you and shoot you, which you say was their intention. I wish you a long life but imagine, if actually something had happened to you in that night, people would have overturned the government by now! Why would they really want to do this?
The opposition party, the BJP, is now keen to do you a favour and to get you on their side. They believe they will secure the Hindu votes for the next election in this way. But now people of India got to know your intention and interest. It is not about people, it is not about the country. It is about you, your power and your money. People have understood this now and they will not support you or any party that you join or that supports you.
I also believe that the youth of India is not so stupid to believe you and run to you to learn how to fight the government with arms and weapons. Mister Ramdev, you have made a few big mistakes and now this is not about yoga and people’s wellbeing anymore. Your political ambitions have made you violent. You have crossed a line and I hope for you that you will realize this mistake soon.
Sending you much Love,

I think what he did is incredibly stupid of him! He had such a big amount of people who supported him and believed in him but I agree 100% that by such statements he forfeits this position that he worked for. I think he will soon backtrack before the government can retaliate in any way.
Although that speaker in the first part of the movie is clearly reading off a screen not understanding what he is saying, the rest of the news and the message is very interesting. I don’t know much about Indian politics but don’t they have anything else to do than taking care of this ridiculous yogi? First everyone runs to him, now everyone runs away from him!
If look back just one or two decade, the congress looted us indirect by developing mantras and slogans, and great reforming plans, but everything is done according to the benefit level to them-self, but not to public in real fact, for example [1] to build road construction work they not even planed for how to reduce transportation system, they keeping increasing no buses and other vehicles,in railways they always go for increasing no of crossing due to this the cost of the lane build will increase, that means who is take contract or giving quote those will get more benefit and MPs and MLAs those who is influencing the tender they will get 20% to 30% of the value, so due to this the quality of work and quality material both will be ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,people know what
considering all these things, new revolution will happen, but here people have have different perspective towards all these issues, but in real picture may change drastically like people may get guns in coming future, to that seen all these are becoming basement. so come out of the kind of problems one has to think and build a team to encounter, today ramdev babaji is in that way, there is no wrong in that,
