The Rise Of India's Crony Spiritualism

In our country God men are as old as the concept of God and Religion. The gullible common man ever remains fooled by these God men so much so that they have become a power unto themselves Over a time all such organized faith, cult and religious movements have effectively become the smartest and most flourishing start up ideas that has over a time become a superlative profiting business ventures. The Guru-Baba duo of Ravishankar and Ramdev are currently the emerging nexus of Modiism

Ramdev Baba's nine year old Patanjali Ayurved reports Rs 5000 crore annual revenue from virtually nothing when it started in year 2007 and now is all set to double that figure in the current financial year .Ramdev is going after big established multinationals like Nestle, Colgate Palmolive and Unilever and he insists they will be left clueless. That speaks the kind of political clout that he garners. Seeing Patanjali's success, Ravi Shankar's Sri Sri Ayurveda is also on the way to rake billions In short Guru-Baba duo's commercial empires have grown exponentially into thousands of crores post Modi Raj

Ravishakar again is one of those self appointed spiritual guru who was allowed to hold his grand Tamasha the so called cultural jamboree last year in Delhi's yamuna river's fragile floodplain in spite of public and environmentalists uproars. Not only that the Govt at the Center also used the Indian Army's manpower for the construction of a seven acre stage to accommodate some 8500 artists. This amounts to most stinking and shameless criminal use of political power to pamper a private citizen's ego .It was further shocking to see our most respected Prime Minister Modi gracing the function. Truly it is so very frustrating to watch how political parties in our country remain enslaved to the arrogance of such self glorified Spiritual Gurus. Incidentally it will be costing the Govt exchequer 50 crore and a 10 year time to repair the damages caused to the yamuna floodplain by the Art of Living's 3 day cultural event

Surprisingly Ravi Shanker has today refused to pay the National Green Tribunal(NGT) the 5 crore penalty imposed on his Art of Living for the serious environmental damages to the Yamunna floodplain .Not only this he had the audacity to blame the Govt for permitting him to hold his tamasha on the floodplain. Now should we hail or wail the rise of India's Crony Spiritualism is something beyond me

DE LHI Gasping!!

Delhiites have turned indifferent to the " Toxic Air" that they breath They have stopped bothering about the "smoke screen " that is keeping away "Sun light" from giving them the ray of "HOPE" to keep their lungs "Sun Shined" . Like "AGE" for them now even the AQI (Air Quality Index) has become a sheer number .They have long since stopped reacting to the AQI shooting up. They have lost their "JOSH"" to protest for their fundamental right to breath. Delhi is the very seat of the duly elected "POWER". of World's largest Democracy The "custodian" of this Democracy reside here at "7 LOK KALYAN" but remain hardly visible in and around the city This "custodian" continues to remain the very "Most" 'Frequent Flier' of our Democracy and the only 'STAR ' campaigner for the political party that he comes from.

MY MODISTORY

I am one among 900 million plus "nuts and bolts" of our Democracy , who become "faceless" faces in the crowd after every 5 years. Year 2014 election was in every sense historic It was beyond doubt a landslide victory for BJP and the beginning of the so called "MODI" Raj In year 2014 my reason and my josh for casting my vote for BJP was "Modi". His speeches were "sparkling confidence" that set ablaze the confidence of the nation that was trying to rise up from the cesspool of corruption Looking back now after 11 years I realise that year 2014 was also the beginning of era called "Political Branding" that would covert a "politician" into a larger than life "Mega Leader" Perhaps that is the reason that today in politics "anti-incumbency" does not matter at all . Here are in brief a Common man's bunch of thoughts on "Modi Story". These ...
