Dehradun: Yoga and pranayama, basically improve the immune system and could even help in fighting serious diseases like cancer and AIDS(Acquired Immuno Deficiency Syndrome), according to Yoga Guru Baba Ramdev.
The ultimate aim of Yoga is to strike a balance between mind and body and attain self-enlightenment. To achieve this, yoga uses movement, breath, posture, relaxation and meditation in order to establish a healthy, lively and balanced approach to life.
Prana, according to Yogic sutras, is the source of which energy evolves from. It is the universal substrate. Pranayama is the knowledge and control of Prana, therefore, stopping of the movement of Prana is Pranayama.
Talking to media persons on Thursday, the Yoga Guru said he plans to conduct an intensive study on AIDS and was hopeful that there was a possibility of AIDS prevention and management through Yoga.
Baba Ramdev, is in Dehradun to conduct a seven-day Yoga camp scheduled to begin today,
When questioned in reference to the recent labour controversy about his Pharmacy, Ramdev said that it was "not a corporate house", and now as the Uttaranchal Government had given it a clean chit, there was no room for any suspicion in this regard.
"Labour laws are strictly being followed in my Pharmacy," he asserted, adding that however, the controversy had only added to Yoga-Ayurveda's popularity.
Ramdev emphasised that he would always remain "clean", and suggested that people should focus on taking advantage of the knowledge instead of raising such controversies.
However, actually speaking on Yoga, he said his 90 per cent focus has always been to cure patients through Yogic practices. "Health is our birth right and a person can not live on medicine for a longer period," was Ramdev’s view.
He further added that in the modern era, where a huge amount of money is being spent on arms and medicines, only a single disease like obesity is enough to disbalance the economy of a country.
Ramdev also said that he was more famous as a cultural personality than a "Hindu brand", and further claimed that he was the most popular Indian in Pakistan followed by Amitabh Bachchan and Sania Mirza.
