The Life and Times of Baba Ramdev by Ashok Raj Pdf

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.

The Algebra of Warfare-Welfare by Irfan Ahmad,Pralay Kanungo Pdf

Electoral democracy combines the ideas and practices of warfare and welfare, where both work in tandem as near synonyms. India’s robust electoral democracy exemplifies this combination in diverse forms. Critically analysing the 2014 Parliamentary elections beyond the seduction of immediacy and bare cold statistics, this book puts human subjectivity at the centre of election studies and, through an anthropological–sociological approach, makes lives—human and non-human, lived and unlived or unlivable—central to any understanding of elections and democracy. Crafting a new, comprehensive approach, this volume looks at the 2014 elections in relation to the changing nature and forms of elections and democracy globally. Coming from multidisciplinary backgrounds, the contributors to this volume use ethnographic observations to open up a space for new theoretical and methodological reflections on the role of media in Indian elections, the shift to the right in 2014 and its consequences, the significance of traditional Hindu spaces such as the river Ganga in BJP’s victory, the role of gurus like Baba Ramdev, and the electoral choices available to and exercised by the minorities, among others.

Yog Guru Swami Ramdev by Ashok Raj Pdf

योग के पुनर्जागरण व भारतीय नवजागरण के पुरोधा के रूप में स्वामी रामदेव आज संपूर्ण विश्व में चर्चित हैं। वे योग और प्राणायाम के अपने अनोखे कार्य द्वारा प्राणघातक बीमारियों जैसे—कैंसर; एड्स सहित लगभग सारे रोगों के उपचार का दावा करते हैं। आम जनता के स्वास्थ्य और संस्कार में सकारात्मक परिवर्तन करने के उनके आह्वान के परिणामों से सब चमत्कृत हैं। इसीलिए आश्चर्यजनक रूप से बाबा रामदेव ने न केवल जन-साधारण के बीच बल्कि देश के बुद्धिजीवी वर्ग; कॉरपोरेट विशेषज्ञों; वैज्ञानिकों; चिकित्सकों और देश के कई वामपंथी-चरमपंथियों के बीच भी अपना विशेष स्थान बना लिया है। आश्चर्य यह है कि राष्ट्रीय और वैश्विक आध्यात्मिक पुनरुत्थान के नए विचारक के रूप में बाबा रामदेव के अभ्ढ़युदय के बावजूद उन्हें ‘अकादमिक’ चर्चाओं में अभी अपना स्थान नहीं मिला है। यह कृति उस खाई को भरने का प्रयास है। यह बाबा रामदेव के निर्माण; विवादों के साथ-साथ उनकी चामत्कारिक सफलता; भारी जन-उत्साह एवं प्रशंसा का विश्लेषण है। ‘स्व से पहले राष्ट्र’ ही स्वामी रामदेव के जीवन का मूलमंत्र है। स्वदेशी और स्वदेश-प्रेम के प्रति आमजन को जागरूक करने के उनके प्रयासों को पूरे समाज का भारी समर्थन मिला है। यह कृति उनके राष्ट्रवादी चिंतन और भय व भ्रष्टाचार के अनाचार के विरुद्ध आक्रोश को विवेचित करने का विनम्र प्रयास है। स्वामी रामदेव के चिंतन और परिवर्तनकारी उद्देश्य एवं कार्यकलापों को जानने-समझने में सहायक एक संपूर्ण जीवन-गाथा।

Yoga Guru to Swadeshi Warrior by Sandeep Deo Pdf

'Can anyone imagine that a man with such a strong, continuous and unbroken will has been reaching out to the masses with the goal 'one life-one mission'. He has been travelling the country round the clock and has been meeting lakhs of people every-day and motivating them through yoga. If Baba Ramdev would have been in any other country then there would have been so many Universities that would have done PhD on his life history.' I had once asked Baba Ramdev that yoga gives energy, good-health and zeal but how does it help when you are surrounded with so many problems? 'Baba Ramdev had started his journey for the well being of this country's citizens through yoga, especially for the poor who were not able to afford medicines. After travelling for ten years across the country he noticed that it's not only the health of the citizens that needed attention but also the 'health of the country' so from then onwards he began to voice his concerns related to the dysfunctions of the nation. Baba Ramdev is such a personality who doesn't rest till he achieves his goals.'

The Oxford History of Hinduism: Hindu Practice by Gavin Flood Pdf

Traditions of asceticism, yoga, and devotion (bhakti), including dance and music, developed in Hinduism over long periods of time. Some of these practices, notably those denoted by the term yoga, are orientated towards salvation from the cycle of reincarnation and go back several thousand years. These practices, borne witness to in ancient texts called Upaniṣads, as well as in other traditions, notably early Buddhism and Jainism, are the subject of this volume in the Oxford History of Hinduism. Practices of meditation are also linked to asceticism (tapas) and its institutional articulation in renunciation (saṃnyăsa). There is a range of practices or disciplines from ascetic fasting to taking a vow (vrata) for a deity in return for a favour. There are also devotional practices that might involve ritual, making an offering to a deity and receiving a blessing, dancing, or visualization of the master (guru). The overall theme—the history of religious practices—might even be seen as being within a broader intellectual trajectory of cultural history. In the substantial introduction by the editor this broad history is sketched, paying particular attention to what we might call the medieval period (post-Gupta) through to modernity when traditions had significantly developed in relation to each other. The chapters in the book chart the history of Hindu practice, paying particular attention to indigenous terms and recognizing indigenous distinctions such as between the ritual life of the householder and the renouncer seeking liberation, between 'inner' practices of and 'external' practices of ritual, and between those desirous of liberation (mumukṣu) and those desirous of pleasure and worldly success (bubhukṣu). This whole range of meditative and devotional practices that have developed in the history of Hinduism are represented in this book.
