Antigay Yoga Guru Stretches Into Indian Politics

It always amazes me when "EXPERTS" claim that they are going to get rid of us, and all they have to do is change our brain waves! They forget we have hearts and that LOVE and TRUTH are stronger than any electrode, hypnosis technique, etc! Love has and always will win out no matter what they come up with. TRUTH can never be held down forever! Look at the middle east, and how our american governement even supported all those dictators and their armies with BILLIONS OF BILLIONS OF OUR tax dollars for decades and decades- now they are all falling like dominos! Why, because "Injustice may last a long time, but not forever!" Not as long as we NEVER GIVE UP! NEVER STOP TELLING THE TRUTH! NEVER GIVE THEM OUR STAMP OF APPROVAL! NEVER! NEVER! NEVER!

In 1986, along with two partners, Chuck Baier and Victor Phillips, who were Transcendental Meditation teachers, I founded Northern Lights Alternatives, which to this day produces the AIDS Mastery Workshops in the US, UK and Canada. Fortunately, since the appearance of Protease Inhibitors the nature of the work has changed, its mission expanded, but its spiritual context remains. Before I created the workshop I was teaching acting and facilitating practical/spiritual programs that I’d designed for people in the arts at the original Actors Institute which is the brainchild of Dan Fauci. When AIDS began to show up among us, Chuck and Victor approached me to suggest that we take the work on the road, which seemed like a great idea. Dan Fauci offered us the use and outreach of the Actors Institute everywhere and Chuck and Victor secured, not just the blessing of the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, but the support of “his” people wherever they were. Clearly being homophobic does not come with the tradition. Swami Ramdev’s narrow, simplistic, and offensive point of view reflects who he is as do the views of other homophobes hiding behind the mask of religion.

Baba Ramdev ---> True Indian His speehes are mostly against multinational and bad politician.They are his biggest oppsition. Hope he will continue his good work…God Bless him

Why the people other than Indians are concerned of Swami Ramdev's activities/thoughts/ political party formation etc etc?? It shows that people even in countries other than India are concerned about the good things which is going to happen in the near future..Others are concerned of loosing there business in India..someone even compared Indian culture with there culture..we Indians are very much aware about the social conditions among those contries when kissing in public are common.. it is known to all that in such contries they have opened abortion center outside high school..so stop discussing about Indianness and its culture...

Looks like a person who lost his job to someone in India is trolling around. :D

It's good to see the inferior Indians defending their homophobic yoga leader, it proves every bias I have. As for America, don't make me laugh, America is a free country, in India you can't even see a movie with a man kissing a woman since you perverts consider that taboo. So don't lecture me about freedom, Mr. Inferior Indian, don't lecture me about racism in a society that refers to some people as "untouchables" and who still has a caste system that might not be the law of the land but it still remains observed. I've seen Indian movies like Salaam Bombay, I see how you get along with your Muslim minority, you people make me sick. You Indians believe in karma? Well, by the laws of Karma you should suffer just as much as the suffering you inflict on gays, and thanks to Pakistan, maybe you will.

Most of these comments demonstrate the ignorance of this site's clientele. The article is basically a smear job. Congrats on the poor journalism.

HE NEEDS SOMEBODY TO STRETCH HIS ASS SO HE CAN THINK STRAIGHT !!!!

to the author of the article - Julie Bolcher the story you have reported is biased. why highlight only anti-gay part. does advocate.com is pro-gay site only? why dont you hightlight the fact that because of this guru many people have benefitted which is obvious in many news reports worldwide, that his yoga show are being watched everyday by 30 million people everyday, that he runs the largest OPD in his ayurvedic dispensary, that yoga is a very beneficial regime which is scientifically proven? why only anti-gay part is highlighted? this beats me. only negative and sensational reporting is the mantra (again an indian word) of the reporters? somebody commented here that he looks crossed eye. what an upbringing. what a culture of the nation and society he/she represents commenting on somebody's disabilities without checking the facts. by the way, this guru is not crossed eye but the reporter/author wanted to show a poor picture to win some brownie point. god saves

America Canada originally belonging to red indians Australia to Australoid aborigines New Zealand to Maoris South America of Mayans All who are staying in these countries and thinking they are smarter and more advanced, do remember that you are descendant of illegal occupiers of the above land, occupied by force, cheat, violence, skulduggery, rape and facts which are beyound rapproachment. do not bring countries like iran and cuba. all the forces together are fighting in afghanistan for last 9 years without any result, lost in vietnam after fighting for 11 years, cheated the world invaded iraq in the name of WMDs. How Sick of You Thinkg twice before you write anything derogatory about a person or a nation. look at yourself - before telling someone that your shirt is torn, check your zip, it is open, check your behind it is exposed, check you have no underweart and you unnecessarily trying to screw others when your sensitive parts are not invincible
