This yoga guru’s Yoga and Ayurveda Research Center has just recently began construction in Houston. Now he’s been invited to “display his yogic exercises” before Congress. The center looks like it could be something great as it offers many such things as a clinic, university, and a herbal garden.

He’s been noted as saying some controversial things, at the same time, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar is quoted as having said about him:

If an individual can be credited with reviving yoga in this country (India), it is solely Swami Ramdev. Yoga can cure even fatal diseases and Swami Ramdev has definitely proved it time and again. Swami Ramdev has spread yoga to such an extent that sooner or later, one has to embrace it.

Some of those controversial things I’ve alluded to are apparently related to quotes he’s said being taken out of context about yoga and AIDS or cancer. It’s hard to tell who to trust about such things. But with this center being completed sometime next year, I’m certain he’ll gain much more popularity here in the U.S.
