Baba Ramdev On Global Sanatan Dharma Mission
Ramdev went on to share his larger vision for Sanatan Dharma. He said that his aim is to connect over 500 crore people worldwide with yoga, spirituality, and Sanatan values. He described this as a “world victory journey” for Sanatan Dharma. According to him, it’s not a religion, but a way of life that connects all of humanity.
Ramdev said, “Yoga is the art of making human life balanced, healthy and positive.” He further stated that yoga belongs to everyone, not to any one religion. He believes Sanatan Dharma is about peace, balance, and spiritual living rather than dividing people.
His comments have sparked a range of reactions online. While some praised him for promoting Indian roots and unity, others saw the remarks as controversial.
