Swami Ramdev is known for his Yoga exercises, he heads Divya Yog Mandir Trust which also uses Ayurveda to their patients, under the guidance of Acharya Bal Krishan.

Swami Ramdev earned popularity in India and the West by claiming to cure diseases through ‘pranayam’ but was criticised for the alleged use of powder made of human skulls and animal parts in his ayurvedic medicines.

Over 100 ex-volunteers from Divya Yoga Pharmacy went on strike alleging Swami Ramdev was putting powder of human skulls and animal organs in "medicines" and giving them to the less fortunate who are desperate for medical help.

Swami Ramdev is alleged to be a major supporter of the RSS, which Panthic groups describe as Anti-Sikh. They state their aim is to distort Sikh principles, history and rehat with the aim of bringing Sikhi under the umbrella of Hinduism. He is often seen with influential members of the RSS and makes speeches in support. He attends RSS rallies as a dignitary and is shown above with K.S. Sudarshan, the leader of the RSS, at a recent RSS convention. The BJP, the political wing of the RSS describe Swami Ramdev on their website as the "living symbol of Hindutva" (which Panthic groups describe as an Anti-Sikh socio-political-religious philosophy). The BJP state "Swamiji has dedicated his life to promoting good health and spreading the essence of Hindutva"

On his trip to the UK, he visited cultural centers, and religious places and was invited by Gurudwaras. Gurudwaras are by nature welcomming and open to all and ignore Caste, Colour, Creed or any other denomination. However, many UK Gurughar invited him and bestowed VIP status to him over and above that of sangat thus causing disrespect to this principle Sikh tenet.

On Wednesday 26th July Guru Nanak Nishkam Sewak Jatha welcomed Swami Ramdev at their Birmingham Gurdwara and Nishkam Educational and Cultural Centre (NECC). GNNSJ were advised by members of local sangat that it would not be a good idea inviting a major supporter of the RSS to address congregation at the centre as it is the duty of each and every Sikh to endeavour to spread Gurmat. However, SSNews has often written highly positively about the excellent sewa of GNNSJ in both the UK and abroad and hope such endeavours will continue as a primary focus.

Gurdwara Karamsar (Ilford, UK) also received Swami Ramdev giving him a VIP reception. Outside the Diwan Hall sangat pictured people bowing their heads to the local Baba Partap Singh who received Swami Ramdev. Ramdev was then ushered into the Darbar of Dhan Dhan Sri Guru Granth Sahib Maharaj and seated on the stage. The committee actively encouraged the disrespect to Guru Maharaj of having the RSS supporter speak over the Gurbani of the Akhand Path that was being conducted. Sri Guru Granth Sahib was being recited without the microphone on and the voice of the "living symbol of Hindutva" was being played on the loudspeakers to the congregation.

The Gurughar invited the major RSS supporter at a time when the Hukamnama of the Akal Takht to boycott the RSS community was in effect. Sangat allege at certain Gurughar clearly the status of parbandhak committees, Babae and even RSS-supporters is taking precedence over Guru Maharaj and Gurmat. In truth, Sikh Principles, Rehat and Respect for Guru Maharaj should be ensured at all costs.

I do yoga and I also watch Ramdeviji's Tv Programme. He doesnt speak much about Hinduism but only about benefits of yoga.

Known RSS supporters have no place on stage at Gurudwara Karamsar as only amritdharis should be allowed. Furthermore nobody let alone RSS members should sit on the stage and speak over Gurbani being recited from Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji.

I don't know any authentic rss link with swami ram dev ji, seems like our over parnod sikhs get on their bandwagon any chance they get and scream rss rss out of their lungs whenever they see any hindu wearing phagva/sadhu color coming to the gurdwara... unknowning that nirmala order of sikhism also wears phagva and have sadhu life style.

I know loads of people have issues with yogi coming to the gurdwara and sitting on a stage saying few wisdom of words about Paratama. Obviously, katar panthis/sharia types sikhs will defaniately have problem with this off course they think anything to do with yogmat is maha manmat, anti-gurmat, hindufied because of their over-parnoid, high hindu sensor nature?

Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji had nothing against mystic yogmat per say but he targetted hypocrisy(human nature effected by maya, greed) of yogis ie- occult powers, their show off instead of staying in humility.

Now if tomorrow he visits "Khalistani" Gurudwara some may feel he is Khalistani. They are Saintly people with one Ek Oankar message. A Hindu with true Naam & Ek Oankar in his heart is same as Sikh.

And those who are yelling "RSS" need to re-evaluate their sidak? If one Baba can distract you from your faith as you assume then ask yourself if you have any "Sidak" to begin with?

A Hindu with true Naam & Ek Oankar in his heart is same as Sikh.

HAHAH yes your right casue to have true naam he would have to take amrit

If we go with your statement above then all Bhagats and Sufi fakirs in Guru Granth Sahib needs to get Amrit because otherwise they may not qualify as "Naam" Abhiyassi? There are millions of souls enlightened who are not Sikhs, buddy!!!
