[Reader-list] Fw: Baba Ramdev claims Yoga has a cure...

[Aditya Raj Kaul]

One needs to understand that it isn't just another Baba, Maulvi or a father.
It is the larger Indian Society. One shouldn't shut their eyes to this fact.


Moreover, the major debate is on legalization, most of the common people
have consensus on decriminalization.

@ Inder 'Converted' Salim

Your immaturity again makes me laugh. May Baba Ramdev bless you.

Do some 'Pranayama'. It may help you. It doesn't only help Hindus. It helps
Homosexuals too. Just everybody.

Hope the DESI dosage helps your case.

Cheers
