Baba Ramdev in a recent interview made comments about Celina Jaitely for actively supporting gays.
Baba said, ”These actresses know nothing about Bhartiya sanskriti. They stay away from their parents and have no morals. Unke partner har mahine badalte hain.”
He went onto claim that homosexuality is a disease which he can cure.However Celina has not taken the comments lying down instead has voiced her opinion against the Baba in an interview.
Baba Ramdev seems to have termed homosexuality as a disease. What’s your take on it?
If he says so, then this self proclaimed doctor has gone against the medical community of the entire world. With all due respect, just because he is a yoga maestro, he cannot and does not have the qualification or degree to diagnose any illness/disease. Without any medical background, it would anyways fall under fake medical malpractice.
But he does have a wide following, isn’t it?
Of course, but then he has the right to teach yoga and help people to use it to their benefit based on prior approval and diagnosis of a trained medical practitioner. However, he cannot make serious medical diagnosis based on religious beliefs and his own personal perspective.
It appears that you have really turned offensive this time around and aren’t willing to take it lying down.
And there is a reason behind that! Reactions such as those coming from the likes of Baba Ramdev are bound to happen every time there is a cultural revolution. Let me state an example. When ‘Sati Pratha’ was abolished, many people were offended and there were protests. It was the same in case of widow remarriage and child marriage as well. I feel eventually people do come out of it. Didn’t Shikhandi, who belonged to sexual minority, fight in the Mahabharata 5000 years back?
He has also made comments around ‘actresses like her’ changing partners every month. Aren’t you offended?
Well, isn’t it strange that this great Brahamachari seems to know more about my sex life then I may know myself? I couldn’t be more amused when I heard him making such statements. I really believe though that he himself does not know the meaning of true ‘Brahamacharya’.” He has also challenged on my knowledge of ‘bhartiya sanskriti’. Well, this is my take on it:
1) I am a 4th generation Bhartiya Fauji kid
2) I am a Bhartiya Sundari 2001
3) My 80% education has been in Bhartiya Hindi medium Kendriya Vidyalaya
4) My education background is science and computers
5) I had Sanskrit as a subject until 10th grade
6) I have lived all my life in the interiors of India
7) I speak five Indian languages
9) I have been a Yoga practitioner since the age of 14
Need I say more?
