On Wednesday evening Yoga Guru Baba Ramdev addressed the jam-packed audience at the Louis Kahn Plaza lawns of the Indian institute of Management included students, management graduates, professors, faculty members, staff, invites and their families. Here are some quotes from Baba Ramdev’s IIM Ahmedabad address:

“Pranayam forms basic breathing exercises that help oxygen reach every part of your body which will not only rejuvenate all the cells but also fill you with a lot of energy. According to me, a man needs six hours of sleep, one hour of yoga, one hour of daily routine, two hours for family and 14 hours of hard work.”

“Generate Energy to prevent Allergy.”

“You might be managing big businesses and enterprises. Yoga is important because it teaches you to manage your own self. It brings about a complete balance in your body making it healthy.”

“The youth should come forward, be healthy and lead the country.”

“Yoga not only helps you with your physical ailments but also your mental ailments. If a person has physical problems, he is going to affect only himself, but if a person has a mental ailment, his actions are bound to affect many more. Thus yoga can be of great help here as well.”

“Ayurveda is a mix of art and science.”

“Ancient India was witness to tremendous progress in health sciences. Vaccination has been mentioned in ancient texts dating back to the 6th century.”

“Negative thoughts are the cause of mental illness.”

“Remedy of all illnesses lies in yoga and healthy lifestyle.”

“A country can only be healthy if its people are healthy.”
