Wrote this tweet 9 yrs ago- folks who are trying to educate me about him may not have heard his name then as he want much famous then!
2010 -11 was the time when one could find his posters pasted on walls on MG Road, advertising about his inner engineering workshops, same way as we see of politicians seeking vote during elections - I am not joking!
I am not questioning his contribution nor am I trying to belittle his work, problem occurs when someone tries to outgrow faith, that he/she bases his/her success on!
Having said this, I feel, and as many here said as well, today Sanatan has a need for everyone and more the merrier. The controversy should be laid to rest. Some of the causes, that Sadguru has picked up, are really the need of the hour for the faith!

Press Club of India has 4,200 journalist members, 900 associate members, few dozen corporate members & a Lutyen zone property at 1, Raisina Road (obviously given at taxpayer’s exp), where they are eligible to subsidised food and subsidised liquor!
Yesterday PCI organised an election for their body; just like @ECISVEEP , they too have an election commission, difference is that their voter list didn’t go beyond 4200 & guess what-all sorts of charges flew, thick n fast, of intimidation and even forged withdrawal of Pallavi G Image
Note how the self proclaimed paragon of journalism in India- @ThePrintIndia - and its “holier than thou” Founder @ShekharGupta , who routinely cuts the clutter of every choking drain of Indian democracy- albeit in his head- had ONLY this to say theprint.in/india/covid-no… !

In my 4 years of association with Govt - of which 12 months was in official capacity-I have NOT earned a single penny extra (in addition to salary of 12 months);I challenge this bustard or his boss to prove me wrong on my assertion -Im prepared to face any scrutiny fm any agency!
And @rameshnswamy agar apne hi baap ki aulaad hai to mera challenge accept kar ke. Rest ur hero is the most obnoxiously hateful 3rd rate character- who and whose supporters hand out certificates to everyone but cudnt even take care of his own home & u very well know what I mean!
Thirdly @rameshnswamy and yes I worked hard to defeat ur boss in the HC to show him his place and u can check with our AG and all the lawyers involved abt this claim. Despite all his bravado, he had to face defeat in d court that scrutinised that law!

Again asking all the self proclaimed vaccine experts- can giving shots to everyone help solve this problem especially when the surge is clear?Let @MoHFW_INDIA manage this as they have more data than u to figure out what needs to be done now basis what they have done in the past!
DONT forget that we r averaging 3 million vaccinations per day; have already vaccinated 90 million folks until yesterday. Also don’t fall in the hands of lobbies and propagandists about how India is not vaccinating enough/ narrative that gained ground after India helped Paraguay!
And lastly, no country will allow its procedures to be bypassed just because CDC thinks that Pfizer is good- did CDC allow medicines basis ICMR recommendations? Did CDC ever try to look into claims of Ayush helping India avoid COVID in earlier phase?

Jiddu Krishnamurthy’s arrival on scene and his subsequent act of giving up the title bestowed on him, dissolving the cult created to support him and then reworking his way up basis his real work in the area of philosophy and thought is what sets him apart and gave him following!
Osho, despite all his failings, was a great thinker and an original one. He challenged so many notions but unlike Jiddu K, he could not give up the lure of the cult and allowed him to be consumed by that....his departure was a loss to the world of philosophy and religion
Swami Dayanand Ji was one of the finest exponents of Vedanta and he remained a guru till his last - reason why he is revered so much amongst all his followers, students and Vedanta enthusiasts!

Talking of Interest rates - Indian middle class would do well to remember the contribution of two unsung heroes of that move- NN Vaghul & KV Kamath; latter single handedly demolished the carefully crafted high interest regime mastered by likes of Deepak Parekhs/ Keki Dadiseths!
Ofcourse ABV Govt policies made that happen but fact remains that but for that assault on high interest regime by Kamath led ICICI, cars and houses would have remained a distant dream for middle class. HDFC used to charge upwards of 22% on home loans
Guess what, check net worth of Deepak Parekh and Keki and compare it with that of Kamath - you would know who reaped biggest benefit of this expansion of growth. But fact remains that Kamath is an unsung hero of Indian Middle Class for whatever he did in mid 90s and early 2000s

So positive economics is: high interest rates on deposits, low lending rates, low inflation and food prices but high MSP, no GST but top class infra and only Subbu Swamy can help achieve it!
Maximum rate cut on small savings is not even 1% meaning, if you have an investment of 1 crore in savings, you will be poorer by 1Lakh (simple interest ) - translating to a loss of 8333 per month. Now tell me which middle class has an investment of 1 crore in ppf/ small savings?
Economically speaking - high interest rates on small savings is the single biggest reason for higher interest rates in the economy- if you want economy to pick up and credit to sustain growth then u need lower deposit rates/ ofcourse banks need to pass on benefits!
