baba ji... Hinduism is 5000 years old and yoga too...... stop making these platforms as your marketing and event management activities...

印度教有5000年的历史，瑜伽也是......不要再拿这些来给自己做营销……

Moodi moving out of india permanently is the only ray of hope in Covid times

Curse on the stupid people who voted him

莫迪永远离开印度是疫情期间的唯一希望

诅咒那些投票给他的蠢人

Still living in the Past. Yoga is all nonsense. Eat high protein diet, full of meat, fish, eggs along with plenty of fruits. Go for Walk or jogging and do some amount of weight training . No need for Yoga.

仍然生活在过去，瑜伽都是扯淡。多吃高蛋白食物，肉、鱼、蛋，水果；去散步或慢跑，做一些举重训练，不需要瑜伽。

Baba not everyone has vista castle to do yoga.people finding hard to meet basic need and scrambing and getting advise to do yoga..inflation all time high

先生，不是每个人都住大房子有地方做瑜伽。人们难以满足基本需求，通货膨胀空前高涨，还建议他们去做瑜伽

Agnelo Dsa

people staying in small houses, 5-6 people in a room, 10×15 feet, can they do yoga?

Yoga is nonsense, just because some western countries have embraced it, does not mean that we too have follow.

房子小，5-6个人住一个房间，他们能做瑜伽吗?

瑜伽是无稽之谈，仅仅因为一些西方国家接受了它，并不意味着我们也要追随。

Vaccination at a way faster pace is the only ray of hope for India. Less than 5% vaccination in 6 months is a shame! At this rate, India cannot vaccinate even the herd immunity level in 5 years! With every new wave right after lockdown is over, more Indians will die.

加快疫苗接种速度是印度唯一的希望。6个月，只有不到5%的人口接种了疫苗，这是一个耻辱！

照这个速度，印度在5年内连群体免疫水平都达不到!

封锁一结束，就会有更多的印度人死亡。

Desi

What percentage of indians do yoga? Everyone talks about how good yoga but no one does it.

有多少印度人做瑜伽?

每个人都在谈论瑜伽有多好，但没有人去做。

Subbu Mani

Sir, actually better economy is a ray of hope for future and its your job to do. Let yoga be promoted by Baba ramdev alone and you concentrate on economy improvement.

先生，实际上更好的经济是未来的一线希望，这是您的工作。让拉姆德夫先生来推广瑜伽，你就可以专注于改善经济。

Daenerys

modi sold hindusim for a mandir, modi sold india for Ambani, modi sold vaccines for a Nobel, modi sold culture for yoga

莫迪为了一座神庙出卖了印度教，为了安巴尼出卖了印度，为了诺贝尔奖卖了疫苗，为了瑜伽卖了文化

Raj

That's the ONLY hope we Common people have. In 2nd wave we have seen there was no Bed, Oxygen, Ventilators, Medicines or even space at Cemetery. Only Do Yoga at Home & leave upon mighty God.

这是我们普通人唯一的希望。在第二波疫情期间，我们看到医院没有床位、氧气、呼吸机、药物，墓地甚至都没位置了。只能在家里做瑜伽，仰仗万能的神。

Ganesh Ratnam

No problem with yoga..solve the farmers problem.. addressing about yoga you are not going to solve economic and covid issues..

做瑜伽没问题，先解决农民的问题。谈论瑜伽不能解决经济问题，不能控制疫情。

OK Time

Morning jogging is best exercise. No yoga bhoga hoga required..

晨跑是最好的锻炼，不需要做瑜伽…

Our favourite actor is back on TV.

No wonder Biden Ji has declared India as the weakest link in US-led 'Quad' alliance. Unfortunately, instead of dealing with the apocalyptic situations and multiple crises in the country, Feku is still busy doing stupid things like declaring victory, holding rallies, buying MLAs, clap hands, clanging utensils, drinking gaumutra, doing yoga, lighting candles, building temples, blaming Nehru and feeding peacocks.

难怪拜登称印度是美国领导的四方联盟中最薄弱的一环。

不幸的是，莫迪不好好处理国末日局势和多个危机，而是忙着做一些愚蠢的事情，比如宣布胜利、举行集会、收买议员，拍手、敲打餐具、喝牛尿、做瑜伽、点蜡烛、建寺庙、指责尼赫鲁、喂孔雀。

Oh my. Not again. When shall we embrace modernity and be a prosperous nation?

天啊，又来了。我们何时才能拥抱现代化，成为一个繁荣的国家?

I never seen such despair in the last 40 years.

Someone said "if businessman is a prime minister, then that country will only be destroyed". Proof is there.

有人曾说:“如果商人当总理，那么这个国家只会被摧毁。”现在有证据了。

I know person who did yoga and miditation since very long.. he had covid and took treatment.. but sadly he died.. neither yoga nor medicine helped..

我认识一个人很久以前就开始做瑜伽和冥想了。他得了新冠，正在接受治疗。但不幸的是，他死了。瑜伽和药物都无济于事。

Proper nutrition, regular aerobic exercise and light weight training is the modern scientific recipe for good health.

补充适当的营养，定期做有氧运动和轻重量训练是保持健康的现代科学配方。

When will he start talking about assurance on quality of life, better education, development, employment etc.As a PM he talks about all nonsense

India is gas for a sensible leader.

他什么时候才会开始谈论保障生活质量、更好的教育、发展、就业等问题。作为总理，他说的全是废话。印度迫切需要一位明智的领导人。
