Baba Ramdev calls on Amma

KOLLAM: Yoga master Baba Ramdev visited spiritual leader Amritanandamayi in her ashram at Amritapuri here on Tuesday.  “Amma talks little but acts big. The problem today is that people talk a lot but don't act at all,” he said praising her humanitarian works.  He also received the embrace of the ‘hugging saint’ in their first meeting. Ramdev also spoke to the Math residents and students of Amrita University about yoga and its health benefits, giving pranayama and yoga demonstrations. 

“I asked Amma what should be done to help the future generations, and Amma said the ancient Indian sciences should be combined with modern science. Amma wants spirituality and science to go hand in hand. I am already putting efforts in this direction through my Ayurveda Institute, but would now go further with Amma’s blessings,” he said. Lauding the Math's secular approach in its initiatives, he said: “Here in Amritapuri there are no boundaries of language, caste, religion or anything. There is only oneness.”
