VIDEO | Haridwar: During a press conference, Yog Guru Ramdev says, “It has been unfortunate for this country that whatever was written in Sanskrit was accepted as scripture. The principles of Sanatan Dharma are universal, scientific, beneficial to all, and timeless. They are free from all forms of discrimination…We have never discriminated on the basis of nations either. Even the formation of nations involves political boundaries, but we have always upheld the principle of ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’ (The world is one family) and the belief that the Earth is our mother…Verses and episodes have been inserted into even the Valmiki Ramayana, portraying Lord Ram as someone who consumed meat and Mata Sita as someone who consumed meat and alcohol. Other verses have been inserted that portray Lord Ram as disrespecting Shudras and women. This was a grave religious, spiritual, and cultural sin committed in this country, and political figures provided protection to those responsible for it.” (Full video available on PTI Videos -
