New Delhi: India is known globally as the land of yoga, and yoga guru Baba Ramdev has played a key role in spreading its practice worldwide. Through Patanjali and his public campaigns, Ramdev has popularized yoga and Ayurveda as natural methods for maintaining health and preventing disease.
Recently, Baba Ramdev highlighted the benefits of Vajrasana, a yoga posture he says works like a natural remedy for improving digestion and managing lifestyle diseases. According to him, yoga combined with Ayurveda can help treat or control almost every health problem.
Gut Health and Lifestyle
Modern lifestyles, junk food, excessive sugar, and antibiotic use often weaken gut health by destroying good bacteria in the intestines. Poor gut health leads to digestive issues like gas, acidity, constipation, and even affects immunity, skin health, and energy levels. Experts recommend fiber-rich foods and probiotics such as yogurt, but Ramdev emphasizes that yoga doubles the benefits.
Vajrasana and Its Benefits
Vajrasana, often called the “diamond pose,” is performed by sitting on the heels with the spine straight and fists placed on the navel. Practicing it for a few minutes after meals, Ramdev says, helps food move smoothly into the intestines, boosts metabolism, and relieves constipation.
The posture also improves blood circulation, enhancing the efficiency of digestive organs and the brain. Regular practice, Ramdev claims, not only strengthens digestion but also helps in controlling diabetes and maintaining overall wellness.
A Global Movement
Through his efforts, Baba Ramdev has turned yoga into a mass movement, embraced daily by millions across the world. He continues to promote yoga and Ayurveda not just as tools for physical health, but as pathways to mental balance and spiritual harmony. With simple postures like Vajrasana, he urges people to adopt yoga as a daily practice for long-term health.
