Dehradun: Yoga guru, Baba Ramdev, who was born in a poor family is now one of the best yoga gurus in the world. About 22 years ago, Ramdev started a two-room ashram at Kankhal in Haridwar while earlier he used to sell ayurvedic Chyawanprash and ayurvedic medicines on a bicycle. Ramdev started his empire with small yoga camps. In the early days, Ramdev used to teach yoga for free to all the people who came to his yoga camp.
Today, the reach of Ramdev and his associate Balkrishna can be gauged from the fact that Patanjali Yogpeeth is among the 10 richest companies in the country. In 2017, this was revealed in a well-known Chinese magazine. Divya Yoga Pharmacy, set up by Acharya Balkrishna, is selling all the products ranging from cereals to household items.
