New Delhi, Sep 17 (NationPress) On the occasion of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s 75th birthday, Yoga Guru and Patanjali co-founder Baba Ramdev on Wednesday referred to him as “like a God,” a “Sage of the Nation,” and a figure as steadfast as a mountain.
Baba Ramdev praised PM Modi as a champion of Sanatan Dharma and the Swadeshi movement, while launching various nationwide initiatives to commemorate the Prime Minister’s birthday.
Speaking to IANS, he expressed, “He is like God, a Sage of the Nation, a personality like a mountain. He is a true proponent of Sanatan Dharma and the Swadeshi movement. His vision of a Viksit Bharat is something we all must contribute to.”
To honor PM Modi's dedication to youth and education, Patanjali will celebrate this day by recognizing academic excellence.
“On PM Modi's birthday, Patanjali will honor meritorious students across all districts of India. Students who achieve the top three ranks in Class 10 and Class 12 exams under CBSE, state boards, and the Bharatiya Shiksha Board will each receive a cash prize of Rs 50,000. This initiative aims to inspire academic excellence and foster future leaders,” he stated.
Alongside promoting education, Baba Ramdev also unveiled health-oriented programs as a tribute to the Prime Minister’s commitment to wellness and preventive care.
“To enhance accessible healthcare and promote Yoga awareness, 750 free medical check-ups and wellness camps will be organized throughout the country. These camps will bring preventive health services closer to the community,” he added.
Emphasizing PM Modi's leadership, Baba Ramdev remarked, “We will raise awareness about health and promote Swadeshi as a national movement. This will help realize the dream of a Viksit Bharat by 2047. He is not just the Prime Minister; he represents 150 crore citizens of this nation.”
In response to Mukesh Ambani’s birthday wishes calling PM Modi an “avatar purush” sent by God, the Yoga Guru stated, “This is his sentiment. I view him as a divine blessing. He is like a divine figure. Such individuals appear once in a century. His intentions, policies, and leadership are entirely focused on the nation’s welfare.”
On US President Donald Trump extending birthday wishes to PM Modi, Ramdev said, “Trump had previously imposed tariffs, yet now he’s returning like a disciple. The negotiators he sends to India will also bow in humility. The Swadeshi movement will flourish, and even global leaders are starting to recognize India’s strength under PM Modi’s guidance.”
Addressing the Opposition’s personal attacks on PM Modi and his mother, he remarked, “Mocking PM Modi’s mother is not Indian culture. Such conduct is disgraceful and unacceptable.”
