Suttur: The 52nd birthday of yoga guru Baba Ramdev, Founder of Patanjali Group of Institutions, was celebrated in a grand manner in the presence of a large gathering at Suttur Sri Kshetra in Nanjangud taluk yesterday. The birthday celebrations was organised in the presence of Suttur Seer Sri Shivarathri Deshikendra Swamiji on the last day of the three-day Yoga Chikitsa and Meditation Shivir organised by Patanjali Group. Baba Ramdev was taken out in a huge decorated chariot with musicians and various cultural troupes along with hundreds of devotees accompanying, to the JSS Residential School. Suttur Seer placed the jasmine-flower-decorated crown on the Baba’s head and presented a life-size wooden-relief panel depicting the yoga guru. Baba Ramdev, speaking after the felicitation, said that this is the first time a yoga shivir is being held in Suttur Kshetra and the Swamiji remembering to celebrate my birthday at this time is truly laudable. More than 4,000 children have taken shelter in Suttur Mutt and added to this, more than one lakh children are receiving education reflecting the cultural ethos of the society. By doing charity and philanthropy one will receive punya or grace but by educating the children one receives mahapunya. The Suttur Mutt is involved in such a great work, Baba lauded.
