Shri Shri Ravishankar of Art of Living said that pharmaceutical firms had been lobbying against the ancient Ayurveda system of medicine.
Speaking at an interaction with the media at the Alvas Shobhavana, Ravishankar said being concerned over the growing popularity of the Ayurveda system abroad, mulitinational companies were indulging in a propaganda that Indian systems of medicine including Ayurveda had no scientific basis. He urged the government to prioritize indigenous healthcare methods of Ayurveda, Yoga and nature cure.
Replying to questions on varied subjects, Ravishankar said the public should refrain from both receiving and giving bribes. If corruption was not rooted out, there would not be any future for the country. He also regretted that even the judiciary was not above corruption.
While admitting that certain 'Raavan Sadhus' had brought a bad name to the spiritual world, he said that those writing against the Art of Living organization on the Internet were doing so for their popularity.
