Yogi not a saint but a materialist enjoying power: Raj Babbar


Lucknow, Oct 23 (IANS): Uttar Pradesh Congress Committee (UPCC) president Raj Babbar on Monday attacked the state government for non-performance and said Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath was "not a sadhu but a swadu (materialist)".

Addressing an event in Gorakhpur to mark the birth centenary celebrations of late Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, the actor-turned-politician said that while on the one hand Adityanath is enjoying the perks of power on the other he wants to portray himself as a monk.

"The Chief Minister will have to choose one of these, whether he is a saint or a person who is enjoying power," Raj Babbar added.

He also slammed the BJP for its "persistent questioning" of the patriotism of others and asked whether the BJP considered Subhas Chandra Bose, Ashfaqullah Khan, Ram Prasad Bismill and Bhagat Singh as patriots or not.

The Congress leader said that many BJP leaders like former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee have in the past openly praised the contribution of Indira Gandhi but the present dispensation refuses to do so.

    Both a yogi and a philosopher are seekers of an absolute truth. But they differ in their modes of approach. A philosopher advances in the path of rational logic (theory) and wants to intellectually understand the Truth. A yogi advances in the path of self discipline (practice) and aspires to spiritually realize truth.
    Arjuna asks, “Please tell me about the qualities of yogis: deep people with practical intelligence who have attained samadhi. What do they talk about? How do they sit still? How do they walk around?”
    The fundamental quality of a true yogi is dispassion for all that is external to the soul. How does she “talk?” She talks dispassionately, fearlessly, calmly without partiality towards anything in this WORLD.
    Ethical duties;
    Ahiṃsā: non violence, non-harming other living beings
    Satya: truthfulness, non-falsehood
    Asteya: not stealing
    Dayā: kindness, compassion
    Ārjava: non-hypocrisy, sincerity
    Kṣamā: forgiveness
    Dhṛti: fortitude
    Mitāhāra: moderation in diet both in terms of quantity and quality
    Śauca: purity, cleanliness
    Tapas: austerity, persistence and perseverance in one's purpose
    Santoṣa: contentment, acceptance of others and of one's circumstances as they are, optimism for self
    Dāna: generosity, charity, sharing with others
    5 Controversial Statements Yogi
    1.Against Mother Teresa
    2.Surya Namaskar or the Deep Sea
    3.Killing 10 Muslims to avenge a single murder of a Hindu
    4.For Yogi, Shah Rukh and Hafiz Saeed are same
    5.On conversions: If one Hindu girl is converted, we will convert 100 Muslims girls.
    The monk who owns a revolver, a rifle.In his last few terms alone, Adityanath has also been able to increase his assets substantially from Rs9.6 lakh in 2004 to Rs71 lakh in 2014, according to data from the ADR. Other members of parliament have recorded steeper increases in shorter period but this 649% jump in assets over a decade is quite an achievement for someone who cites his profession as “religious missionary” and “social worker.”
