Ramdev stable, say doctors

By IANS,

Dehradun : Fasting yoga guru Baba Ramdev who was hospitalised Friday morning after his condition deteriorated, is stable and recovering, doctors attending on him said. Spiritual guru Sri Sri Ravishankar met Ramdev and urged him to call off his fast that entered the seventh day.

Baba Ramdev was taken to a Dehradun hospital from his ashram on the outskirts of Haridwar Friday morning.

In a health status report, doctors said that Ramdev’s blood pressure, respiration and heart beat were normal. His kidney function was normal, but there was some effect on his liver, said the doctors.

A team of five doctors is taking care of the yoga guru, who has been kept in an isolation ward. Baba Ramdev is on an indefinite fast against corruption and for the retrieval of unaccounted money stashed abroad.

Meanwhile, Sri Sri Ravishankar met Ramdev at the hospital. He told reporters that the yoga guru was in a conscious state and urged him to tell his supporters who are also fasting to take lime water with honey.

“We requested him to end his fast. He said that many people are on fast and told them to take lemon water with honey. He had tears in his eyes and said even children are fasting,” Ravishankar said.

Ramdev Thursday took lemonade and honey on the request of doctors. The yoga guru went on an indefinite fast after being forced to move out of Delhi’s Ramlila Ground a week ago.
