Ramdev (born Ram Kisan Yadav[a] between 1965 and 1975), also known by the prefix Baba, is an Indian yoga guru[6] and businessman.[7][1] He is primarily known for being a proponent of yoga and ayurveda in India.[8][1] Ramdev has been organizing and conducting large yoga camps since 2002 and broadcasting his yoga sessions on various TV channels.[1][9] He co-founded Patanjali Ayurved and Patanjali Yogpeeth with his colleague Balkrishna in 2006.[10]
Ramdev is aligned with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on some issues.[1][11][12] In 2011–2012, he led protests against corruption in India and advocated for the repatriation of black money held in foreign banks.[13][14] Ramdev has received criticism over his comments related to modern medicine, yoga, and ayurveda.[15][16]
In April 2022, The Indian Express listed Ramdev as the 78th most powerful Indian.[17]
