Bangalore: Art of Living Teacher Sri Raviahankar Guruji has agreed to shave off his hairs on his head and face, if one someone proves to him that he has financed the fight of Anna Hazare against corruption in India. The allegation was worth Rs.10 crores.
Ravishankar himself was facing the charge of swallowing the land of 15 acres of one of his disciples from Kerala. Such a person’s support to Anna Hazaere was condemned by some ministers, progressive thinkers and observers ranged against the Kriya Yoga (Sudershan) Guru, with beard and long hairs.
He offered to shave them all if it was proved by someone that he financed the Jan Lokpal movement. But H.D.Kumaraswamy (JDS-MP) has accused him of contributing Rs.10 crores to Anna Hazare’s movement, and he challenged the JD-S MP to prove the charge made. People await the outcome of this tussle.
Ravishankar went on to say, he had not paid a penny or a rupee to anyone to finance the people’s movement. But he had tried to mediate or gain an understanding of Hazare’s movement. There was no need for him to pay anything to Hazare team, he said. Nevertheless, if the allegation is proved a fact, he would shave his head and face, the Yoga Guru drummed out in public.
