5 life lessons that can be learned from Swami Ramdev's journey to global influence

Send Push
Baba Ramdev is a famous and respected name across Indian households, and in other parts of the world as well. From teaching Yoga early in the morning on live TV, to going on to become a co-founder of a business empire with Patanjali, Baba Ramdev’s journey is both inspiring and unique.
And here we mention 5 lessons one can take from his life, his actions, his career, and his nature, that helped him excel overtime.

Dream big, always


Baba Ramdev did not come from an influential family, but he made himself an influencer even before it was a ‘trend’. And his influence helped millions of people around the world completely transform themselves. And what set him apart right from the start was his vision.

He started with a small ashram and began teaching yoga without any fancy studios or big followers.
Slowly, he started appearing on television, and millions of people across India began to follow his yoga sessions. And eventually, he became a household name. From there, he built Patanjali Ayurved , a brand that became a major player in the Indian FMCG market.

Simple living, healthy living

Even though with time Baba Ramdev became famous and well-known, not a thing about his lifestyle changed. He wears traditional clothes, sticks to a vegetarian diet, and continues to practice yoga and pranayama daily. Even as his company grew and wealth followed, he didn’t let material success change his basic lifestyle.
And his simplicity is something that people admire. It is a reminder that a fulfilling life can be lived without chasing luxury.

Believe in your values

In a world that looks towards the West for trends, Baba Ramdev stood firm in promoting India’s traditional knowledge. He didn’t try to copy others or jump into fads for fame, instead, he focused on Ayurveda , yoga, and Indian health systems. And while many people doubted whether that would work in the modern market, he proved them wrong.
Today, Patanjali is everywhere. From small towns to big cities, people trust him because Patanjali represents something familiar and local.

Use what you can for benefit of all

One of the key factors in Baba Ramdev’s success was how he used television and the media to influence people and help them walk in the right direction. He did not just preach yoga in ashrams, he took it to people’s homes. His daily yoga shows in the early 2000s became a routine for millions, and from housewives to elderly of the family, everybody tuned in to follow along and stay fit

Be fearless

Another thing people should learn from Baba Ramdev is his stance. He does not shy away from speaking on controversial topics, be it health fads, social issues, or the like, and he voices his opinions and stands by them.
This fearless attitude gained him both followers and critics, and helped make a strong identity.
