A recent Indian court ruling which legalises gay sex has been challenged by Swami Baba Ramdev. The TV star and popular yoga expert claims that the Delhi courts have made a mistake in decriminalising – what he describes as – “unnatural sex acts”.
Writing to the Indian Supreme Court, Ramdev said, “It can be treated like any other congenital defect. Such tendencies can be treated by yoga, pranayama (breathing exercises) and other meditation techniques,”
The Indian legal system allows anyone to challenge a court’s decision by raising the matter to a higher court. Swami Ramdev is already on the record as describing homosexuality as “mental bankruptcy” and “against God and creation”.
Ramdev is not the only Indian guru to have filed against the petition. The famous astrologer Suresh Kumar Kaushal’s petition to the court suggests that if gay sex is legalised that, “tomorrow people might seek permission for having sex with animals”.

What’s your view on this? Are you surprised a yoga guru is so homophobic? Do you think this will reflect badly on yoga? Perhaps you think it’ll reflect well on yoga?
Well I’ve always had a great amount of gratitude for the
Mind opening and basically soul awakening
art form that yoga is but to read that a swami is teaching people that gaysex is a disease
That can be “cured” by yoga, its not exactl a statement
That I’m angeRed by because I’ve read and heard much
worse, I’m just curious how the swami claims that its the truth. Did he have this so called
disease and found that yoga curbed his desires for other men himself?
Its a saDdening and ignorant statement coming from whom I thought would be openminded and understanding
And I’m only 15.
My perspective on yoga has been a tad affective but I will gladly continue practicing yoga.
I am myself a gay and I claim that he is simply blaberring to achieve a unique popularity in the society……
