Baba Ramdev's comics to hit stands

DEHRA DUN: Chacha Chaudhry, Nagraj, Dhruv, Superman and all super heroes of the comics world will now face a new challenge in the form of Baba Ramdev, who will soon appear in strips to teach the art of yoga to youngsters.

A Patna-based artist Suman Prasad Mehta has been roped in to prepare the comics of Baba Ramdev. The books will hit the market by October-November.

The move has been taken to make yoga popular among younger generation, which is leaning toward western lifestyle.

Initially, the comics series will be in five parts -- Pranayam-I, Pranayam-II, Yogasan, Paranayam-Sahyogi Asan and Samanya Khanpaan Aur Pranayam.

"We are pleased to announce that yoga of Baba Ramdev will be available in comics within a month," said Acharya Balkrishan, the incharge of the Divyayog ashram at Haridwar.

The work on the comics of Baba Ramdev was going on since last one year, he said.

"We will be telling the readers about the importance of yoga with a detailed history," the Acharya added.
