BABA RAMDEV v/s HANUMAN
Has Swami Ramdev done what Hanuman couldn't?
As the Ramayana goes: even the mighty Hanuman failed to locate this herb, forcing him to carry an entire mountain all the way to Lanka. But Baba Ramdev's Pitanjali Yogpeeth in Haridwar has claimed to locate the sanjeevani booti.
"We have found two plants of sanjeevani group after roaming at a height of nearly 15,000 feet in the Dronagiri hills," Acharya Balkrishna, a key associate of Baba Ramdev told the Hindustan Times. Two ayurvedic doctors, he said, accompanied him to Donagiri.
The sanjeevani plant is well known for its medicinal properties and is mentioned in Ayurveda and other ancient texts. Balkrishna claimed sanjeevani booti is a group of medicinal plants, which includes mrit sanjeevani (Aussureau), kasturi komal (Gossipiphora), van (Pleurospermum Candollei).
"Mrit Sanjeevani is one of the rarest plants discovered by our team," claims Balkrishna. Mrit Sanjeevani, according to Ramayana, has "resurrecting quality" and "Lakshman was brought to life because of this medicine".
According to Ramayana, Hanuman couldn't find sanjeevani booti and lifted the Dronagiri hills. However, it took just six days for the team of Acharaya to discover the booti.
Several scientists in the country and the National Botanical Research Institute were also conducting research on sanjeevani booti. The plant reportedly existed since 300 million years and was the first vascular plants on the earth.
