Well that certainly took an unexpected dark turn.
Pretty interesting article and worth a read, he seems like an interesting character. Based purely off this I'd say he seems to be a pretty unscrupulous businessman who hides behind a veneer of yoga and piousness, but who really knows.
- throwaway76557 8y agoI'd be very wary of anything the English media (or in general any WASP-oriented ones) have to say about this person. - He is associated with the Sangh Parivar. - Advocates for nativism of very anarchist character. - Asks (and takes out ads) not to support multi-national companies (tidbit: East India Companies led to India's industrial ruination) - He is massively popular, for having taken Yoga to the masses, and poses a threat to the geopolitically loaded "harvesting" efforts by Xtian missionaries (see Africa for comparison). People who have done one or the other of the above have been targeted by journalists in India (Sadhguru, Kanchi Jeeyar, Nithyananda...), often with planted stories, and with backing by 'neutral' NGOs, or 'secular' state apparatus etc. In short, what is not mentioned in the article is that, he has no shortage of enemies. Personally, their products are often much much better (esp. the tooth paste & instant noodles), and often at a fraction of the cost of Unilever's brands.

- collyw 8y agoThat seems to be jumping to conclusions a lot. I am pretty sure human DNA is one of the most common contaminants in lab tests.

- xevb3k 8y agoWeirdly, I’ve seen human skulls for sale on eBay. I’d guess there are various issues in adding them to medicines however... But it sounds possibly more likely someone trying to get back at the company to me. I mean, what’s the marketing value of adding human skulls to your medicines if you don’t tell people about it? Elsewhere medicines claiming to contain human flesh have been sold on the black market, it’s all pretty horrifying: https://m.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/dec/31/chinese-cannibalism-infant-flesh-outrages-world/ https://m.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/dec/31/chinese-canni...

- marcelluspye 8y agoFWIW, ebay says it forbids the sale of human remains. If you do find real skulls on there, you should probably report them. https://www.ebay.com/help/policies/prohibited-restricted-items/human-remains-body-parts-policy?id=4325 https://www.ebay.com/help/policies/prohibited-restricted-ite...
- pvaldes 8y agoThe human skulls and skeletons sold for students should be bleached, probably distroying most human DNA if not all. Temporarily owning a (second) human skull is legal in some countries under some circumstances. For example more than 5 years after the people passing out, scientific use only, and a permit from the family (or bones unidentified and left in an ossuary for decades). The governments allow thousands of permits each year.
