Spiritual Sale - 100% OFF

The sign of growing economy is its Service sector and not manufacturing, though manufacturing cannot be ignored. If we talk about the greatest export of Spirituality from India to the west, its:

  1. Osho
  2. Mahrishi Maheshi Yogi Jee
  3. Sri Aurbindo
  4. Prof. Zakir Naik
  5. Swami Ramdev

Manvendra would probably realize what we have missed, His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi Jee, may peace be upon him.

Every Country exports its Strong points, which defines her. Japan exports Whales so does Greenland. Germany exports technology, in terms of Automobiles and so does the whole Europe. Switzerland advertises its scenic beauty and Austria its Heritage. When all of this is going on some of the Indians are doing export of what India is known for, the spirituality. From Deepak Chopra to the Tattoo on Beckham’s forearm, its spirituality. So there is no reason why we should be hiding or be ashamed of it.

For export, the most important consideration it that your commodity should be of universal value. It should be above cult, culture, creed and nationality. That’s exactly what spiritual Guru’s from India have done, mind you its spiritual gurus’ and not religious gurus’.

Osho and the product/service he believed in and endorsed can’t be reduced to a religion or country. His philosophy was universal; no wonder he still has so much of fan following in Europe and America that can give Rock Stars a complex. May peace be upon him, Osho and his teachings have a mass appeal comparable to FMCG.

Next comes our Maharishi Jee, we never realized during our school days, but Transcendental Meditation (TM) is a heritage which we shall always be proud of. Yes people Mavendra, me and Beatle, we all had one guru, His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi Jee, Surprised but indeed, may peace be upon him.

If we or anybody would try to access the amount of dollar ($), Euro and Pound these Holy man had brought in India, I believe the best of calculative matrix would fail, because in these endeavors money is always a secondary by product and not the end product.

The most recent universal, spiritual export from India is Swami Ramdev, again a service which is for masses. A spiritual FMCG product. A product/service which can be used by anybody, anywhere irrespective of class, creed, country and religion.

It’s high time we start realizing the power of India as a Super Spiritual Exporter (SSE), more in deeds then in words and be proud of it.

It’s not that India and all Indian Guru’s are Spiritual FMCG. India has very enriched and classified class or targeted spiritual product as well. One of my personal favorite is Prof. Zakir Naik, a MBBS by Profession. His Speeches and seminars on Q TV are a true treat, enlightening and eye opening. Prof. Zakir Husain is an authority on Muslim Text and not only on Quran’. But he also is a gem of other text like Torah (Jews) and Bible. His comparisonal and comparable teachings are the one which makes him more believable and of course saleable in Muslim nations, Saudi and the west. He is the most saleable niche spiritual export from India.

I will end this conversation with a request. Please let your soul be silent for a minute to pay tribute to mine and manvender’s spiritual support system, His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi Jee, May peace be upon him. Jai Gurudev.
