Mutual Admiration between Yoga Gurus and PM Modi

Because of his deep rooted belief in the Hindu traditions, the Prime Minister respects the Sanyasis and Yogis. Before the Yogis, he always conducts himself like a shishya of the Guru and follows the ‘Guru Shishya Parampara’, bows down and gets the blessing of his Guru.  Because of his untiring efforts for the betterment and promotion of Hindu traditions the Sanyasis and Yogis too adore their favorite Shishya PM Modi. The viral video of 125 year old Yoga Guru Sivananda bowing down in front of PM Modi and PM Modi reciprocating it testifies the mutual respect of Sanyasis and PM.
