Valuation of the real worth of Swami Ramdev

Questions have been raised about the valuation of properties held by the trusts in which Swami Ramdev is working as a trustee.
Sane people know that a trustee is not the owner of trust properties. There are many trusts where properties are enjoyed by politicians by appointing their family members as trustees. These trusts and the trusts like Divya Yog Mandir  Trust are not comparable.
Swami Ramdev has taken pranayam to masses. Pranayam was considered as a secret science and it's discussion was restricted to the exotic class. Swami Ramdev took pranayam to common people in India.
Pranayam has given following benefits to those who have been practicing it regularly..
1. Great relief from day to day problems like constipation, cough and cold, insomnia, headache.
2. It has given much needed tranquility and equanimity of mind.
3. People who were watching TV late night earlier, started healthy habbit of going to bed at 10 pm and rising at 5 O'Clock in the morning.
4. Even people suffering from diseases that have very high cost of treatment like Heart problems, kidney problems have shown good recoveries after practicing the breathing exercises taught by Swamiji.

So in my opinion one crore people who have been doing pranayam regularly have been benefited to the tune of Rs. 10,000 each and the collective benefit created by Swamiji is Rs. 10,000 Crores.

He also teaches morality and ethics to people at large and there can't be any valuation of such teachings.

I have made this write-up to help people view the valuation of Swamiji's contribution to the nation in the right context.
